Hello everyone!

Today we would like to give you an update about the overall progression of the game. Although part of the team is currently working on the next Content Patch Wrath of Sarisel, the other part is still working on the environments and creatures that will be available on release.

We’ve made a small selection of some of the work we’ve been doing and that you have not seen yet. Visual spoilers ahead!



Our team is currently working on the last pieces of Act II and started working on the first pieces of Act III about a month ago. Without specification about when or how you’ll come to explore these environments, here are a few unfriendly places that you will explore during your adventure.















With the Beta we’ve implemented 4 of the 7 armor tiers that will be available at the release of the game.
It's time we introduce you with Tier 5 and Tier 6!



Heavy



Bruiser



Rogue



Sorcerer





Heavy



Bruiser



Rogue



Sorcerer





Just like the male character, the female character has been totally remade from scratch, which is why they are not currently available in-game.

We still have work to do in terms of animation, and some more armor adaptations before they’re available again especially for unique items, but our great 3D team has finished adapting all the armor basic tiers for the female model!





We want Wolcen to offer a lot of various enemies. Lately, we’ve expanded the “Fauna” archetype to populate areas such as deserts and forests, by adding scorpions, hornets, scarabs, snakes and more. They will be shared in time, meanwhile, you can discover some other creatures that you’ll be able to fight in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem.









We hope you liked what you saw, see you soon for more information about the development of the game, and thank you for your continued support!

Hello everyone!

In last week’s announcement, we gave you the global content planned for the next Content Patch, including “5 new skills and their dedicated modifiers”. Today, we will introduce 2 of these new skills. There is still work to do on our side before they’re final, but you can already have a glimpse on their aspect and their mechanics.

But first...



We’re happy to inform you that this highly anticipated improvement is progressing well, and we plan to make its first version live with the next Content Patch. Developing and tweaking such a system takes time and requires testing in the field, but even if it will be the first version, it will already reduce drastically the feeling of clunkiness in the game.

You can already see the difference it will make with Consuming Embers:





And here is another example with Havoc Orb:







We’re introducing this new skill with the next content patch. It will allow you to drop a turret on the ground targeting the direction your character is facing, or carry the turret yourself and use it as a channeled attack if you hold the skill. You need to carry a pistol, a bow, or a dagger to use it.
‘Avenger’ Autoturret comes with several modifiers to improve its efficiency, damage, targeting, or even allow you to make it explode.



Here are some of the modifiers linked to that skill that we can presently show you.

Additional cannon

Double the fun by adding an additional cannon to your turret.



“Shotgun” effect

Add some AOE effect to your turret at close range.



Automatic targeting

Let the turret automatically track your targets and kite them like a boss.





This new skill will allow you to charge to and through your enemies with a primordial shield. It will require a shield equipped to work.
Its modifiers will allow you to improve its speed, make it a channeled skill, add various types of damage to it such as a wave at the end of the charge or trails, or even grant you some protection by destroying projectiles thrown at you while you’re using it.



Here are some of the modifiers linked to that skill that we can presently show you.

Channeled Warpath

Take control of the direction while you use the skill and use it for a longer duration, as long as you have available rage.



Warpath trails

Leave a trail of damaging areas behind you. The fire effect here is a temporary one, this variant might not be adding fire trails when Wrath of Sarisel goes live.



We hope that you appreciate these new skills and changes brought with the next Content Patch. Stay tuned, because we will share more of these in the upcoming weeks, as we approach the release of Wrath of Sarisel.

Thank you for your support!

Hello everyone!

Today we’re happy to introduce the next Content Patch called Wrath of Sarisel and give you some general information on what it will contain.



Lore spoiler
Sarisel is one of the last three Primordials, known as the Primordial of Purity. Yudaï mentions him as “the insane one” during his conversation with Mizzeonth in the Primordial Superstructure.

While he might be one of the last entities that demons and Fallens alike fear in secret, his extreme zeal prohibits all nuances in the choice of his targets. Unfortunately, the mysterious powers that your character acquired led Sarisel to brand you as impure, since humans are not meant to possess this kind of powers.

To fulfill his vision and cleanse you from this world, Sarisel sent his faithful and deadly halfbreed assassins after you. It’s just a matter of time before they find you.



The Sarisel challenge will be integrated as a dungeon alteration in the Soldier of Fortune game mode (Expeditions).

It is designed to be challenging and requires a real cooperative effort and strategy in Multiplayer, but it can also be activated in solo (although it is not recommended). Therefore, new systems will be implemented to allow such interactions, like the aggro system.

