CHAMPIONS!

In preparation for THE BLACK LABYRINTH and the upcoming console ports of AMID EVIL, we've released a long overdue controller overhaul and reworked all the menu code in the game!

What does that mean? Well, all the game menus are now 100% controller compatible (no more mouse cursor) and we've also finally been STEAM DECK VERIFIED.





It works with both controller (Hold RB) and KB + M (Hold Q) - try it out!

• There's also a new auto-switch weapon pickup option
  
  
• A new and improved key bindings menu
  
  
• And we finally overhauled (basically re-wrote) the CODEX!
  (ENJOY THE LORE)

• Volumetric fog has been optimized, so you should get quite a few
  extra frames in maps that use it.
  
  
• Keys have VFX to help them stand out a bit more now.
  
  
• And the AEWARLOCK cheat now adds mana.

[[ Plus also lots of other behind-the-scenes stuff in preparation for [b]The Black Labyrinth[/b] launch ]]

Speaking of THE BLACK LABYRINTH...

Which we can now confirm will launch as a standalone app on Steam that will support nearly every VR headset on the market.

But more on all that... SOON™

(so you'll know as soon as it comes out)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got some questions? Here are some answers!

When will The Black Labyrinth be released?

Sometime in 2022

How much will it cost?

Probably $9.99 USD

What's it all about?

Before the being you know of was a CHAMPION... they were only a wanderer. Seeking vengeance for their desolated lands and people. Hearing tales of an AXE than can grant otherworldly abilities and make one a CHAMPION... they set out in search of... THE BLACK LABYRINTH.

How long is it?

Currently 10 large levels and about 2-3 hours give or take how slow you go bro.
Is this standalone or do I need AMID EVIL to play it?

You need AMID EVIL to play The Black Labyrinth but they will launch from within the same app.

Will there be new realms?



yes

New enemies?



Yes.

New music by Andrew Hulshult?



OBVIOUSLY.

New weapons?




OH HELL YEAH.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We hope you're as excited to get your FISTS on the Black Labyrinth as we are to finish making it for you.

We'll see you in 2022, wanderers....

CHAMPIONS!

We've upgraded AMID EVIL to Unreal Engine 4.27 which brings more general optimizations, Ray Tracing optimizations, more general stability as well as the ability for us to add AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and the latest version of Nvidia DLSS. Both of which make playing AMID EVIL with ray tracing at high framerates possible for champions of all PC build sizes!

Speaking of DLSS and FSR... we've also added sharpening! Forget about that blur...



This will make everything SHARP.



How sharp?! SUPER SHARP.



So try the improved NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR... TODAY.

(We Love You and We Hate Money)

Oh, and now that this stuff is out of the way we can continue our work on the full AMID EVIL PREQUEL EXPANSION...
