Hello fellow delvers,

We are presenting a new major update "Research"! Unlock old and new technologies with a help of the new Scientist profession.



Additionally, we’ve updated the visuals of the game map as well as many of the monsters.



For those who love speedrunning, the completion time for the tutorial quest chain is now displayed on the leaderboards. How fast can you finish it?
