Combining a powerful twin-turbo V-6 engine and an all-electric power train, the 2023 McLaren Artura is a car that goes beyond hyper.

McLaren’s competitor in the hybrid category pushes its engineering to the limit, using the 671-horsepower provided by its electric & gas system to give the Artura a 0-100 time of 2.6 seconds.

An amazing engine is not quite enough to make the Artura the performance car it is today. To give it the boost that takes it to hyper car level (and maybe a little more), the Artura was built with the the brand-new Carbon Lightweight Architecture.

Unlock this new hybrid warrior with 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist from March 28 until April 4.

The time has come to sharpen your swords and ready your shields as Sons of Valhalla prepares to release on April 5th.

In this blend of side-scrolling action and base-building strategy, you will step into the boots of Thorald Olavson. Driven by the desire for vengeance against a formidable Jarl, your journey will take you across the sea to England and into the heart of enemy territories.



Victory, however, demands more than bravery in battle. It calls for the construction of unassailable fortresses, the management of a thriving economy, and the unwavering loyalty of a warband forged in the fires of your ambition. From creating resource-generating structures to fortifying your villages against enemy retaliation, every decision shapes the path to reclaiming what is rightfully yours.


But the road to retribution is not one you must walk alone. Join our Discord server today to find fellow warriors, share strategies, and forge alliances that could turn the tide of war in your favor. Together, we will lay siege to our enemies' strongholds, command our troops in the heat of battle, and write our sagas in the annals of Valhalla.

Thank you everyone for all of the support so far!

Bar Breaker has been out for less than a day, and I've already been able to use some feedback to improve the experience.

It seems the most common negative feedback of the game is that is has just been too short.

I don't believe this has actually been due to lack of content - in this game that's the abilities - but more of a balancing issue. Things just costed too little, the bar didn't have quite enough health, and the final battle didn't have much substance.

This version addresses these 3 issues and provides a bit more of a journey through the skills vs a bit of an unlock fest as it was before.

I did my best to ensure that it didn't overwhelm with costs either. More testing and feedback will help tighten the progress through the skills up more.

• The cost of skills has been increased, and the cost curve has been adjusted so that skills now make you work a little harder as you move deeper in.
  
• Mastery Level gives a bit less of a discount now so that there is still some work involved to further purchase new skills.
  
• The Dark Entity has been given significantly more health and its healing orbs have been adjusted to match this new health level.

Now that balancing has begun, the core of the game will improve; however there are those who have already unlocked all of the skills...and simply balancing the game isn't enough to provide an improved experience for them.

This has led me to wanting to begin on the next set of content for the game.

I have a bit more to consider before jumping in, but the current plan is to expand on the skills more adding in a new element and abilities and status effects to go with it. I would also like to bring in the ability to purchase upgrades for the skills - leveling them up - which would alter their appearance a bit, and increase their damage.

Adding in more skills and more power must then be given a purpose, so the health bar will gain stacks of health that must be depleted each level before the bar breaks.

How exactly everything will fit together in the end is currently up in the air, but once I figure out how to best implement them and extend the gameplay experience I will release more information.

The DLC will include the entirety of the Violet Ocean and the Serpent King's Domain in Ankon-Konu, south from the main land in the base game. This adds a lot of new uncharted islands and treacherous waters, a whole new continent to explore, 32 new objectives, 47 new encounters, 110 new items, bumping the word count to the whopping 400 000, and more!

Ankon-Konu is a Rank 7+ end-game area, solving complex quests, culminating in one big event, that can prove quite challenging even for the seasoned adventurer. It completes the series, adapting all the printed books to this date, and makes for a rich and vivid world.

All you need to do is:

1. Already own Fabled Lands on Steam.
   
2. Join Prime Games' official Discord server.
   
3. Direct message me (@ringlas) on Discord for short instructions and a small questionnaire.

Access will be given when the BETA build goes live.

If you don't own the game but you still want in, don't worry! Several keys of the full game will be awarded at random through a raffle towards the end of next week. Just don't forget to do steps 2 and 3.


This week, on the official Facebook fan group, Samuel Larsson dropped a custom character sheet he made for the pen'n'paper books, and it's bloody awesome! It's pure old school magic, and hits right where it matters. Thanks to Samuel and I'm sharing this with you folks too:

Thank you to everyone who supported us by testing the beta and sending us feedback :)

Now you can enjoy friendly matches online, offering two different ways to interact with other players:
1) Matchmaking: Search and play against any available player looking for a game.
2) Friend Invites: Directly challenge a friend on Steam to a match.

In the main menu, select the 'Casual Online' option. This screen presents several options:

• Find Opponent: This option matches you with another player looking for a game, facilitating an online match.
  
• Invite Friend: Use this to invite a friend from your Steam friends list to play. Once you select a friend and send the invitation, they can join the game by accepting it.
  
• Team Selection: Before starting a match search, choose your team here.
  
• Sides and Controller Settings: These familiar options allow you to specify which side of the court you'll play on and adjust your control settings and preferences.

We want to reward everyone who helps us grow our player base by seeking matches online, and to that end, we've created the World Champions Cup as a way of thanking you!
A very special trophy, contested by national teams from countries that have been world champions. Representing each country will be the latest team to achieve this feat, with their original lineup.
In addition, for this tournament, we've also created a new stadium and a variant of the Global Cup... and of course, a new achievement for those who manage to win it!
We hope you like the idea as much as we do :)

- We've rebalanced the teams in the D league of Career Mode to make it more accessible.
- We've also adjusted "Test Team" to reduce its aggressiveness in marking.
- Finally, we have fixed small bugs and minor details.


In this new stage, we need everyone's contribution to increase the user base and enhance matchmaking possibilities... It`s time to challenge your friends!

Thank you for joining us on this journey! We hope you enjoy this new adventure as much as we enjoyed creating it :)
