Hi folks,
The next update is just around the corner! Let’s call it the "Ashwick" update, and I’m excited to share what’s coming to the world of
Erannorth Renaissance. Expected to arrive
mid to late February, this update brings new content and features to enhance your experience. So, let’s dive into the details!
A Story Reaches Its ConclusionSo far, the content updates have been about setting the foundation of the game’s story—building the world, the "players," and the web of choices that shape your journey. With this update, all the story branches come together in a satisfying conclusion.
Think of it as the end of the first book in a trilogy: not the final word on the tale, but a meaningful and conclusive resolution to the arcs you’ve been shaping. It’s a moment to reflect on the choices you’ve made and the impact they’ve had on the world.
What’s Next for the Story?While this update ties up many loose ends, it also sets the stage for what’s next. Future updates will ask a simple yet exciting question:
What if you could write the second book? What would the story be? My plan is to give you new quests and emergent content to explore these possibilities. The choices you’ve made so far will ripple forward, shaping the next chapter of the story in meaningful ways. Who is alive and who isn’t will also play a pivotal role, as their survival—or absence—directly changes the world around you, opening new paths or closing others entirely.
A More Lively WorldThe focus of this update—and those to come—is to bring even more life into the world of
Erannorth Renaissance. My goal is to make the experience richer and more immersive by adding:
- New opportunities to explore the world and uncover hidden stories.
- NPCs with their own goals and motivations to interact with.
- More thrilling fights and challenging combat scenarios.
- A variety of new perks, items, and customization options to fine-tune your character.
This enhanced vibrancy extends across the regions you’ve explored, and there’s even more planned for the areas you know and love. The world map you can explore is already quite large, spanning Llanford, Heygrove, Taymoor, Keywick, Valetport, Ponthill, and Ashwick. While I plan to expand the map in the future, I’ll also be revisiting each of these areas with new quests and opportunities. These additions will encourage you to travel between regions and experience them in a fresh, new light.
It’s worth mentioning that Ponthill and Ashwick were introduced earlier than planned in the previous hotfix, which also brought some of this update’s content—like new heritages and species—forward prematurely.
What’s in the New Update?Ashwick update brings a wealth of new content to explore. Over 20 fresh events introduce impactful choices that shape your path, while new combat maps and tougher fights will put your tactics to the test. You’ll discover unique items to enhance your playstyle and unlock new strategies, along with additional customization options to make your characters truly yours. NPC interactions have been expanded, offering new dialogue options, quests tied to their personal agendas, and dynamic responses to your actions.
Whether you're drawn to the story, combat, or character-building, this update offers something for everyone.
Your Feedback MattersAs I continue to expand and refine the game, I’d love to hear from you! What do you want to see more of in
Erannorth Renaissance? Are there specific kinds of quests, mechanics, or features you’re excited about? Your input will help shape the updates to come, so feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. I can’t wait to hear what you think and see how you shape the future of the game!
