The WorldShare update is out now, our most requested feature from players!
This update is our biggest step toward 1.0 yet, with balance and progression changes that make stats, loot, and gear matter more.
If you’ve been waiting to jump in, here’s what this update means:
Share your world and let friends play even when you’re offline
Builds are stronger and more meaningful (stats, scaling changes)
Combat is faster, clearer, and more impactful
Enemy, boss, and world updates
You can now share your world with friends, allowing them to jump in and play with your progress, gear, and homestead.
When players join your world, you’ll be able to invite them to share your save. Decide you want to log off, but they want to play? They can automatically open your save and keep going.
You can share saves with up to 15 people, and we’re very curious what happens when that many players start jumping in and out of the same world. It’s time to hand your save to your friends and hope they don’t ruin it.
Accessories now level up through duplicates, adding even more progression to your loadout. Primary stats now grant secondary bonuses, increasing the impact of every stat point. An Armor slot has been added, and Max Hearts has been increased, expanding your build options.
Plunge attacks are faster and deal more consistent damage. New enchants, including Rejuvenating Bolts and Blaze of Glory, add additional build variety while improved damage calculations across weapons and skills so upgrades scale more reliably. Large projectile interactions have been adjusted to prevent unintended multi-hit damage.
Enemies can now drop heart pickups for team healing. Player stats, tooltips, and overall UI clarity have been expanded. Performance improvements have been made on Odin Shell. This update also includes new cosmetics for Bjorn and two updated boss models!
A lot of this update comes directly from your feedback!
Tutorial signs can now be removed after being read, reducing clutter as you progress. Grobb Shieldbearers have been reworked for more consistent behavior (and also to not be annoying), and several combat bugs, instant death cases, and some frustrating puzzle interactions have been fixed.
Jump in, try WorldShare with your crew, and let us know how it feels - we’re actively watching feedback and iterating quickly.
Please note: Expeditions arrive later this week, bringing repeatable challenges and new rewards to chase!
Note: 💬 indicates a change inspired by community feedback. If you’ve got an idea, let us know, it might end up in the game!
What’s New
💬 WorldShare Beta
You can now share your worlds with your friends!
Invite up to 15 other players to share your world save, and become a host of up to 10 saves
Invited players will be able to open the world save and continue playing when you aren’t online
In this first version, you will only be able to enable WorldShare when creating a new World. Our plan is to let you convert existing worlds to WorldShare saves as soon as we make sure things are stable, stay tuned for a future update
Existing saves can now be WorldShares!
💬 You can now “remove” tutorial signs after reading them for the first time (outside Cloudheim’s tutorial)
New cosmetic styles for Bjorn - Duke, Protagonist, Isekai, and Hero
Major update to the skylines of the islands
Many enemy types have relocated to islands and environments where they are more comfortable
💬 Significant improvements to counterplay with the Grobb Shieldbearer and Smallshot enemies
New models for two bosses: Divine God-King Braul and King Graaah
Combat Improvements and Bug fixes
Added “Rejuvenating Bolts” enchant that upgrades Thunder Spear, healing the caster for ¼ heart every time it pulses on an attached enemy
Added “Blaze of Glory” enchant that upgrades Pile Driver, ending the ability with an area effect burst that burns enemies and launches them into the air
Added Beacon of Thunder sword available in Myrkstorm near Fan of Daggers
💬 Grobb Shieldbearer Improvements
Made shieldbearer blocking impulses more consistent. Shield blocked impulses will now play the blocked impulse effect when blocked
Reduced turnspeed from 215 to 80 degrees
Fixed several issues around the Grobb taking damage when the shield was meant to absorb it
Shield health reduced from 55% of Grobb total health to 25%
Made launching enemies into the shield do significantly more damage. Heavier enemies knocked into a shield will yield more damage. Enemies hit hard into shields will also do more damage to the shield
Fixed a bug where we were still listening for shield collision after its shield is broken
Solo players no longer automatically get power level scaling until level 100
This makes gear and skill upgrades have a much higher impact, because the scaling was replacing the need to build your character and use better weapons
This change does not affect level 100+ because there are still missing mechanics to make sure you can grow at higher levels
This does not affect coop yet
💬 Weapon Shrines updated so that the text matches what the weapons do
Weapon innate enchants adjusted to have better upgrades and more consistent across different classes
