Avatars,

Release 55 is our third release since launching out of Early Access. As promised, we are continuing our cadence of monthly releases, just as before. Release 55 of Shroud of the Avatar goes live this Thursday, June 28, at 10:30 AM US Central Daylight Time (15:30 UTC).

There is a ton of new content going live this release including:

New Reward for Story Completion (SPOILER): All Avatars who complete the entire story will receive a Player-Owned Town Row Lot Deed (Taxed) from the Oracle!



Brewing: Avatars can now harness the process of fermentation to create beer, wine, and whiskey!



User Interface Polish: We have done a complete art overhaul of the user interface background and border art. We have replaced the gold borders with a more neutral stone and are in the process of removing as many borders as possible.

New and Polished Scenes: In Release 55, we rebuilt two more adventure scenes: East Vauban Foothills and Norgard Fens. We also created a new PvP scene called the Obsidian Trial that is helping us test systems and content for Castle Defense Scenarios.





New Enemies: We added a whole menagerie of new enemies to Novia in Release 55, including Light & Dark Unicorns, Child Zombies, Ebon Dawn Cultists, Swamp Reapers and the Atavists of Purity!









and much, much more!

For all the details, please read the entire R55 Instructions and Updates Notes post, as well as the linked Instructions and Known Issues within the post to ensure a smooth update to your game client.

Have fun exploring New Britannia!
