Hello adventurers! We are excited to bring you the next content update including a new dungeon, gameplay enhancements, and many optimizations in this patch.

The Festering Bog

At the foot of the Ragewind Mountains lies a vast bog. Corpses have decomposed into great festering peat for centuries as armies sought to siege the mountain castle. Now, this bogland is enthralled by a great host of Undead, their shambling husks wandering the murky waters. Your quarry lies within Ragewind Castle, but first, you must traverse the Festering Bog. The Festering Bog is a new map to explore with ten new bosses to challenge the most seasoned veterans. The Festering Bog is the 7th dungeon to arrive in Dungeons of Sundaria. Introducing 10 new bosses set in a challenging outdoor swamp environment that even the most seasoned adventurer will enjoy.

All Current Dungeons and Difficulties Unlocked

We unlocked all dungeons through the Festering Bog at the start of the game. The final dungeon, Ragewind Castle, may require unlocking the previous dungeons. In addition to dungeons being unlocked, we have unlocked all current difficulties by default. A guide has been implemented for players recommending the approximate level the content was designed for. Attempting harder dungeons at level 1 is at your own peril! Map selection will warn players if they are 5 levels or more below the recommended level.

New Armor Dye Merchant

Cletus Thornhue has recruited help from his sister Myrna to travel with the town caravan to the Festering Bog to support the adventurers there with new armor colors. You will find Myrna in the starting camp in the Festering Bog.

Split Screen

We have improved the player experience in split screen. On guest or local accounts, players can now select their save game data, allowing e.g., player "3" to use player "4" save data when there are not 4 players present. In addition to this, controllers detected on the PC will prompt the player to ask if they would like to add a split-screen player, not doing so automatically for all detected controllers.
