Hello Everyone,

We've pushed a small hotfix live to the Invasion Mode, read on for more details and a general guide to Invasion Mode.

Hotfix Notes
  • Nodes now correctly unlock for all players in multiplayer.
  • A node finished at a specific Rank now also unlock the same node on inferior Ranks, and progress isn't lost when changing Rank.
  • Fixed some texts.

Invasion Mode Guide
We wanted to take a moment to offer a more in-depth explanation as to how the Invasion Mode works.

Each node represents a level with predetermined modifiers, a difficulty and a level of Chaos Corruption. The in-game difficulty level does not affect Invasion missions.

When you play Invasion, you can choose it's "Rank". The higher it is, the more resistant enemies will be (+5% per rank), hit harder (+5% damage per rank) and your chances at finding better quality items will increase (+10% Loot Quality per Rank).

Each Invasion mission has a percentage of Chaos Corruption, this represented the life that your character loses each second. You can reduce this by unlocking certain nodes on the Invasion tree.

In multiplayer, we use the invasion card of the player who starts a mission. Progression will be saved for other players if they have access to this mission on their tree. A warning message will display if you do not meet the requirements for your progress to be recorded.

Completed missions at higher Ranks will automatically unlock the same nodes at lower ranks. For example, if you unlock a mission at Rank 5, it will also be available for ranks 1-4. However, it will not be available for Ranks 6 and above. You can change rank at any time without losing your progress at your current rank.

When you clear a Rank completely (100%) you unlock the next 10 ranks. So for example, if you clear Rank 7, you will unlock Ranks 8 to 18. At first you only have access to Ranks 1 to 10.

What's the highest Rank you will clear completely? In the next update this Rank will be displayed on your character icon in Multiplayer.


Note: Relic Hunt mode, with its bonus to item quality, remains the best way to farm higher quality items (T4 Red and T5 Green). If a node is too difficult, perhaps you should gear up in Relic Hunt mode.

Following the introduction of the Invasion Mode patch yesterday, we've made some small tweaks to game-play based on some reported issues and player feedback.

Patch 1.03
  • Gems / gold are no longer needed to unlock God Skill tree nodes (players can respec and refill character trees freely).
  • In addition to in-game menu, an executable "ResolutionsOptions.exe" has been added in the "Exe" directory to change the resolution outside the game if needed.
  • Some skills were listed which were not supposed to be here, they have been removed.
  • Fixed a bug that made the Wood Elf almost invincible.
  • Fixed some inaccurate tooltips.
  • Controls options will once again remain saved correctly.
  • You should now be able to join an online game from the main menu with a character that has finished the story.
  • The Keeper Of Secrets pools no longer continue to damage you once they’re dead.
  • Modifiers on some Invasion nodes have been changed.
  • The general difficulty level should stay the same after playing an Invasion mission.


PLEASE NOTE: We're aware of the issues with node unlocks in co-operative games for the Invasion Mode, we're currently working on a fix and hope to have it live as soon as possible.

We wanted to update you all on our post-launch plans. We’ve got two exciting additional expansions planned for Warhammer: Chaosbane, a NEW hero class, and a NEW zone coming post-launch. Best of all, these will be FREE additions to the game.

We’ll reveal more about the new hero class in the future. This character will launch alongside a new zone, one focused primarily on expanding the endgame; expect new enemies, new gear, and another part of the Old World to explore. We are working on an updated roadmap that will include these new additions, we’ll share this in a future update.

Next week we will release the first post-launch patch. This includes the new endgame mode, Invasion (which you can read more about here). A unique experience with its own rules, gear, and mechanics. The team has tireless to provide this new endgame offering, and we can’t wait for you to jump in and experience the Corruption yourselves. This patch also includes a number of bug fixes, balance changes, and community request additions, so make sure you check it out.

We’re focused on improving the overall Chaosbane experience, squashing bugs, addressing community feedback and adding new content to the game. Our goal is to provide fans of the Warhammer universe and Hack and Slash experts alike with an experience that meets their expectations.

