Our ninth early access update called Dark Devotion is now available! Check out the highlights below, or scroll to the bottom for the patch notes.

We’re very excited to share this fifth element! You can now infuse your Spells with this Dark new element, which will allow you to corrupt enemies so they turn to your side. Oh, and you can also combine this element with the others, creating many new combos.

The Spell Brigade adds yet another Wizard! Bryony is a potion specialist/herb enthusiast, who is also half plant. Her signature Spell is called Vengeful Sprout, which grows giant plants that attack any enemy within range.

We have added a new enemy to each of the 3 Realms. The Verdant Meadows are being patrolled by hordes of ravenous Stampeders, the Frozen Ancients are being stalked by the eerie Frostroot and the Pyrestorm Pit is now home to many flocks of migrating Swarmlings.

Finally, we have added 5 brand new Relics, and we have also rebalanced/reworked some old ones. Each new Relic can be unlocked by completing the right Quest.

All this and many more fixes and improvements you can find in the patch notes below!
