Anniv 4.3b Update and the future of Light Bearers

Hey Everyone!


We're bringing you a small update today along with a survey that will help us move into working on the sequel to Light Bearers.


  • Fixed a few typos in the Shadowpedia
  • Fixed a bug that caused anomaly to appear in nox's place in the Shadowpedia
  • Adjusted lighting in fallen temple
  • Adjusted lighting in black ramparts


During April 2020 we made shadows available to everyone because it felt like we were on the brink of an economic recession. We've kept it that way up until now, moving forward we have reverted back to having a handful of shadows unlocked. However a change we are making is, as long as one player in the lobby has the DLC. It will unlock for all players in the lobby.

If you have about 10 minutes, please fill out this survey. We will be using it as a compass for the way we approach design on Light Bearers 2. Also make sure to either follow Light Bearers here on steam, twitter or in our discord.

Light Bearers 4 Year Anniversary Update

Hey Everyone!




Happy Light Bearers Anniversary! 4 Years ago, we launched a game that we were super proud of, but it was missing just a little something. We committed to two solid years of post launch development (The game is dramatically improved over its launch counterpart) working with our community (the ones that talk to us) to bring in awesome features and quality of life changes. After that period of time we then shifted our focus to our new game. we have been working on an update for Light Bearers on and off since that time and are happy to release it to you all now. The focus on this update was optimization but we did include some community request as well.

Without further ado


  • Added Direct X 12 support, most of our users should be able to do this but we kept in Direct X 11 for those that cannot. This brings with it some framerate improvements.

  • Added DLSS support for Raytracing compatible cards, this will further improve performance for anyone running the game on the highest settings.

  • Added a framerate cap option, this is a widely asked for feature and we've added it. I don't have a clean way of initializing it so it will say 30 as the first option(this is not the real value), but once you have set it, it will save the proper value.

  • Upgraded to a newer version of the Steam SDK which allows us to fully utilize Steam's infrastructure, for those of you that have played on the Beta branch, you will have seen the huge network performance gained from this.

  • Optimized some of the maps for better performance.

  • Added a custom level option, for when you hide your level.

  • Added a random option for shadow selection

  • Added a new Shadow that was requested from the community, the Anomaly. He was built for competitive players and was a mirror of the shadow bears.

  • We did some minor balancing of the shadows.

  • We also fixed some bugs, but it's been so long I'm not even sure what's real anymore. If you do run into a bug, please let us know on our Discord.

  • I'm sure there are other features I'm forgetting to mention here, but we're excited to have brought you all the performance boost that will come from this update.
