Hey Warlocks,

Let's start 2025 with a banger of a patch for Project Warlock II. After the last round of fixes aimed to fix the sound issues, we realized that the source of the problem was hidden deep in the code. We made a decision to rewrite the monster audio code to address a number of sound issues that appeared after the Chapter 2 Rework. We've extensively tested the fix and everything seems to work correctly on our end. If you happen to still encounter audio issues of any kind, make sure to let us know.

We've also added some new sound effects that just feel right to be included, such as the sound effect for falling and a heartbeat when your HP is low.

Apart from the audio improvements, we're bringing some new visuals. We're happy with the reception of the new HUD, it's awesome. However, we made a last minute call before launching the Chapter 2 Rework to hold back with the updated Palmer portrait, as it needed some more time in the oven at that time.

With this patch, we're introducing a new mugshot for Palmer, as well as mugshot animations for both Palmer and Urd. The disciples will react to what is happening in the game, they will look around, get angry, happy, or... bloody.

We've also overhauled treasure items in both Chapters, for more visual variety.

Without further ado, here are the Patch Notes:

See you in the next one!
