Hello, treasure hunters!
It’s been a little while since Lost Castle 2 launched in Early Access, and in that time, we’ve received tons of warm feedback and thoughtful suggestions from all of you. We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, steadily pushing toward full release—and now, it’s time to share a sneak peek at what’s coming next.

[h3]Let’s dive into the July and August updates![/h3]



[h2]July Update (Expected Early July)[/h2]

• Castle Bridge Stage Overhaul: A major redesign is on the way! We’re replacing the “airport runway” layout with a more dynamic stage featuring new towers, drop-offs, and split paths—giving you more route options and tactical choices during your runs.
  
• New Boss Incoming: A brand-new boss will make its debut, complete with unique gear and treasure for you to discover and collect!
  

[h2]August Update[/h2]

• New Branch Stage – Castle Dungeon: Descend through a hidden entrance beneath the bridge and explore the forgotten depths of the Black Castle’s dungeon. Prepare for danger—and plenty of loot.
  
• Two New Bosses: Face off against two powerful new foes, each guarding exclusive treasures and equipment.
  
• New Mechanics in Testing: We’re currently experimenting with exciting new features like mounts and transformations, which will come with unique weapons and interactive creatures. Stay tuned for more details!
  

[h2]Treasure Vault Rework[/h2]
Since launching in Early Access, we’ve heard your feedback loud and clear—some systems feel overly complex, with steep learning curves, too many choices, and unclear mechanics. We get it—the dev team feels the same way!
As Lost Castle 2 continues to grow, we’ve been working since the March update on a full-scale rework of the Treasure Vault and related systems to create a smoother and more balanced experience. Here’s what to expect:

• Simplified Treasure Effects: We’re streamlining some of the more complicated treasure effects to make their benefits clearer and easier to understand.
  
• Improved Drop System: It’ll be easier to complete gear sets and build the playstyle you want.
  
• Mechanical Tweaks: We're adjusting certain mechanics and values to improve combat pacing and enhance strategic depth.
  

This is a major revamp still in development. Once it’s ready, we’ll release it as a test branch—and we’d love for you to try it out and share your feedback to help us polish it to perfection.

We’re committed to being more transparent with our development moving forward, so expect more updates like this in the future. Got feedback or ideas? Drop them in the comments or join the discussion in our Discord!
Thank you all for your continued support—see you in the next update!