This new challenge will contain gameplay changes to make it unique and rewarding, and we will give you more details about these in future news posts:

• New death rules
  
• New looting rules
  
• Rewards based on various parameters (such as kill count, boss ranks, overall drop rates...)
  
• Unique item affixes that can only be obtained in this challenge
  
• Victory screen with individual and group stats

Along with this new challenge, Wrath of Sarisel Content Patch will also include:

• 5 new skills and their associated 40 modifiers for melee and ranged characters, including the return of Whirlwind
  
• A new balancing review
  
• Altars
  
• New unique items
  
• First version of the animation cancel for skills to improve gameplay fluidity and reduce the clunkiness feeling
  
• Improvements for the ailments system
  
• Improvements for loading times
  
• Bug fixes, of course
  
• And more…

As we move forward with the development of this content patch, we will keep you updated about all these improvements brought with Wrath of Sarisel, introduce you to the new skills and their various modifiers, and possible additions that we are yet unsure to implement with this content patch, but would really love to make available again to you.



Although Content Patch 2 was internally planned for the month of July, the delays from Content Patch 1 have led us to push this new update at a later date.
We will keep you informed on the specific release date for Wrath of Sarisel in September.

Thank you for your continued support, and thank you for all the feedback you have yet provided following the last Content Patch. We’ll always keep an eye on your thoughts so continue to share them and report issues you encounter in-game, it helps us a lot :)

Hello everyone!

We know that you’ve been waiting for more content for a while now, and everyone here worked a LOT to make it happen as soon as possible. Today we’re very happy to announce that the Content Patch 1 is live!

The build is currently being uploaded on Steam and it should be available in the next few hours.

Wolcen’s Act I will offer you at least 4 hours of story and ends on an epic multi-phase boss fight. We’re very proud of the work accomplished during these last few months and even though it came with a delay, we really hope that you will enjoy this content as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.

In case you missed it, you can read the complete Patch note here, containing all the latest additions and bug fixing.

We also wanted to inform you that we’re now starting to approach professional localization companies to handle the localization of the game in Spanish, German, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese. Wolcen Studio will still handle the French localization. If we feel that there is a high demand from the community, we will consider other languages but so far this is the base languages we plan to add.
We will let you know when these languages are available, in the meantime, you should expect a French and German translation for Content Patch 1, and the Russian translation is also in progress. These 3 languages will be regularly updated with hotfixes.

We want to thank all the members of our Community who have contributed by providing translations for the game so far: CoTTo, Destiny, Alk0zAuruS, lostprophet.hu, ldtime, Yelje, vatjjar, Rindow, Nishtec, herm, and so many more I failed to mention (don’t hesitate to bump me - Calistaen - on Discord in that case). You helped us, and you helped our community to grow, and we’re really really grateful for that.

Finally, be aware that there are still some bugs although nothing should now prevent you from completing the game with your characters. We’re aware of these issues and we will fix them in the upcoming hotfixes.

But let’s not keep you waiting any longer because you’ve also been expecting a trailer for this update. It’s a brand new dawn for Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem and we’re all very excited to hear your feedback about this major update.

Hello everyone!

I have some new elements to share with you about improvements brought with Content Patch 1.



In case you missed it on our Twitter, here is the new World Map for Act I, where you will live your adventure. Each area has a small lore description. One is omniscient and will tell you who you will fight, another is a quote with a perspective, so you can learn a little more about this region and its secrets.







We’ve changed the icons on the Active Skills Modifier to dissociate major and minor modifiers. We’ve also added some additional information on the skills.





We’ve improved the settings menu to have more space for different additions and provide you with a more clear interface. This is what it will look like, keep in mind that we didn’t add all the options yet, more will be added in the future:









We finally have 8 new uniques coming with this patch. Like the Gameplay Beta uniques, they will have a levelling and a high-level version. Here are some of the new uniques that you will be able to loot. The values still have to be tweaked and are not yet representative of what you will have ingame:









Thank you for following us and for your support!

Hello everyone,

Just a quick news to keep you updated as promised. Following our last testing on Content Patch 1, we have decided to postpone its release to June 26, 2019. We still have very important bugs to fix and we want to address these issues before releasing the game.

Considering the bad reviews on the Gameplay Beta, we also want this new content to be as polished as possible so you can have a good experience. That is why we need a bit more time to make it right for everyone.

Of course, we will continue to share information about Content Patch 1 in the next days.

Thank you for your understanding.
