PATCH 0.4.0 - EGO ARRIVES
The Citadel hides many secrets… and today, one of its most twisted floors finally opens.
We’re incredibly excited to finally introduce Ego, a brand new floor focused on reflections, illusions and dangerous interactions. This update also includes a large amount of balance changes, quality of life improvements, boss adjustments, new dialogs, new Relic names, an end-of-run recap and many fixes across the entire game.
As always, thank you so much to everyone playing Deified, sharing feedback, reporting bugs and supporting the project during Early Access. Your feedback continues to shape the game every day.
