On June 8, 2025, Nexon made available a demo for Vindictus: Defying Fate. This demo has rapidly attracted a substantial number of players, leading console gamers to inquire about its potential release on additional platforms.
Initially, we’ve made significant improvements for Libra, Creature of Night, and Adel, Baron of the Night. Earlier issues such as Libra repeatedly using the same attack, which could lead to 72 consecutive instances in extreme cases, have been addressed. Additionally, a bug that caused the game to run sluggishly during battles against Adel has been resolved, enhancing the overall game performance.
Defying Fate” – a fresh Action RPG coming from Nexon, set in the same world as “Vindictus,” which serves as a prequel to “Mabinogi.” Known for its top-notch combat, “Defying Fate” promises an even higher level of intensity.
In the initial version of Vindictus, the emphasis was strongly on multiplayer interaction because it fell under the category of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games. Conversely, Nexon is taking a new approach with Defying Fate, which is also set in the same world, but likely will not prioritize multiplayer as heavily.
The improvement in Libra’s behavior during boss fights, as seen in many player experiences since launch, is likely due to the correction of an issue mentioned in the patch notes, where Libra would repeat certain actions excessively. Players have reported instances of Libra getting stuck in a loop of jumping around the arena or becoming immobile after becoming enraged. This recent Nightreign update should resolve both these issues.
The long-awaited alpha version of Vindictus Defying Fate has been released, and players have eagerly joined the fray. This action-packed role-playing game, brimming with pulse-pounding battles and intense combat sequences, will have you wielding your sword with wild abandon. Yet, amidst all the excitement, it’s worth pausing for a moment to appreciate the game’s stunning visuals. Vindictus: Defying Fate includes a photo mode that allows you to preserve those awe-inspiring in-game moments.
FromSoftware Games, creators of ERN (Elden Ring Nightreign), has rolled out patch version 1.01.2. This new update majorly addresses various game-wide bugs. However, the developers warn players that some similar issues may persist and will be rectified in forthcoming updates as well.
In the promotional materials and trailers, there has been a consistent hint at the presence of Lagiacrus. Additionally, new tempered monsters (8★) and an Arch-tempered monster are expected, as mentioned by Yuya Tokuda, the game’s director, in his Director’s Letter for May 2025. You can also find information about upcoming improvements to the game in that same letter.
This revision addresses issues such as one causing Libra, Creature of Night to continuously execute certain actions, and also issues where the “Add Magic/Lightning/Holy to Weapon Passive Effect” was unintentionally increasing the power of physical attacks for bows.
According to its title, this method equips you with weapons for both hands, thereby enabling you to deliver more attacks and damage on opponents and bosses, a crucial aspect in this roguelike spinoff.
