As you may already know, Dark and Darker has arrived both on the Epic Games Store and Steam, and with its arrival, the developers at Ironmace Games are kicking off a brand new Season. With that said, there is a new patch coming today, alongside tons of changes that you need to take care of.
Without further ado, you can find the changelog below:
Dark and Darker Early Access Season 4 Patch Notes
- The addition of the new Ice Abyss!
- The addition of the new Druid Class!
- New emotes and the Lycan race!
- Renewed focus on dungeon crawling, starting with the removal of the circle mechanic.
- Ability to upgrade to Legendary Status!
- Cross-play across multiple PC platforms.
- Major balance changes!
On top of the new features, we’d like to give a small peek into some of our plans this season including: -A Platform Link feature that allows for cross-progression across multiple PC platforms. For our players on Blacksmith who have already purchased the game and want to launch their account from another platform, we ask for your patience and continue playing on Blacksmith for just a little bit longer until this system is released. We feel strongly that our early adopters should not be required to re-purchase the game on another cross-play PC platform.
- An updated ‘Adventure Leaderboards’ that reward actual dungeon adventuring rather than the loot you collect.
- An upgraded matchmaking system that removes the pre-lobby, ratcheting up tension and improving the matchmaking times.
- A renewed Gathering Hall that includes the return of the Tavern as a social place to hang out, meet party members, and see Otto!
- The introduction of the Arena, a new game mode and leaderboard system that showcases team PvP skills.
- Experimenting with randomly generated dungeon layouts to add more mystery and motivation to explore the dungeons.
