Sacred 2 Remaster News

Dear Heroes of Ancaria!

We are happy to announce that we just released a significant patch for all platforms, addressing most of the stability issues and crashes that occurred since the release. It unfortunately took us a bit longer than expected to provide this update, since most of the stability issues were caused by memory leaks, hidden deep in the 20 year old, T-Energy infected legacy code - truly our greatest foe throughout the entire development.

We also want to take this opportunity to apologize for the bumpy start and hope that with this new patch you are able to enjoy the remaster without any bigger interruptions. Thank you so much for reporting bugs and providing feedback throughout all the different channels!

Alongside implementing the stability fixes, we’ve also tried to include additional updates to gameplay, usability and the general experience where we could.

We hope you enjoy this update!
See you in Ancaria!
