[h2]1.11.0 Update Preview — Release Date Update[/h2]
What’s Going On Now?!

Hope you’re having a warm and wonderful end of the year. As we mentioned before, the team has been fully focused on developing a brand-new progression system: Hearth of Souls.

Hearth of Souls is a new skill-tree-style system that unlocks and evolves each hero’s hidden potential.



Every hero has their own unique tree structure, and your choices will shape how they grow—pushing both build direction and character identity even further.



This system will also enable completely new abilities, special skills, and powerful passive effects that haven’t existed in the game until now.



Because this update is big enough to shake up the entire progression meta, we’re taking extra time to polish it thoroughly—aiming for it to be the largest update of Early Access so far.

Release Date Update

Survivors,

We’d like to share that the core development for the upcoming update is complete. We’ve been working around the clock through the year-end holidays to keep our promise of a December release.

However, with the addition of 80–90 new attributes for each character, we’ve realized we need more time for thorough testing and balancing to ensure the best possible gameplay experience. To deliver a more polished, higher-quality update, we’ve made the difficult decision to delay the release by two weeks, to January 14.

We’re truly sorry for missing our original timeline. We’ll use this extra time to test, balance, and polish so the update is well worth the wait. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