Please Note: These free additions to the game have not changed our plans for the season pass content, which will see our heroes venture into the realms of the Tomb Kings.

Howdy Everyone,

Wanted to get back to you with some information about what's been going on, and our planned updates + patch notes for next week. Keep in mind, these aren't final, some things may change, but they should serve to give a general idea of what you can expect.

NEW GAME MODE - INVASION

An Invasion map is played out on randomly generated levels from specific acts, Boss Fights or Arena battles with waves of enemies. Each Invasion tree node may be modified by some alterations, depending on the dark god they’re related to (poison for Nurgle, Magic Shields for Tzeentch as examples).

During this time, you’ll also be fighting against Corruption. This manifests as a life draining effect that players will have to endure. Each map has a corruption value, which becomes increasingly harsher the further a player moves away from the origin of the Invasion node trees. At the end of each invasion tree branch, you unlock powerful rewards that are exclusive to this mode, including: new skills, new heroic jewels and new potion effects.

The difficulty of Invasion is also defined by its Rank. Finishing an Invasion at a specific Rank will unlock higher Ranks and tougher Invasions. Try to find new rarity objects to become stronger and aim to complete the highest Rank possible. Invasion will release with the next patch.

Patch Notes
PLEASE NOTE: These are not final, but should give a general idea of what you can expect!

Features:
  • Adding stages 11 through 20 for the collector’s guild.
  • Adding an option to display loot permanently.
  • Adding two new difficulty levels, Chaos 6 and Chaos 7.
Balancing:
  • Rebalancing a number of boss encounters throughout the game.
  • Damage over time effects (poison, bleeding, etc) will no longer kill players. If a player is very low on health, DOT effects will not bring them to below 1HP.
Technical Updates:
  • Option added to activate or deactivate Depth of Field
  • Option added to activate or deactivate temporal anti-aliasing.
  • Option added to activate or deactivate MLAA.
  • Option added to activate or deactivate volumetric lighting
Bug Fixes

Version 1.0 of Warhammer: Chaosbane is live. It’s been an intense experience and a lot of hard work. Thank you to everyone who's been playing, and for all the feedback, both positive and negative.

We’ve got a lot of data to sort through. Regardless of how much preparation you do, the first few days of launch dwarf any preparation that is done prior. We’re reading through the forums, Reddit, Social Media, Discord and bug reporting form in order to centralize your feedback. So we can break it into action points and come back to you with our next steps.

The Bigben team is answering the community as much as possible, and they’ll be working with us to ensure you’re kept up to date about our next steps. For us at Eko, we’ve got some bugs to squash and will be spending our time and energy on improving the game.

We have a series of plans to support, extend and improve Chaosbane. We won’t be able to solve everything in one day, but we’re dedicated to ensuring that we're moving in the right direction.

We should have the first update next week, with an update description later this week. Bigger updates will require a little more time, especially since we’re working within a license we love, but one that needs to be respected.

We’ve got some exciting things. So stay tuned, and once again thank you for your feedback and support.

Chaos will be defeated!
Eko Software team.

Hello everyone,

As we've launched Warhammer: Chaosbane you might have a few questions about the game and its features. We've compiled a series of questions and answer that you could have.

Please note that this F.A.Q is not final and is subject to changes in the coming days.

Thank you!

What type of game is Warhammer: Chaosbane?

Warhammer: Chaosbane is a topdown (isometric ARPG) set in the Warhammer Fantasy Battles Universe. Take up arms as one of four classes and battle the forces of Chaos with up to four players (in local and online co-op).

What is the content of the Season Pass?

The season pass contains four pieces of post-launch content designed to enrich and expand your experience with Warhammer: Chaosbane.

Season Pass - 4 Pieces of Post-Launch DLC Content
  • Cosmetic Pets
  • Cosmetic Emotes
  • An alternative God Skill Tree for each character (new passive and active abilities, new ways to build your character, by making offerings to a new god).
  • Entire new act to the game (new location, new enemies, new story - unrelated to the main campaign).

