Grim Dawn’s most comprehensive free update ever is coming November 16th!



V1.2 is dense with new features, mechanics, and quality of life improvements that have been on top of your wishlists. You can look forward to improved leveling, better difficulty skips, new accessibility features, a dedicated evade ability, and much much more! V1.2 is, without a doubt, our labor of love update that will usher in the next era of Grim Dawn before Fangs of Asterkarn is released in 2024!

Could go on and on about the mountain of changes, but it’s best if you see them for yourselves. The full changelog is up on the forum.

It is no secret that some members of our fine corner of the internet go above and beyond, writing guides, recording videos, answering questions, and creating free content for you to enjoy.



Going forward, all of our games will feature a Community Highlights page where the best community resources will be given the attention they deserve. It is the least we could do for the pillars of our gaming community. Check them out!

Building upon the foundation of v1.2’s massive changes (now in public playtesting!), we are proud to announce that Grim Dawn will be receiving a third expansion: Fangs of Asterkarn!



In this latest massive installment of Grim Dawn, you will journey West into the rugged wilderness of Asterkarn and contend with the mighty Kurn. Discover the dark legacy that continues to haunt these nomadic people and again drives them East, towards renewed conflict.




How much will the expansion cost?
Fangs of Asterkarn is another major addition to Grim Dawn and will be priced comparatively to past expansions.

When is the expansion coming?
The expansion is expected to release in 2024, but you never know when we end up doing MOAR than initially promised.

Will there be new masteries?
Fangs of Asterkarn features a transformative 10th Mastery. Become a frenzied force of destruction upon the battlefield capable of shapeshifting into vicious beastlike forms. The new Berserker mastery brings the total number of mastery combinations to an astounding 45!

Will there be a new chapter of the story?
Fangs of Asterkarn is another huge addition to the world of Grim Dawn. You will trek across the glorious snowy peaks of Asterkarn, delve into frozen caverns, and explore ancient forest valleys and breathtaking hot springs as you seek to purge the corruption tainting this idyllic landscape. Parlay with the Kurn tribes and aid them in rekindling old alliances as you contend with the darker side of their bloody history.

Will there be an increased Level cap?
Fangs of Asterkarn does not increase the level cap. Your characters will gain additional power through quest rewards and potion customization.

Will there be an increased Devotion cap?
Fangs of Asterkarn is not increasing the devotion cap. One does not simply contend with the will of the gods!

What are some of the new features coming with the expansion?
Fangs of Asterkarn is touching upon nearly every aspect of the game to enrich your experience and give you ever more options when building your characters:

• Conquer the Ascendant Game Mode - turn the campaign world into a challenge worthy of ascendant demigods, with every dungeon and boss encounter sure to test your limits.
  
• Potion Customization - alter your potions to suit your playstyle. Turn them into powerful tonics that restore your character’s vitality, or have them provide powerful unique buffs and effects.
  
• Affix Transmutation - reroll your rare and magic items to perfect your equipment.
  
• Crucible Expanded - delve deeper into the Crucible’s challenges with thirty additional waves (requires the Crucible DLC).
  
• The Shattered Realm Grows - discover new regions and boss arenas being slowly consumed within the Shattered Realm’s unstable infinity.
  
• Discover Hundreds of New Items - a veritable vault of treasures awaits you with hundreds of new Monster Infrequents, Epic items, and unique Legendary items!
  
• Awaken Epic Items - unleash the true potential of many Epic items to turn them into powerful implements worthy of Legends!
  
• Tackle New Foes - test your mettle against new super bosses and additional Nemesis bosses for old factions. Five new hero monster archetypes populate the entirety of Cairn alongside older additions.
  
• Two New Rogue-Like Dungeons - two new roguelike dungeons will be introduced with free content updates for the Fangs of Asterkarn expansion.

Are you excited for more Grim Dawn? We will be hosting a Twitch livestream on Tuesday, August 29th, at 1PM EDT (5PM GMT).
