| In-game event | New enhanced weapon abilities and revamp! With this update we are revamping the existing weapon abilities and we are adding enhanced versions of each ability that's unlockable in the passive tree. Weapon abilities are a core part of Darkblade Ascent's dynamic combat and keeping them locked behind a keystone in the passive tree meant that some players would unlock them much later in the game and thus not experiencing the full combat sys… | 19881453 | |

| In-game event | Balance Update - v0.922 Balance Update With this update we reduced the first stage difficulty. We noticed that quite a few players we're having difficulty progressing through the first few maps and thus not discovering all that the game has to offer.
