Gatekeeper News

[h3]Greetings, Gatekeepers![/h3]

Today, we are excited to announce the release date of the long-awaited second major update!

[h2]The CHILDREN OF TARRA UPDATE will launch on February 20th![/h2]

Let us remind you what this update will bring:

1. New Gatekeeper – Void Model. Void Model is a swift and lethal melee Gatekeeper. All her attacks are designed to boost her movement speed and slip past enemies.
   
2. New locations for existing planets.
3. New Planet – Palium. Palium is the home planet of one of the oldest sirens - Tarra. Previously, you could encounter Tarra only in the Arena; now she will be another obstacle on the path to the Heart of Time in the main campaign.
   
4. New System: Artifact Ban for a Run.
   
5. Elite Enemies System.
6. Lots of QoL improvements and bug fixes.
   
7. A pack of new artifacts, which we'd like to tell you more about today.
   

[h3]Modifiers:[/h3]

Bloodletter: Chance to inflict bleeding.

Bulwark: When health drops below a threshold, grants a protective shield over your health that diminishes over time and when taking damage.

Tranquilizer: Critical hits slow enemies for 3 seconds.

Blood Mark: Increases bleeding damage.

Ember Mark: Reduces the delay between burn ticks.

Stasis Mark: Increases the duration of slow effects.


[h3]Structure Changes:[/h3]

Berserker's Token: Killing an enemy increases attack speed for 3 seconds.

Catalyst: Using the second skill creates an electric discharge dealing elemental damage to enemies within a radius of 12 units around the Gatekeeper.

Pulsar: On critical hit, has a chance to summon a meteor at the location of the struck enemy, dealing damage in a small area.

Root: On kill, has a chance to root up to 3 enemies within a radius of 15 units for 5 seconds.


[h3]Amulets:[/h3]

Halfmetal Head: Summons golems that fight alongside the Gatekeeper. They can die and will resurrect after a cooldown.


[h3]Runes of Creation:[/h3]

Momentum: A short dash at the start of sprinting that allows passing through enemies.


[h3]Cursed Signatures:[/h3]

Duality Sigil: In even minutes of the run, the Gatekeeper deals reduced damage, but in odd minutes, damage is significantly increased.

Leech: Attacks with skills 2–3–4 restore health to the Gatekeeper as a percentage of damage dealt, but attacks with the first skill deal damage to the Gatekeeper.



We also want to share an update to the mechanics of some artifacts in our game. We have changed the growth type of their effects to logarithmic.

What does this mean for you?

• Early in the game, you won't notice any changes: the effects of artifacts will remain the same as before.
  
• With logarithmic growth, each new stack of an artifact will bring benefits, but the incremental effect will slightly decrease. This adds an extra challenge and makes the late stages of the game more exciting.
  

This decision was made based on a vote in our Discord community, where we would be happy to see you as well.

[h2]Hello, Gatekeepers! [/h2]
Today, we have a small update for you that fixes some issues and adds a few QOL features.



General:

• Added teammate HP bars to the player UI.
  
• Updated conditions for obtaining the "Untouchable" achievement.
  
• Added DPS dummies to the Quiet Bay location.
  
• Added a shortcut to the Obelisk of Curse on Quiet Bay.
  
• Colossus and Collector no longer appear in early arena rounds.
  
• The "Beware of Souls" event no longer appears along with the Chaos Ward objective.
  
• Added status effect display on the main HP bar of Sirens.
  
• Improved enemy and interactive object spawning.
  
• Slightly increased scroll sensitivity on scrollable UI elements.

• Minor reconnection fixes.

• Storm Rods no longer block Ward points.
  
• Some status effects could reapply to mobs when a client reconnected to the run.
  
• Holding TAB immediately after picking up a new artifact now keeps the inventory panel on screen as intended. Previously, it would disappear.

• Fixed some minimap artifacts when a player approaches the edge of a location.

We’ve already started working on new content, and we’re also actively addressing issues with crashes and the infinite loading screen during late-game stages.

Thank you for your valuable feedback!

Hello Gatekeepers!

Due to the release of the Interplanetary Store Update, we’re updating the roadmap and making a few changes:

• The artifact ban has been moved to the next major update. We need more time to properly plan and integrate this system.
  
• Considering the number of changes in this update, we decided to postpone the creation of new artifacts to the next major update. The new artifacts will come together with new Triads.
  
• The “Pylons of Chaos” event from the second major update has been transformed into a new quest - “Chaos Ward” - and was released in the current update.
  
• The “Stylization of arenas to match all planets” point has been removed from the roadmap, as we decided to reallocate efforts toward new mechanics and content. Cosmetic changes are still planned but will be worked on in our free time.
  

With the latest update, the game has grown larger and more complex, so we need more time to integrate new content and develop new systems. The update timelines have shifted slightly to ensure we deliver a higher-quality game.



Thank you for your valuable feedback, which helps make the game better!

Hello Gatekeepers!
Today we have a small patch for you that fixes several issues.

Fixes:

• Items on the ground were not showing up on the minimap.
  
• Void Traps weren't disappearing in the arena after the round ended.
  
• Fixed a softlock issue for the host after a client disconnected, if the host was dead and the game was paused.
  
• The first strike of Hybrid's External Bios skill was not dealing damage if there were no other enemies near the target.
  

General:

• Added a warning about losing progress in the pause menu when exiting the game.
  
• Reworked the shooting mechanics of Tech Hunter's first skill. Bullets are now more accurate and tighter at medium and short distances. Additionally, Tech Hunter can now aim at a specific enemy, like Hybrid.
  
• Teammates' head direction (where they are looking) is now visible.
  
• The message about resurrecting a teammate is now displayed in the chat as soon as the progress bar is filled.
  
• Added the option to disable Bloom in the video settings.
  

Thank you for your valuable feedback!
We hope your gaming experience improves.
