The Rakta Update, coming October 7th

All events Players around this date Read on Steam

Hello mates, The Baron here! I have good news to share that The Rakta Update will be available for PCVR on October 7th.

This will be update 1 of 4 free "Byeth Updates", bringing canonized weapons and armour from the extended Blade & Sorcery lore into the base game.

The Warpfrog team are closing in on a final build, though the guys are still trying to iron out the last of the bugs in the update. However, nothing critical has appeared so far, so the team are feeling confident enough to set a date for release.

Rakta Armour

I mentioned last time that by this news we should have the Rakta armour completed so that I can share a preview, and indeed I can!

This armour will be available to purchase at The Baron's Bounty in Crystal Hunt, or you can access it freely in Sandbox mode.

We also have a special Rakta wave so that you can fight enemies wearing this armour in Sandbox mode.

Achievements testing

You might notice some strange activity on Steam in the next few days, where it will appear as though the game has achievements available even though the update hasn't dropped.

This is just the team testing the achievements on a live (unreleased) build, so just ignore that for now. All of the achievements will be hidden while they are being tested, but I would advise against using any cheat unlockers to unlock them early, because I believe that will irreversibly spoil them for yourself when they actually become available.

That's it for now folks, just a small news today!

There is no exact time of day set for the release, but more than likely it would be later in the day GMT.

Cheers!

The plugin we use for modio is now considered legacy and is no longer supported by modio, causing a variety of issues. We need to update this plugin, but unfortunately it is not a simple swapout and is actually a lot of coding work. We are working on this right now, but until then, this hotfix wi…Game update28 Jul 2026Khar-Tib 1.3.1 releasedHello mates, Baron here with a small bugfix patch from the Blade & Sorcery team! Though the main goal here was bugfixing and optimization, there were some additional little goodies that squeezed in nonetheless. Notably, a small feature was added where larger weapons can now stagger enemies through shield (and weapon) blocks if they are hit with enough impact, better representing the transfer of…Major update6 Jul 2026The Khar-Tib Update is now available!Hello mates, Baron here! Update 1.3 is now released and this is number 3 of 4 in the series of free Byeth Updates, with the goal being to canonize some of the extended lore of Blade & Sorcery through additional content and maps. But of course it wouldn't be a Warpfrog release if I wasn't able to tell you that as per usual, the update completely derailed off plan and in a typical pattern of self…
