This is the largest update so far, with new main quest progression! More content including the Arena, new enemies, weapons, spells, and new maps to explore for the waking world, dreamrealm and now limbo. There is also a large branch in the main quest, which will completely change the main quest experience depending on certain dialogue choices.
Two more boss battles:
There are a total of 6 boss battles so far. Three more are planned for the full release.
The new ones include:
Shoja Yun, the False Nightmare, part of the main story when siding with Akumu. Voice acting by Charles Lobaugh.
Digital Princess Aziza, part of the main story when siding against Akumu. Voice acting by Liv Ravenshaw.
You can still fight these bosses when picking the alternate story path.
New Waking World locations:
Arkngnulal Ruins, a massive main quest dungeon.
Redaynia Falls, a semi-hidden map with new loot.
Swamp Pits, a new map with CBT enemy design, to be expanded upon in future updates.
Inner Holy City area to explore. (Only if you side with the Holy Order.)
Isles of Lyra now has a new small dungeon connecting to the Swamp Pits.
Ruins of Mortis, with new higher level enemies.
And for the other realms:
The third Dreamrealm map: Twilight Fortress. This map is far larger than the previous two.
Voidlands revisited with a new dungeon.
Several branching Dreamrealm maps.
Several new Limbo maps. (Some only available if you side with Akumu.)
New Arena battles at the Holy City:
Challenge previously encountered bosses and view their loot chance table at the arena. Each fight requires an Arena token, which is a finite resource at the moment. In a future update there will be new ways to get these.
Also in this update:
New achievements.
New weapons and spells to find.
You can now reset attribute points at the scholar in the Holy City.
Willpower now also increases magic projectile speed.
Massive increase to life and mana for each stat point.
Spell reworks: voidshard now does damage upon visiting the 3rd Dreamrealm, cube summons in a fixed position.
New voice acting lines for Xori and Crookstaff by Habi Machlab.
Rare Dreamcatcher item to be found throughout hidden areas of the world, can be used to wake up at the closest camp or safe spot. Does not work in boss fights.
New lever to open the main gate at the Architect's Castle.
More character model updates.
Reworked Oculus and Aethervore pathfinding and damage output.
Ice beam to certain Whispering Glade Raptors.
New beach trinkets to find, uses to be expanded in future updates.
Updates to side quests.
Fixed a bug where holding a power attack and activating an item would prevent it from being picked up afterwards.
Many other small additions and bug fixes.
There are also two large updates planned like this one before the game will near the 1.0 release, and likely other small updates as well along the way. One large update will finish the main story, and another will expand upon new maps and side content.
The next planned update will be small, but very exciting. Coming next month in January!
