At the Heart of Ruin DLC News

[h3]Hey everyone,[/h3]

Here at Lost Pilgrims Studios we are currently working hard on our At the Heart of Ruin DLC – which is swiftly and undeniably becoming another expansion – and, from the way things are looking, it is likely to come out later this year. We cannot give you an exact date for the time being, but rest assured, we’ve spent a great amount of time iterating upon, adding to, and generally enriching it with quality content and new gameplay mechanics to boot. In many ways, the content that you can expect to see will be different from anything we’ve ever created, though you can bet it’ll have intriguing lore and memorable characters, some returning, but most of them new.


By now, it is no secret that the majority of At the Heart of Ruin will take place in the Molten Kingdom, a harsh and unforgiving land that covers areas of the highly volatile Mountains of Fire that are still somewhat traversable. Those vagri who brave it shall have to rely on their wits, tenacity, and resourcefulness more than ever before. What lies beyond the lost kingdom’s fiery bounds is something we have alluded to in the expansion’s trailer.

As for who the figure in the trailer is, and indeed what it is he’s planning, you’ll have to wait and see; whatever the case, know that At the Heart of Ruin’s central narrative arc will urge players to go into one of the most perilous and completely unexplored lands of the Riven Realms.


As part of our ongoing enrichment of the expansion, we have shared some of the paintings our incredible art team has been working on, as well as abominable and terror-inducing creature art, too. Among the highlights are the Charred Shamblers who stalk the scorched earth with unfathomable tenacity. Then there are the abominable horrors that plague parts of Tahrar Barak (see image on the top). As for locations, they do not get any less deadly: the Skittering Reach characterizes Varnurud’s northernmost territories, and you can easily guess what lurks there.

Underground, there are subterranean magma rivers where the earth’s ichor threatens to devour any who dare delve into the deep, and elsewhere, there are countless other perils that would leave all but the most stoic of comitati shattered and broken. Will your fate be thus?


Finally, for those of you who prefer Vagrus on console, following the game’s console release on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, we have put together a news round up for your perusal.

And needless to say, there will be more and more as we draw closer to our newest expansion’s release. Stay vigilant and stay tuned: the wasteland is about to get a whole lot more dangerous and unpredictable!
