Hey everybody!

Today we are excited to release the new Equipment Fortification System. In this update, you will be able to obtain Fortifying Ingots as you battle through the deeper frenzy levels of hunts. Using these ingots will increase the stats of early-game equipment to the point where they are as powerful as the equipment available to you in later game hunts - and beyond. We hope you will have fun exploring all of the new equipment combinations that are now available to you!

Next Up!
We have another "Launch Feedback Plan" update coming up before we release more information on the first big content update. In the next update coming soon, we will be introducing new powers into the game to greatly expand the number of powers available in the starting pool of powers, roughly doubling the number of powers that you will see in the early stages of the game. We're not done with powers though, we will continue to add more new powers throughout Early Access, including new Fabled Power families.

Following that, we have our first big content update shortly after introducing a whole new Hunt. This new Hunt will be available in all frenzy levels and will include new weapons, armour, enemies, and more!

More details will come with the next update.

We hope you enjoy the new Equipment Fortification system, but we'd also like to tempt you with a little sneak peek at what is coming next.

Hey everybody!

Before we get to our first proper content update we have two more important "Launch Feedback" updates planned. We have one update coming next week and another will follow shortly behind that.

The first update addresses two things we want to improve:

• We want to reward player creativity, but currently that creativity is restricted by your equipment's Attack and Defense values. Early game gear becomes obsolete too quickly, and players cannot take their favourite equipment along with them.
• Previous changes to make upgrading simpler removed some of the aspirational loot collecting that many players enjoy.

Coming Next Week
To help address these, we will be adding the ability to upgrade equipment even further than their natural levels, by collecting Ingots. Through these Ingots, you will be able to upgrade the stats of your equipment so you can continue using your Yammo's Noggin-Padder well into the higher Frenzies of The Molded Grave for those heavily boosted Focus damage Cannon blasts. This new upgrade system will apply to all equipment going forward.

This will naturally include a few balance changes to account for the fact that all equipment will be viable at end-game, with a focus on maintaining fun and variety.

We know that Ingots will not yet fully satisfy the loot-chasing desires of our players (or ourselves!) so know that we continue to think deeply about the different roles that different types of loot will play in Rotwood as we progress through Early Access.

Lastly, we will also be including a few Quality of Life upgrades: for example, the ability to check the status of your Masteries during a run.


Thank you for playing, and thank you for your feedback!
