Mark the date, keepers of the Metaverse: we're happy to announce that Metaverse Keeper will be available on Steam next April 11th for $14.99 / €12.45! The Metaverse needs all of your joined forces, so for a limited time, the game will have a launch discount of -10%. Prepare to fight for the survival of space-time itself, alone or with friends (be it on the same couch or in different universes with online coop).

Today we have banned over 60 accounts who have been using Nvidia graphics-tweaking capabilities to gain an advantage in-game. We are completely confident that our detection method is reliable and does not provide false positives. While this isn't exactly using a cheat, it is still manipulating the game to gain and advantage. This is a breach of the User Agreement, portion 7.2.5.

The players who have been caught have been banned for 1 day (as a show of good faith on our part). However, anyone who uses it from this point on will receive an immediate 1 month suspension. Failing to adhere to our warning and subsequently trying to manipulate the game's graphics again will lead to a permanent and irrevocable ban from the game.

We thank you for your understanding.
Survarium Team.

"Throne, I'm ready for this."
- Captain Tarik Torgaddon.

Khârn reveals himself as a Traitor and seeks an old friend in the ruins of the Choral City. Meanwhile, Captain Tarik Torgaddon steps up to organise a resistance with the surviving Loyalists.

PS: This patch also fixes the situation in which Ricochet is played on a troop with 1 health and Survivor. It will now trigger the extra shot correctly, since the target hasn't died.

We've fixed the launch issue.

Lock and load!

As we’ve talked about a while ago, we’re overhauling how named items work and how they can be acquired. One way to get named items is by fighting champions – and that’s what we’re talking about today. Let’s delve in!

Hitherto, named items could primarily be found by looting locations – whether you followed tavern rumors or ventured out on your own. Occasionally, but rarely, they could also be looted from particularly strong enemies. And that’s where champions come in.

Champions are particularly skilled and experienced individuals of any non-beast faction. They’re guaranteed to carry at least one named item and have significantly increased stats over their brethren. You’ll be able to easily recognize them by their special base and unique name. They are, in a way, minibosses. They challenge you to fight hard to claim what is theirs, and they shake things up, but prevailing against them will always reward you with the named item they carry – be it weapon, shield, armor or helmet.



So where do you meet champions? The most reliable way is to complete contracts with a difficulty rating of three skulls. Those have always been a high risk proposition for any mercenary company, but they now come with more of a reward for taking that chance: the possibility of getting named gear by facing enemy champions. Another way is to simply play into the late game. The further along your campaign, the more likely that you’ll find champions roaming the world outside of contracts or defending a location.



While champions may prove challenging to defeat, they are significantly easier to beat than some of the battles around legendary locations. This way, they can also fill the gap in challenge between defeating your first late game crisis and starting to take on legendary locations, like the Black Monolith, with your company.
