After an initial review of the latest Playtest feedback, we can share our development plans for Q4! There is a lot to do, and some of these are stretch goals, but we want to aim high.
Difficulty Rebalancing/Improvements:
- Improve spawn rate balancing for ‘Normal’ difficulty
- Review/Improve ‘Casual’, ‘Hard’ and ‘Horde Mode’ modifiers
- Improve ‘Permadeath’ end-run flow
Control Improvements:
- First phase of rebindable controls
- Update the default configuration of a few important actions
Multiplayer Enhancements:
- Support more than 4-players max
- Support simultaneous split-screen + online multiplayer
Art/Biome Improvements:
- Update swamp biome vegetation
- Add labyrinth biome dressing
- Review/Improve vegetation sprites
- Add growth stages for more vegetation types
New World Bosses:
- No spoilers, so watch this space ;)
Big Demo Update (Release date TBD):
- Add online multiplayer support
- Add journey shrines, features and improvements from the Playtest
- Refine Demo map layout
- Note: We are working on the Demo update in Q4, but it might not be released until later
Delverium Release Date:
A lot of people have asked about the Release Date of Delverium. Unfortunately there is still a lot of content/features to add and we want to make sure Delverium meets player expectations, so the Release Date is getting pushed back slightly to Q2 2026 (exact date TBD). I hope everyone understands and we will do our best to run additional Playtests in the meantime to help evaluate upcoming features and content.
Thank you for your support and we really look forward to sharing more of Delverium with you.
