On February 25th, Crate Entertainment's spiritual successor to Titan Quest, the action-RPG Grim Dawn celebrated its first birthday. Congratulations on that! To date, the game has sold nearly a million copies and had a bunch of content added since release; its first expansion is well on its way. When Grim Dawn was initially announced, we were going through a drought of good Diablo-style ARPGs, but by the time it came out, the market has become quite saturated, so this success is quite an accomplishment.

A developer forum post, commemorating the occasion, offers the game at a 50% discount, recaps the road so far, and outlines what is yet to come:

Can’t believe it’s been a year already, but it’s true! This time in 2016, Grim Dawn was feature and content complete, released on Humble, GoG and Steam as a finished product. Thanks in part to the tremendous support and feedback from our earliest backers, our Kickstarter backers and those who joined us in Steam’s Early Access, Grim Dawn became a critically-acclaimed financial success with a 93% positive rating on Steam and an 83% reviewer rating on Metacritic. To this date, Grim Dawn has sold over 900,000 copies, a count that’s steadily rising every day.

And to commemorate this special occasion, you can enjoy a week-long 50%-off sale right here on our website!

But of course, the release was hardly the end of the line. Since then, we’ve had 8 free content updates and patches; we released the Crucible DLC, which was a Kickstarter stretch goal funded entirely by the generosity of our backers; and we started work on Grim Dawn’s first expansion.

To say that Grim Dawn has come far since its humble beginnings would be an understatement. The future is looking just as bright with the steadily growing scope of the expansion that will improve upon the already massive amount of content Grim Dawn offers:

• The next epic chapter of humanity’s struggle against the Aetherial and Chthonian invaders.
• Two New Masteries! Including the already announced Inquisitor!
• A level cap increase to 100!
• The Illusion System to transform your gear’s appearance!
• Hundreds of new items!
• And more…

From everybody here at Crate Entertainment, we’d like to thank you for being on this journey with us and hope that you are as excited as we are for what’s still to come! And when we look back on this date another year from now, Grim Dawn will have become even more massive!
