New Arc Line News

[p][/p][p]Greetings, Magicians and Technologists![/p][p]It's a wonderful day today, as there's plenty of great news to share! Let's start off easy – along with TactiCon's start at 7PM CEST, July 17, New Arc Line will be discounted by 20% for the whole duration of the event. Hopefully you managed to catch your breath after the Steam Summer Sale![/p][p][/p][p]Now to the core of today's message – the anticipated Smoke & Mirrors Content Update is out NOW![/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Introducing the Dwarves![/p][p]New Arc Line’s first major Content Updates introduces dwarves as a new playable race: Tough, stubborn and built like brick walls, dwarves are natural-born crafters with a deep bond to stone, steel and the arcane – and bring with them two new playable classes: the Hellfire Mage and Steam Mechanic!

Hellfire Mage: Dwarven class[/p][p]Unleash pure chaos with the most brutal school of magic yet! The Hellfire Mage channels dark, burning energies into devastating attacks – it’s a dangerous path for those who dare to walk it, but one that leads to the most destructive arcane powers known to the world.

Hellfire Occultists invoke searing flames and summon demonic forces straight onto the battlefield. They're not the type to flinch from danger or try to negotiate first – they thrive on destruction. Wielding heavy maces, morning stars and similar vicious weapons, these warlocks back up their infernal spells with raw physical might, making sure that if their fire can't get the job done, a crushing blow will. In the eyes of a Hellfire Occultist, might makes right, the ends justify the means, and mercy is for the weak.
[/p][p]Steam Mechanic: Dwarven class[/p][p]The Steam Mechanic, meanwhile, is a true Juggernaut of Invention. These wily creators tackle every challenge head-on, relying on roaring, coal-powered engines as well as their iron-like willpower. With gear powered by steam and raw ingenuity, they enhance the strength and resilience of their bodies. With each new piece of equipment, they become more and more of a walking fortress. [/p][p]The most adept Mechanics eventually assemble and pilot full steam-driven exoskeletons - towering machines built to smash, crush, and survive anything the world throws at them. When muscle meets machinery, nothing can stand in their way. If you choose the path of a Steampunk Mechanic, prepare to blend technological tradition and innovation, engineering prowess and a sharp tactical mind to fully utilize the many ingenious gadgets at your disposal.[/p][p]These classes are currently exclusive to the Dwarves, but will become available to all races through subsequent updates. 
[/p][p]New Questline[/p][p]This update also takes you on an all-new adventure with the introduction of the "Step Behind the Curtain" questline, which will whisk you away to a new location – the Sacred Tree. On your journey, you will have the opportunity to meet a mysterious new friend – who will prove to be important in future updates![/p][p]

[/p][p]Those would be the most important additions to the world of New Arc, the whole Change Log can be found below the article.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Now a bit of economical news – as New Arc Line grows bigger and gets closer to the full launch, we will be adjusting its price to 24,99 EUR/24,99 USD/20,99 GBP. The price change will happen AFTER TactiCon, so you still have time to get New Arc Line for the great price with the aforementioned discount.[/p][p][/p][p]And that's it for today! Thank you for being such a supportive community, we hope you enjoy the Smoke & Mirrors update at least as much as we do! Come join our Discord, have a chat with the community and share your feedback.[/p][p]And if you really enjoy the update, there is no better place to leave your thoughts than in a positive review here on Steam. These, as little as they might seem, help us to move on through the Early Access period and the feedback is invaluable.
