Category: News ArchiveHits: 881
The Fire and Ice early access update for The Iron Oath was originally supposed to be going live later this month. However, ultimately the developers decided to push the update's release back to July. And following that decision, we get an updated early access roadmap that lists two more updates in the game's near future and some extra stuff further down the line.
Here are some additional details:
Hey everyone!
As we're nearing the end of the month, we wanted to give you an update on when you can expect the Fire and Ice update to drop. Our original plan was to release it during the last week of June, but with the Summer Sale now taking place, we've decided to wait until the event ends to officially release it. You won't have to wait that long to try it out though, as we'll be moving it to the Public Test Branch in early July. In the meantime, we're doing a bit more testing and also adding the ability to flee from fights in dungeons and in the overworld.
We've also taken some time to rework our roadmap based on community feedback and what we felt needed to be addressed.

Following Fire and Ice, our next two major updates will be focused on improving combat, character leveling, and dungeon crawls. On the combat side of things, we'll be rebalancing some enemy stats, adding new enemy variants, and making support/utility abilities a more attractive and useful option. Our overall goal will be making enemies feel more unique, requiring you to use different strategies and tactics to deal with them.
Character leveling is another area that has been commonly brought up by the community. We'll be making changes to provide greater freedom when leveling your characters, resulting in more diverse builds. Some character traits will also be getting a balance pass so they have a greater impact on a character's strengths and weaknesses, making them a more important consideration when leveling up.
As always, we thank you for your support and feedback! We hope you're all as excited as we are about getting these changes into the game over the next few months!
