[h3]Hello Abyss's Explorers,[/h3][p]Quick update - I caught a pretty rough sickness these past days, so the Big Update needs to be pushed back by one more week.[/p][p]I want to make sure everything releases in the best shape, and rushing while sick won’t help anyone.[/p][p]Thank you so much for understanding.[/p][p][/p][h3]Now the good news:[/h3][p]We’ve officially completed Primorath 2.0 - a full-world overhaul of the dinosaur realm.[/p][p]The world is now smaller but richer.[/p][p]The Dinosaurs have been completely redesigned. They’re cuter, more expressive, and feel far more alive than the old version.[/p][p]Terrain layout, resource flow, enemy placement, and environmental storytelling are all reworked from the ground up.[/p][p]We’ll list every detail in the upcoming Big Update post,[/p][p]but for now, enjoy this small showcase video of the new Primorath.[/p][p]Just a glimpse - the rest is yours to discover.[/p][p][/p][p]New Big Update Release Date (Pacific Time):[/p][p]Friday, December 5th, 2025 - 10:00 AM PST[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you again for your patience and kindness.[/p][p]We’re almost there - one week more, and the Abyss will open again.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h3]Hey Explorers,[/h3][p]We’re almost there.[/p][p]The Big Update is entering its final stage - our team’s deep in the last rounds of gameplay testing and polish before release.[/p][p]It’s been a long road, but everything’s coming together.[/p][p]New worlds, reworked systems, and a clearer path through the Abyss.[/p][p]This week, we want to give you a small peek at Titanholm, one of the massive realms arriving with the big update - a world shaped by ancient golems, endless stone veins, and the pulse of the Abyss itself.[/p][p]Just a glimpse though - the rest is yours to discover when the update launches in about two weeks![/p][p]The Abyss stirs once again… and soon, you’ll feel its heartbeat.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[p]“The worlds were never meant to be separate…[/p][p]Yet when the Abyss shattered, even the laws of creation lost their way.”[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Hello, Explorers[/h3][p]This Dev Log isn’t about fixes or new features. It’s sharing how we’ve built the world, and preparing you for the upcoming Big Update.[/p][p]For those who love the lore, the exploration, and the feeling of seeing the pieces fall into place – this one’s for you.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]The Fracture and the Realignment[/h3][p]When the Abyss shattered into countless worlds, the flow of power fractured as well. What was once whole – Combat, Gathering, and Farm – split into three Echoes of Creation, each shaping their own fragment of reality.[/p][p]Now, every resource, creature, and biome belongs to a clearer path – so your journey unfolds in harmony with the lore itself.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]The Three World Branches[/h3][p]Each branch represents a different aspect of power and purpose.[/p][p]1. Endbringer (Combat) – where strength is forged through battle.[/p]

• [p]Worlds: Primorath, Zephyrion, Eclipsia[/p]

[p]2. Veinstalker (Gather) – where the pulse of the Abyss runs through stone and bone.[/p]

• [p]Worlds: Titanholm, Gravehollow, Infernum[/p]

[p]3. Verdant Warden (Farm) – where life, mutation, and nature’s will intertwine.[/p]

• [p]Worlds: Frostveil, Venomreach, Eldoria[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]The Three Arcs[/h3][p]Each Arc represents a deeper descent into the Abyss – and a higher tier of challenge, mastery, and understanding.[/p]

• [p]Arc I – Epic Tier: Primorath / Titanholm / Frostveil[/p]
• [p]Arc II – Legendary Tier: Zephyrion / Venomreach / Gravehollow[/p]
• [p]Arc III – Divine Tier: Infernum / Eldoria / Eclipsia[/p]

[p]Each Arc weaves together one world from each layer, creating a natural synergy between playstyles.[/p][p]The Gatherer’s forge empowers the Warrior’s blade. The Farmer’s harvest sustains long expeditions. And Exploration unites them all – guiding you toward the final world layer: Ancient Sanctum – Shinmetsu.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]The Path Forward[/h3][p]This isn’t just a balance update. It’s a rediscovery of what Abyss truly is – a living, broken world slowly remembering itself.[/p][p]Every swing of your blade, every crystal mined, every seed sown – all of it brings you closer to understanding the core of this universe.[/p][p]The Main Quest will evolve alongside this new foundation. Endbringer worlds will serve as the frontline of your story, while Veinstalker and Verdant Warden realms will support your growth – making the journey smoother, richer, and more meaningful.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]A Message from the Dev Team[/h3][p]So, prepare yourselves, Explorers. The worlds are aligning once more, and the stories of the Abyss are awakening…[/p][p]Thank you for walking this long road with us.[/p]

[p]Hello Abyss Explorers,[/p][p]This week, we’re finally showing you a glimpse of something truly… colossal.[/p][p]The Dreadjaw Summoning Ritual is ready – and his awakening will shake the very roots of the Abyss. 🔥[/p][p]But before we dive deeper, a little heart-to-heart.[/p][p][/p][p]We know some of you have been waiting patiently (and sometimes impatiently...) for the Big Update.[/p][p]Truth is… sales have been slow, and a few harsh reviews have affected us quite a bit.[/p][p]So yeah – we’ve been working part-time jobs by day and building Abyss by night to keep this dream alive.[/p][p]That’s why the Big Update might be delayed a bit, but don’t worry – it’s still coming.[/p][p]We just need a little more time.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you to everyone who’s still here – testing, supporting, and believing us.[/p][p]You’re the reason the Abyss still breathes. ❤️❤️❤️[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