Please Note: Development of the season pass content will occur after the release of Warhammer: Chaosbane, with updates releasing at a varied pace post-launch.

https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791463482849/announcements/detail/3239689462654607631

You can find out more about the Season Pass + the free Post-launch content in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiVTb8WQYUw

What end game content is available?

There are a variety of endgame modes available in Warhammer: Chaosbane. We have a video explaining some of the end game content here (link), and we’ve done a more in-depth write up about these in a post here: https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791463482849/announcements/detail/3239689462654607631

What post-launch support will there be? How often the game will be updated?

There will be regular updates to the game, sometimes minor bug fixes or balance changes, and sometimes for the addition of some of the new content outlined in our post-launch video.

How many classes are available in Chaosbane?

There are four classes available in Warhammer: Chaosbane:

Konrad Vollen, the Empire Soldier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAiwYgrSsyU&t
Elontir, the High Elf Mage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwLJ_VQgEbM
Bragi Axebiter, the Dwarf Slayer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNjXBJfT-xg
Elessa, the Wood Elf Waywatcher
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUC1jTQJ2kM


What content is there regarding Gear in the end game? How do builds work in the game?

Each class has ‘Heroic’ armor sets, set completion provides specific bonuses which enhance particular skills, and God Tree abilities. Additionally, there are a lot of ‘Heroic’ weapons which provide specific bonuses which you can exploit in combat.

You can gear can be ‘Blessed’ to provide certain stat buffs that will fit into your unique playstyle (cooldown reduction, critical hit %, armor, additional damage, etc.). We’ve orientated our abilities, God Skill tree, and equipment to work in supporting your way of playing the game.

What you do with this, is something we’re eager to see!

Does Chaosbane have multiplayer?
Chaosbane is playable in up to four player local/online co-op. As an example, you could be playing with 3 random people online, or a friend on the same screen and then you meet two other people playing together on the same screen.

Does the game requires an always-on internet connection?

No, an always-on internet connection is not required to play Warhammer: Chaosbane.

How many players can play on the same screen?

The game is playable with up to four players on the same screen. Using either 4 controllers, or 3 controllers and mouse + keyboard controls. You can configure keys, or assign controllers via the “controls” menu in the “options” settings.

Do we need to party up to play this game or is it enjoyable alone?

We find the game enjoyable both solo or in a group. If you prefer to take on the forces of Chaos alone, you’ll have just as much fun as those playing in a group.

How do I change the screen resolution?

Open the pause menu with the “esc” key, go to the “Options” menu and from there you will find the screen resolution options in the “Graphics Options” menu.

Does this game support other screen ratios than the classic 16:9?

From our tests, the game is playable in most resolutions.

Which Gamepads are supported?

If your controller is correctly configured and works with Steam, then it should work with Warhammer: Chaosbane. We have confirmed support for the PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Pro Switch controllers.

Is the game playable with mouse & keyboard or only gamepad?

The game is playable with both methods of control, depending on your personal preference. You can assign controllers by going to the “Controls” menu in the “Options” menu.

Does the game support trading cards & badges?

Yes, both of these Steam features are supported by Warhammer: Chaosbane.

How to send feedbacks/suggestions?

Here’s a link to a Google Form where you can leave your feedback or suggestions.

Additionally, the Steam forum, Community Discord, Twitter and Facebook are all great places to leave you feedback about Warhammer: Chaosbane.

How to report bugs/crashes?

In case of a bug, please follow the steps outlined by the Crash Report. If you’re able to send us your crash report, it will go a long way in order for us to highlight and fix these issues. Crash reports can be sent to support@ekosystem.com

Is the game server based?

No, the game does not require an internet connection to be played. The online elements of the game use Steam matchmaking and players are directly connected via peer to peer.

What graphics options are available?

Open the pause menu with the “esc” key, then you can go into the ‘Options’ menu and then the ‘Graphics Option’ menu.

Can we cheat the game?

