Developer Update & Upcoming Release!
It's been a long long time since we've had an official developer update, so let's get you caught up!
We Are Content Complete
We've been content complete for a few months now, this means the game has all the content in it, and is in the final stages of bug squashing and polish readying up for release later this year!
Bosses
Please welcome our newest bosses!
Necromata
Necromata, a winged monstrosity of demonic proportions brings her flames of fiery rage to battle you.
Lithos
Lithos harnesses the power of elements and magic, allowing him to cast a large variety of spells using his grimoire to change the elements of his attacks.
OriKara
OriKara represents the combination of the Icy Queen Kara and the Molten King Ori who will challenge you with their opposing elements to destroy you.
And there's one more epic battle for you to fight, but that's for you to discover in your own journey through Ashmyr!
Story
We've had the wonderful opportunity to work together with Reece Bridger to bring all of the characters in Bound by Blades to life with hints of compelling backstories, and a thrilling tale of adventure. And each playable character of the Bound has their own personality they bring into conversations now!
Every NPC brings with them their own unique story, so make sure to talk with them between battles!
Here's a few of the new characters you'll meet in the castle of Fangsfate!
Garoth
The general of the Bound, leading and training warriors in the city of Fangsfate!
Rothma
The Enchantress, wielding her power of being a Myrthos to connect to her ancestry and enchant your gear with powerful buffs!
Oryss
The one in charge of Fangsfate, ensuring protection of the inhabitants and welcoming any new arrivals!
Other Cool Stuff
So much stuff has been updated, here's some more to check out!
Updated Character Select
Now you can see the armor of each of your characters and freely swap between them in the selection screen!
Localization
With the help of our publisher, Assemble Entertainment we can confirm localization has been added into Bound by Blades, and we'll soon announce the languages supported! Here's a clip with just a few implemented so far!
Set Bonuses
This one is definitely one of the most exciting features we've added, every boss has their own unique set bonuses and they get pretty wild! Equipping 2 pieces gets you a small bonus, and equipping all 5 gets you a major bonus!
Pets Pets Pets
We've included the new evolutions of pets, along with being able to have 4 of them, and pet missions where you can send them out to return with materials!
The End Game Systems
The end game systems bring upon the Tower, which is 25 challenging levels of bosses, where you fight either a single powerful foe or several in a row! And the Endless Dungeon, where you fight waves of increasingly powerful monsters with rewards after each wave you clear! But to reach these, you'll need to get past the story bosses and their daunting Ex variations with altered abilities!
Multiplayer Lobby System
We've worked on updating the multiplayer menus and built out the lobby system so you can now search through rooms or create your own room name, make it public for anyone or hidden for just your friend to join!
