[p]Hello vikings![/p][p]Today we bring a small patch, including the following:[/p]

• [p]Some Remnants of Corruption leaderboards were not showing properly.[/p]
• [p]If you returned to Survivors of Ragnarok after playing Endless in Remnants of Corruption, it was still detected as Endless. This has already been fixed.[/p]
• [p]Due to the expansion of our server and the increase in the number of characters, we had to pause some rankings, specifically those for Unn and Lorcan. They have now been restored and re-enabled, although the scores they contained have been lost. Sorry for that inconvenience![/p]
• [p]PT-BR translation improvements.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]That’s all for today. We will check back soon![/p][p]Cheers![/p][p][/p][p]If you have any suggestions, issues or any kind of feedback, don't hesitate to contact us: 🔸 Discord. 🔸 Steam Community[/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello Vikings![/p][p] [/p][p]These past weeks we’ve been updating Remnants of Corruption DLC to try and make it more fun and balanced, which has always been our goal. Some of the most important improvements have been:[/p]

• [p]Regarding Normal, Hard, and Expert levels have been rebalanced.[/p]
• [p]Reduced wave time/room duration.[/p]
• [p]Hardcore will remain challenging, we don't want to loose that Ragnarok essence.[/p]
• [p]The rarity of weapon stat upgrades now depends on their level. This means that at level 1 they will grant common upgrades, at level 3 they will grant rare upgrades, etc.[/p]
• [p]As you climb the tower floors, the weapons you collect will appear at a higher level.[/p]
• [p]Meta-progress corruption has been significantly reduced. Upgrades that improve stats no longer increase corruption.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]DLC Update[/h2][p]Today’s update will cover new improvements and fixes that will keep balancing Remnants of Corruption DLC.[/p]

• [p]New constellation display for this game mode.[/p]
• [p]New floor tiles for higher floors and final boss fight.[/p]
• [p]Hardcore and Endless have been enhanced.[/p]
• [p]Difficulty increased on floors +50 in Endless Mode.[/p]
• [p]You may switch to Endless mode after finishing a Hardcore run.[/p]
• [p]New tutorials have been added.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Summer in Vanaheim[/h2][p]To celebrate Steam’s Summer Fest, just as last year, we decided to brighten up Vanaheim and turn it into a beach party! From today until July 15th you’ll be able to play Summer in Vanaheim. This will not change playability, as it will be summer cosmetic skin. [/p][p][/p][h2]Summer themed relics[/h2][p]You can also enjoy seasonal relics! Please notice that themed relics will appear more often than regular ones. On that note, you may disable the Summer event on the Settings panel if you prefer to play regular runs. [/p][h2]Unn’s Fire skin [/h2][p]Unn’s Summer Fest skin: the Fire skin. This is the time of the year when it will be much easier to get Unn's skin. Win one run in Vanaheim while this event lasts to unlock her forever. If you don’t get the chance during this time frame, don’t worry, as a new requirement will be set so you can get it. [/p][p][/p][h2]Summer Steam Sale[/h2][p]All Nordic Ashes products will be having a great discount to celebrate summer season![/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]Thanks for bearing with us!
