HARROW
Harness the power of the Void to bolster allies’ defenses and amplify their lethality with Lotus’ newest Warrior, Harrow.

CHAINS OF HARROW
A disturbing transmission from Red Veil's spiritual medium leads to an abandoned Steel Meridian vessel adrift on the outskirts of Earth. Inside, strange whispers echo throughout the lifeless vessel. Emergency lights strobe to reveal the horrors of what happened inside. What force unleashed this evil and how can it be stopped?

The Chains of Harrow quest will appear in the Codex for those who have completed The War Within and unlocked Mot in the Void.

https://youtu.be/_geXnGjLSeg
DUAL-WIELD THROWN MELEE AND SECONDARY WEAPONS
Dual-wield any thrown Melee Weapon and a single-handed Secondary Weapon to destroy your enemies. Execute unique quick-melee combos and charged throws when dual-wielding for added damage.


EARTH REMASTERED
Experience Earth like never before with the beautifully remastered Earth Tileset. Clash with Grineer amidst luscious vegetation and envelope your Warframe in the naturalistic lighting and a remastered soundscape. Visit any of the Earth Terrain Missions to experience this stunning overhaul.



GRINEER CHEM STRIKE - NOX
This noxious new enemy is part of the Elite Chem Strike Unit. Nox wields a toxin-filled heavy gun that shoots blobs of toxic goo that attach themselves to targets before exploding. Take out these gruesome enemies by shooting their glass helmets and exposing their deteriorating skin. Beware of their final moments, as they explode into a lethal cloud.



MELEE RIVEN MODS
Expand your strength by equipping new Riven Mods for Melee Weapons -- but know that you must prove yourself before their powers are revealed. The chance for Riven Mods to drop in Sorties have increased from 20% to 25%.


KNELL
Ring the death knell. Headshots briefly turn this scoped pistol into a rapid-fire, Critical Damage fiend that uses no ammo.


SCOURGE
Blast targets with corrosive plasma projectiles, or toss the scepter to inflict nearby enemies with an energy field that amplifies their brain waves to attract bullets.


NAVE
Harrow’s signature Syandana.


ADDITIONAL UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS
· Evacuation Game Mode from ‘The Pacifism Defect” is back! It is now called Defection and drops Harrow Systems plus ‘Bane of Corrupted’ Mods.
· Exterminate Mission enemies will get tougher towards the end of the mission with special Mini-Bosses spawning as more enemies are killed.
· Reduced total Mobile Defense time from 6 mins to 4 mins in the highest difficulty areas with enemies getting tougher with each console defended. Added more consoles to the Grineer Shipyard and Asteroid tilesets to increase the chance of playing in unique tiles.
· Secondary Shotguns have received buffs! Secondary Weapons and some Primary Weapons have been revisited with changes in Damage, Crit Chance, Mastery Rank and other stats.
· Updated the Relic Pack opening UI to display possible rewards from each Relic and added the ability to search Relic contents in the Codex.
· The Limbo Theorem Excavation missions will now guarantee one of the Blueprints at the end of 3 extractors as an End of Mission reward.
· Multiplayer Simulacrum is here!
· Improved visibility of indicator in Grineer hacking puzzles.

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to let you know that we're into the last straightaway of Sundered's production, which means we've mapped out all the key dates leading up to the launch date of the game, which we've officially set for [just kidding!].

(Sorry folks - no spoilers! You're going to have to wait just a little while longer before we reveal our launch date!)

For today, we just wanted to thank all our Beta testers once again for participating in Sundered's Closed Beta! We invite you all to keep on fighting through the Beta caverns to your hearts' content, and keep being so generous with your feedback on the Steam forums . But keep in mind that all good things must end, and that access to the Closed Beta will officially end on July 12th.

In other words, all active pre-release Sundered Steam codes (Alpha or Beta) will no longer be functional after that date, in preparation for the launch code rollout.

Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!

We're the pick of the week in their series "Steam's Hidden Gems"!

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/06/28/best-new-steam-releases-jun-2017/

Here's the relevant bit:

A lovely fusion of roguelike and card game. Puts me a little in mind of the excellent Dream Quest, although the cardboard infusion is in this case poker rather than Magic the Gathering. Damage dealt – and, later, type of attack – is defined by cards in your hand as well as by your hero’s level and gear. So, a couple of doubles will amp up your strike massively, while a royal flush probably means a one-hit kill. Actual poker knowledge not required – you’re going to pick up the handful of card combos very quickly, and instead focus your concentration on the most strategic way to take down enemies of escalating difficulty.

It gets more tactical as the game wears on – for instance, you end up unlocking buffs when specific cards are used, such as a heal on 8 or gold on 3 – and between missions you can upgrade a central hub to further amp up what your deck does. Really well put-together, and an effortless entanglement of genres in an age where roguelikebut is starting to get a bit over-used. I like this a lot.

And at the end of the article:

This week’s pick of the week is….

Huh, no clear winner this time, actually. I guess I’ll go with We Slay Monsters, seeing as it’s a well done, poppy roguelike remix that called me back several times, but I must admit that Chimpology tickled me pink too.
