Hello!

We're working on our next ARPG project, Dragonkin: The Banished. This new ARPG Hackn'Slash is being developed on a new engine, with new heroes, new skills, new equipment and a unique development system called the Ancestral Grid that lets you alter your skills with fragments that drop while playing.

We're going into Early Access on March 6th and would love to see you there! We know how passionate the ARPG community is, and want to get as much feedback from our players as possible. Early Access also gives us the opportunity to invest further into the project, possibly altering or expanding the scope of our plans for Dragonkin: The Banished.




We're going to be sharing more information about Dragonkin: The Banished in the run-up to Early Access and would love to have you along for the ride. If you'd like to join us, then...

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for your feedback on the Slayer Edition update for Chaosbane, we understand this brought a few unexpected issues, these should have been resolved with the patch we're putting out today. If you're still experiencing issues, then please leave a post in the forums.

• Witch Hunter skill 'Castigate' now generates energy correctly
  
• Witch Hunter weapon name fixed (FR Localization)
  
• Witch Hunter voice over synchronization has been fixed
  
• Widescreen Resolution crashes have been fixed
  
• Trophies only unlocking for host in MP now correctly unlock for all players.
  Trophies that should have been unlocked due to the bug above should be automatically unlocked at next launch of the save file.

With the release of the Witch Hunter and the Slayer Edition of Warhammer: Chaosbane, we've seen years of updates bring new end-game content, new heroes to play as, new zones to explore, and new stories to experience.

We're a small team, and we started Chaosbane with a goal. We wanted to build an action RPG set in a world we love, designed to be played with friends. It would mean the world to us if you'd consider voting for Chaosbane in the Steam Awards under the 'Labor of Love' category.

See you soon, heroes!