Shrines now only list the added enchants on the weapons, not innate properties of those weapon classes
Increased the speed of Plunge Attacks by 30%
💬 Fixed several cases where you could die instantly by using specific combinations of skills in the right locations, such as plunging from a high height in a toxic dungeon while outside of a cleansing sphere
💬 Projectiles can now have an internal cooldown on how often they can hit an enemy. This heavily impacts using large projectiles against large enemies, which could repeatedly hit the enemy (4-8 times) and cause immense damage. This meant very large enemies like the Golden Hollow were easily defeated with large projectiles from bows and tomes
Increased Tome wave projectile armor damage 40%
Decreased Tome wave projectile health damage 15%
New water logged Tome VFX
💬 Enemies can now drop heart pickups that heal your team - hearts cannot be picked up if everyone is full health
Minor but broad balance changes to enemy stats
💬 Reduced the rate and accuracy of lightning strikes across all difficulties
Improved Thunder Spear damage attribution and physics object interactions
Improved weapon and skill damage calculations so they work better with different buffs
Increased the height of Wind Wave projectiles so it's a bit easier to hit with them, particularly using a bow on a gamepad
Fixed aerial damage calculation interaction between character attack level and height bonus, making downward aerial attacks more reliable
This greatly increases plunge damage at high level, but reduces ground pound damage in some high elevation scenarios
Increased Ground Pound base damage by 20%
Quarry Guardian improvements
Fixed a bug causing the Quarry Guardian’s damage indicators to be improperly scaled
Fixed a bug causing the Quarry Guardian’s damage indicators to appear on safe areas of the arena
Fixed a bug causing the Quarry Guardian to die early unexpectedly
💬 Smallshot improvements
Fixed a bug causing Smallshot to scale damage improperly, killing the player instantly in some instances
Smallshot’s laser beam tracking now stops slightly earlier (giving you more time to avoid being hit)
Smallshot’s laser beam attack now has a shorter hitbox that better matches the visuals, so you don’t take damage when you thought you were safe
Progression Improvements and Bug fixes
Accessories now increase stats as they level from acquiring duplicates
Increased Max Hearts by 20
Added Armor slot to loadout
Armor will be added to the loot pool shortly
Armor is not visible on your character
New “Dwarven Pickaxe” base upgrade
Increases ore drop rate from rocks
Starting ore rate greatly reduced
Rocks now always drop some stardust
Maximum level 6

Plants now always drop some gold
Maximum level 6
New “Gibbit, Beacon of Power” base upgrade
Increases skill damage by 5% per level
Maximum level 25
💬 New “Proof of Absurdity” base upgrade. You shouldn’t buy it
💬 Added “Mana Regeneration Crystal” base upgrade
Unlocks at homestead level 3 and shop level 8
Drastically increases mana regeneration rates while on Odin Shell
Primary Stats now have secondary stat bonuses, up to a maximum of 100 points of the primary stat
Magic increases Skill Damage and Max Mana
Speed increases Weapon Damage and Critical Hit Chance
Strength increases Impulse Strength (which influences Impulse Damage) and Critical Hit Damage Level
Vigor increases Mana Regen and Health
Megingjörð max level increased by 10
Harvesting now gives a small amount of XP
Defeated enemies now show XP in world
Reduced the XP penalty for defeating enemies below you from 12.5% to 10% per level
Increased the XP bonus for defeating enemies above you from 12.5% to 15% per level
Changed how Cosmetic Trust is earned so it is more consistent across play styles and different modes
Critical Hit Chance above 100% can now stack additional levels of crit, multiplying the effect of Critical Hit Damage Level (maximum 5x)
💬 Added some of the Fishing for Tomes event results to normal fishing
Improved fishing interaction with combat
Equinox event world eggs are now available when offering golden fruit to Odin Shell
User Interface Improvements and Bug fixes
Equipment Loadout slots now show icons specific to the slot type when empty
Moved the Class Trait slot from Gear to Accessories
Each major island now has a unique loading screen
💬 Fixed Breaker level 52 Incinerating Beam not showing the rarity upgrade banner
💬 Gnasher now shows his level on his sign
💬 Numerous UI fixes to Chinese localization
Experimental Polish Translation
💬 Fixed an issue in how the system language was presented in the settings screen, which could have been misconstrued as additional languages being supported when they aren’t
💬 Fixed several dialog typos from NPCs on Odin Shell
💬 Fixed some text during the tutorial that wasn’t being translated
Improved the styling on the Call to Action button
Added support for levels to optionally have map data that shows up when the map is opened, even if they aren’t part of the main world map

Bubbles thrown by Water Grobbs now refresh jumps when bounced on
Buried treasure now refunds a lasso charge when pulled
A small usability pass on fishing spots to (hopefully) improve overall experience (more are in progress)
