Hey everyone!
Today we're releasing Hunters Gonna Hunt, our 9th Early Access update!
This one is all about giving you more reasons to venture back into the Vortex, explore every corner of each biome, and chase down rewards!
Whether you're hunting down specific memonites, finally completing your collection, tracking down rare enemies, or simply looking for your next broken build… we’ve got you! Yup, we've completely reworked progression to make every expedition feel more rewarding 👀
As always, here's a quick video walkthrough from the team and… an actual infographic recap (look at us go, pure innovation):
As the title says, the progression system has received a major overhaul!
You'll now find clearer objectives, dedicated reward pools per difficulty level, improved tracking tools, and brand-new ways to target the unlocks you're looking for.
meaning you can stop complaining about that one blueprint you could never find. We see you. <3 Happy hunting!
What's an update without new toys to break our game balance? Introducing:
5 brand-new Trinkets
30 new Gifts
Including pet companions (!!!!!), Ethereal Blade upgrades, Dash Trail effects…
and many new build possibilities - plenty reasons to leave behind that one build you swore you'd stick with! (looking at you, Echo Build fans 👀)
We've also added Yua's Support, a new optional accessibility feature for solo players.
When enabled, it gently reduces incoming damage and dynamically adapts to how much the Vortex is kicking your butt. It smoothes out the roughest edges so you can catch your breath, but don't worry… the game will still make you work for that victory!
Alongside the headline additions, we've packed in a whole bunch of extras:
New Obsidian enemy variants in higher difficulties
Steam Cloud support (yes, finally, stop yelling at us)
New Spanish LATAM localization
Gifts can now have multiple rare affixes!
Multiplayer improvements
UI and quality-of-life upgrades
Performance improvements
Bug fixes
Apples can finally be stored in your Backpack 🍎 (you're so welcome)
Chaton Laser killed it once again with the update’s key art!
Sharing is caring, and we do care a lot - here's a fresh piece of artwork to carry a piece of Windblown on your desktop or mobile to be downloaded here.
As always, thank you for playing, sharing feedback, breaking our balance, and somehow finding bugs we didn't know existed. If you are looking for the full patchnotes, you can find them here:
