Wayfinders,
We wanted to give a quick update on the rest of 2024!
We realize it has taken longer than anticipated to get the Xbox version of the game out and we appreciate your patience! Our goal is for the game, along with the Critical Role Supporter Pack, to be available by end of the year. We’re excited to welcome Wayfinders on the Xbox Series X|S, who will be playing with Wayfinders across the other platforms and when we have a release date, we’ll share it.
As 2024 winds down, we’re preparing another major update that brings some highly requested features from players. The 1.1 update, expected in December, will include:
- Save Slots
- Nightmare Difficulty & exclusive cosmetic rewards
- New collectible items from our previous holiday event
- New artifacts
- Bug fixes, and other improvements.
Nightmare is a new difficulty setting even tougher than Heroic, and with it introduces one of the most requested features: rewards for completing ultimate challenges at the highest difficulty level! These rewards persist across all save slots once they’re unlocked in Nightmare mode, applying to both existing and new save files.
The challenges offer rewards like dyes, personas, and housing items that grant crafting resources like Spectra and Archaic Bones, along with memory fragments and gold. Over 35 new items are available for those who complete all challenges, including a special reward for those who complete every challenge.
Nightmare Difficulty is only available when starting a New Game and cannot be changed once selected. However, it comes with enhanced drops, including empowered versions of all existing artifacts and three new artifacts exclusive to Nightmare difficulty. The ultimate min/maxer’s challenge awaits!
We’ve previously announced mods coming before the end of the year. With our timeline and focus on these other platforms and features, mods won’t be coming before the end of the year. We’ll share more details about the 1.1 update in the coming weeks! Keep an eye on our social channels for sneak peeks of these exciting new features.
