Greetings, Wavecrashers!
This is the final major update before the game launches on September 25 this year.
Combat, balance, visuals, performance, stability, UI, onboarding, and overall game feel have all received improvements. Whether you are returning for another run or defending the Core for the first time, the game should now feel smoother, clearer, and more satisfying to play.
We don’t want to spoil everything that’s new, but let’s take a look at the major systems now available in the demo.
Take on increasingly difficult Tide levels, each introducing new challenges that push your strategies, builds, and teamwork further. As you climb through the Tides, you will face Ordeals -special difficulty modifiers that make each run more demanding. Their effects will force you to reconsider familiar strategies, adapt your builds, and find new ways to survive. Progress through the Tides to earn Talent Points and unlock more power for your heroes.
Develop each hero through the new Talent system. Talents modify abilities, strengthen different parts of a hero’s kit, and open up new ways to play. Each hero progresses through Tides individually, so mastering every hero will unlock even more possibilities.
Invest in permanent Perks to strengthen your account and shape your long-term progression. Experiment with different upgrades, adapt your strategy, and build toward the playstyle that suits you best.
This is our biggest demo update yet, and we’re excited for you to experience everything that has changed. Jump back into the game and explore what’s new!
A heartfelt thank you to all our playtesters and friends whose feedback, support, and encouragement helped make Wavecrashers a better game.
They march, we stand.
See you on the battlefield!
