Major update: Stage 3, the Mask-Maker, and a full visual overhaul

On Steam

This is the biggest update since launch. The expedition now has three stages, and almost everything you see has been rebuilt.

Stage 3: the Sunken Mask City

  • After the Sky Sanctum, cross the rift into a drowned city of masks: eight more areas, 24 in total.
  • A new final boss waits in the Mask Foundry: the Mask-Maker.
  • Clear the final stage to see a new showcase of the three heroes before the results.

Rebuilt heroes and enemies

  • Lumi, Bram and Nox have new models, new masks and new motion-captured animations.
  • Lumi now wears a porcelain half mask.
  • Every enemy, from the riftlings to the Swarm Heart and the Rift Warden, has been remade as a cracked-mask rift creature.

Combat and presentation

  • New hit effects and camera kick on impact.
  • A redesigned combat HUD on PC and Mac.
  • New sculpted arenas for Stage 1 and the Sky Sanctum.

Fixes and changes

  • Once every blessing is maxed out, the blessing choice is skipped instead of showing an empty panel. Solo players heal the party by 25% instead.
  • Online co-op: everyone in the party needs this update to play together.
  • Leaderboard: a full clear now means reaching the end of Stage 3. Earlier full clears now show as reaching Stage 3.

Thanks for playing! Please share bugs and ideas in the Steam discussions.
