Festive Frenzy Hits Hexworks’ RPG
HEXWORKS, a studio under CI Games, just dropped the bomb with their latest update in Lords of the Fallen – the ‘Season of Revelry’. Gamers, get ready to dive into a two-part free update, starting with the ‘Offerings of Orius’ and gearing up for the ‘Trial of the Three Spirits’ on December 21st. This update ain’t just a regular one – it’s packed with new quests, armor sets, weapons, spells, and you guessed it, snowball fights!
Magic and Mayhem: New Spells and Projectiles
‘Offerings of Orius’ is already live, and it’s bringing the heat with six fresh spells like Immolation and Radiant Shield Throw. But that’s not all – you’ve also got new projectiles to play around with. Blood Vomit, Explosive Mines, and Frost Worms are all up for grabs, letting you take down your enemies from a distance.
Boss Weapon Abilities: Up Your Game
After the community went wild for boss weapon abilities, HEXWORKS has added more to the mix. Now, every boss weapon comes with its unique ability – think flames bouncing off with the Abbess’s Greatsword or a flurry of burning blades with the Father of Misery’s Greathammer. But there’s a catch – you’ve got to complete secret tasks first.
Deck the Halls: Seasonal Decor Hits Mournstead
Get into the festive spirit as the Vestiges of Mournstead get decked out in holiday decorations. It’s all about celebrating the ‘Season of Revelry’ in style.
‘Trial of the Three Spirits’: Quests, Armor, Weapons
Mark your calendars for December 21st! ‘Trial of the Three Spirits’ will introduce three new questlines, each unlocking new armor sets and weapons representing the three gods – Orius, Adyr, and the mysterious Umbral. But be prepared for some tough challenges to bag these rewards.
Personalize Your Character
Responding to player requests, now you can change your character’s name, body shape, gender, skin tone, hair color, and more. Just complete a new quest to find the shards of the Mirror of Distortion.
New Grievous Attacks and Storage Box
Every weapon family now boasts two unique finishers, and players can stash up to 2,000 items in the Skyrest Bridge Coffer. Talk about inventory management!
Gamepad Rebind: Customize Your Controls
Players can now remap gamepad buttons, a feature that’s been available for mouse and keyboard since launch.
Snowball Fights: A Chilly Sur@prise
Get ready to pelt snowballs at enemies or invaders – a fun addition to this wintry update.
Looking Ahead: Lords of the Fallen in 2024
HEXWORKS isn’t stopping here. They’ve promised that updates will continue into 2024, following the content plan they announced last month. Expect more balancing in PvP and PvE, along with the rollout of the New Game Plus modifier system. This new system is set to revolutionize the New Game Plus experience, allowing players to tweak and set their journey like never before.
This latest update in Lords of the Fallen is more than just a content drop; it’s a whole new world of challenges and fun, blending the eerie with the festive. Get ready to cast new spells, fight with enhanced boss weapons, and yes, even engage in snowball fights! Lords of the Fallen’s ‘Season of Revelry’ is here to change the game, literally. Stay tuned for more updates as HEXWORKS continues to push the boundaries in 2024.
