Build Release 17.12.2025 Announcement and Changelog

Welcome to the December build release!

Where do we begin.. The landscape is making good progress with the visual upgrade, we now have implemented the new landscape material with the new textures, terrain color blending with cliff and rock models, new rock materials and textures, new water body meshes and river-beds, and an updated, more detailed terrain mesh. We also updated Sky Village buildings and other parts of the world. Many quests have been improved based on your feedback, so we are looking forward to hearing how you find them now. We also added 4 new characters for you to play around with in the sandbox. Two imposing kerpali and two froggy Lizardmen. A tattoo system has been implemented for story mode and sandbox, as well, and in sandbox it even allows you to add your own custom-made tattoos.

Thanks to all the amazing feedback from you, we’ve taken a big step forward with our combat system for this December’s release. We’ve introduced Exhaust as a new shared resource: normal attacks, special attacks, dodges, blocks and parries now all affect not only your exhaust, but also your enemy’s. This creates a much more dynamic and less “static” combat flow, where managing openings and pressure matters a lot more than before.

To celebrate this rework we’re also preparing a combat competition with prizes  – more info on how to participate will be posted this Friday!
