The year 2024 was undoubtedly one of the most transformative and challenging years in the history of Relic Hunters Legend.

With many challenges overcome, bold changes, and the invaluable support of our community, we continued building the game of our dreams. Here’s a complete retrospective of the achievements and key moments we experienced this year:

[h2]February: Treasure Maps Public Playtest[/h2]



We kicked off the year by testing the new Treasure Maps feature with a public playtest.

This event also included item balance updates, unique icons, and new Relics, which were critical for gathering community feedback. The suggestions we received helped fine-tune the experience before the official feature launch.

[h2]March: Panzer Joins the Team & Treasure Maps Patch[/h2]



March saw the arrival of Panzer, the Relic Hunters' mascot, with her unique skill set.

We also released the Treasure Maps, which included adjustments based on playtest feedback, and introduced a new faction: The Cartographers, who help players explore treasure maps.

[h2]May: Offline Mode Debuts[/h2]



Responding to community requests, we began rolling out Offline Mode. Major changes were made to the game’s story progression, allowing players to advance at their own pace without unnecessary restrictions. The campaign’s beginning was reworked, shortening its length and adjusting early Rebel Rank chapters for better accessibility.

We also introduced a new way to unlock Hunters using Hunter Tokens, implemented a revamped character selection screen, and reworked the way to acquire Kindness currency and Ascendant keys, which are now purchasable in the Stranger Shop.



[h2]June: New Horizons[/h2]

We announced our separation from the publisher—a challenging but necessary step to reaffirm our creative vision. Thanks to the community’s support, we overcame industry challenges and continued shaping Relic Hunters Legend’s future with more freedom and focus.



[h2]August: Transition to Premium & Local Saves[/h2]

We revealed the game’s transition from Free-to-Play to a premium model priced at $20 at launch. This decision also allowed us to remove the online-only requirement. Progress is now saved locally with Steam Cloud Save support. Additionally, we introduced save slots for up to five accounts per device, supporting progress both offline and online.

The Patch 0.11 delivered the first implementations of announced improvements:

• New Steam Achievements: 18 retroactive achievements, with two reserved for the 1.0 launch.

We ended the year with the Patch 0.13, which included:

• Grandpa Chronos Workshop: A Crafting system for modding items, upgrading item tier and rarity, allowing for more personalized builds.
  
• Challenge Mode: High-difficulty missions with T4 materials as rewards, 10 new Major Challenges and 8 new Set Affixes for unique playstyles.
  

This year, we also participated in several exciting events, including Gamescom LATAM, where Relic Hunters Legend was a finalist at the BIG Festival. We were honored to be part of the DEVGamm Awards, the ANIMAI Festival - Festival Baiano de Animação e Games, proudly taking home awards for Best Game, Best Audio, and Best Art. Oh, and let's not forget our prestigious participation at the TGAGWCAGA 2024—The Game Awards for Games Who Can't Afford the Game Awards!

None of this would have been possible without you, our community. In a year full of challenges, your patience, feedback, and support kept us going. We hope you’ll continue with us in 2025, enjoying the new content we’re preparing and helping us make Relic Hunters Legend even better.

[h2]🔥 Challenge Mode[/h2]



Put your skills to the test with Challenge Mode—a new way to play Missions with higher stakes and new rewards.

Activate Challenge Mode on any mission in the Broken Timeline to:

• Scale the mission to level 50 for maximum quality loot rolls.

This system eliminates the need to grind lower-level missions for high-level rewards and ensures every run feels worthwhile. It also includes:

[h3]⚔️ 10 New Major Challenges[/h3]

Challenge Mode Missions now feature exclusive Major Challenges to ramp up the difficulty and fun:

• Dry Bottles
• Decaying Field
• Min-Maxing
• Mark of Retribution
• Empire Strikes

[h3]🐞 Fixes & Improvements[/h3]

We’ve squashed bugs and tweaked mechanics to enhance your gameplay:

• Fixed bug that would cause Pinkyy to not become immune to Crowd Control during her Ultimate.
  
• Fixed bug that would cause Ace's Scoundrel to not be applied at all.

[h3]🔨 Weapon Rebalance Batch #1[/h3]
Our goal with this batch of weapon tweaks is to have more viable weapon choices in the endgame, with different damage profiles and feel. We felt Marksman Rifles were exceptionally weak, and both Auto Rifles and Beam Rifles were also subpar.

• Marksman Rifles: Precision Damage increased from 100% to 130% (30%)
  

Tier Adjustments

Several Legendary Weapons had different values between their T2, T3 and T4 versions. Most of them had a stronger T4 version. We've applied the T4 Stats to all other Tiers.

T4 Weapon Bases

• Starduster: Increased Base Damage from 19 to 24.