Do you want Magnus to cleanse your account?

Where are the saves stored?

Saved games are stored locally, but also backed up via Steam cloud saving.

Do you support 4K?

Yes, Chaosbane can be enjoyed in 4K resolution.

Is this game “only” a console port?

Chaosbane was developed with multiple platforms in mind. As an example, the interfaces on PC and console are different from one another. Additionally, the game has been optimized for both controller and mouse + keyboard controls, depending on your personal preference.

Do you plan to add new classes?

At this time, we don’t have anything to announce regarding the addition of new classes to Chaosbane. Our current plans for post-launch are outlined in the post-launch and end game video.


WASD movement?

WASD movement is not supported in Chaosbane. PC controls are designed around using the mouse for character movement.

Are there any microtransactions?

There are no microtransactions in the game, not at launch nor in the future.

How is working the loot in multiplayer (local and online)?

During online play, you’ll only see your loot on the ground. In local co-op, all gear is shown, but it’s automatically sorted into the inventory of the intended character, regardless of who picks it up.
Warhammer: Chaosbane - Nacon
Just wanted to give a little more clarity for what you can expect from the end-game and some of our plans for post-launch with Chaosbane. We're still working on a video which will go into a little more detail about these systems (looking to have that out next week), so I can't go into full detail, though I'll try and collate everything that we've been talking about and sharing over the last few weeks.

Season Pass - 4 Pieces of Post-Launch DLC Content
  • Cosmetic Pets
  • Cosmetic Emotes
  • An alternative God Skill Tree for each character (new passive and active abilities, new ways to build your character, by making offerings to a new god).
  • Entire new act to the game (new location, new enemies, new story - unrelated to the main campaign).

I can't say where you'll be going (I'd love to), but if Chaosbane is about fighting ALL of the forces of Chaos, you might be surprised to know that the last act will be about not fighting the forces of Chaos.

Please Note: The season pass content is not currently in development. We'll be working on it after the release of Warhammer: Chaosbane. Currently our focus is on final polish ahead of our release in a couple of weeks.

Non-Season Pass Updates
We'll also have some updates planned for all players, so additions like the inclusion of a hardcore (permadeath) mode. New additional levels of difficulty. The inclusion of a post-level cap leveling system (which will come after launch). We also have plans to add additional heroic sets to the game, which you'll need to tackle the additional difficulty levels that will also be added to the game (and some of the modes we're about to mention).

End-Game Modes
  • Boss Rush

Boss Rush Mode allows you to farm out certain types of gear by aiming to take on the bosses you've previously defeated.

  • Expedition Mode

Expedition Mode allows you to traverse a number of randomly generated maps, collecting the fragments you'll need to power up your gear. You'll also come across a number of random events that increase your chances at rewards, but may make things more difficult.

  • Relic Hunt Mode

Relic Hunt is our 3rd end game mode, with large loot and fragment rewards, but a number of conditions that really add a challenging edge to your explorations. So, for a few examples:

  • Random poison zones across the map
  • You lose health as soon as you stop moving
  • Every time a hero uses a potion, his maximum health decreases permanently in the dungeon
  • Every time a hero takes damage, his armor decreases permanently in the dungeon.
  • When enemies life bars are low, they gain a few seconds invincibility.

Relic maps are purchased with in game gold, and come at a pretty hefty price. So make sure to bring your A game: https://twitter.com/WHChaosbane/status/1127257065750032385

Gear Augmentation + God Skills + Gear

Throughout your adventure, you're collecting fragments from defeating the creatures of Chaos. These are used to both make offering to your patron gods, choosing powerful active and passive skills that suit your playstyle.

However, these are also used to boost the power of your gear. Combinations of different fragments provide different effects, as does combining these fragments. We posted a photo about it here: https://twitter.com/WHChaosbane/status/1124340067311525888

Certain items have special effects too, for example in our Boss Rush image you could see that the mage is using a staff that raises a wall of flame around the character: https://twitter.com/WHChaosbane/status/1126169895710883841
