I’m truly grateful for your presence within our extraordinary community. Your backing is priceless to us, and we can hardly contain our enthusiasm as we prepare to unveil the upcoming developments for Avowed.

In addition to today’s 1.4 release, we’re excited to reveal our strategic plan! This fresh visual offers a sneak peek at some of the content and enhancements expected in the upcoming phases of Avowed. We believe this will provide you with a better understanding of what we’re currently developing and what exciting features are on the horizon.

Moreover, we want to express our gratitude to our players based in Korea, Japan, and French-speaking areas. We understand the significance of playing a game in your native language, and we are diligently working on localized versions for Korean and Japanese, as well as continuous upgrades for French. Our goal is to deliver these updates promptly once they’re ready, and we truly value your understanding and backing as we ensure they meet the quality you expect.

Now, onto what’s available today…

Arachnophobia Mode Now Available!

Listeners within our community have made their preferences clear, and we’ve responded! The latest addition to Avowed is our new Arachnophobia Mode, now available for use. This optional setting transforms spider adversaries into round, floating orbs that maintain their formidable power, but offer a less unsettling appearance. You can activate this feature within the Accessibility settings. Do keep in mind: while they may appear more inviting, these orbs retain their lethal sting.

Community Highlights – Update 1.4

With this latest update, you’ll find numerous enhancements designed to elevate your overall user experience. Many of these changes were prompted by the valuable insights you’ve shared with us.

  • Map Exploration Enhancements

    • Once most of a map’s accessible areas are explored, the fog of war will now fully clear.

    • Navigating into a city marked on your off-road chart (such as Northern Paradis in Dawnshore) will now unveil that specific section of the map.

    • Increased radius for fog clearing as you explore.

  • Critter Loot Drops

    • Critters can now be defeated—and may drop loot!

  • New Party Camp Feature

    • Players can now wait at the Party Camp to advance time.

  • Improved Soul Pod Functionality

    • Soul Pods now dispel illusions (except for Ryngrim’s entrance, which still requires Yatzli’s help).

  • New Settings Options

    • Chests now optionally appear on the minimap.

    • Power attacks with the Bow and Arquebus can now be canceled with a new setting.

…and that barely touches the tip of the iceberg – there’s a lot more packed into this update! If you want a detailed rundown of all the features in version 1.4, don’t forget to visit the forums and check out the comprehensive patch notes.

It’s our pleasure to express our gratitude for your consistent submissions of reports, opinions, and ideas. Your perspectives play a crucial role in molding Avowed, and we truly appreciate the effort you’ve made to share your valuable experiences with us. We’re eagerly looking forward to revealing what lies ahead.

Stay tuned—and see you in the Living Lands
