Chief Rebel has launched Fellowship Season 2 and the update is live now. The season introduces two new heroes, a low-pressure open-world practice area, and progression changes aimed at smoothing the early game while adding rewards for longer-term players.
Fellowship is a dungeon-focused multiplayer RPG that condenses the feel of large MMO raid encounters into short cooperative sessions built around the tank-healer-DPS trinity. The game pairs Diablo-style class influences with familiar MMO mechanics to keep fights tactical while avoiding long-term time demands.
2 heroes arrive in Season 2. Aeona is a healer who manipulates incoming damage. Her presence temporarily stalls half of the damage any group member would take. The stalled portion is visible to the whole party and decays over time so teammates have moments to react. Aeona can cleanse the delayed damage before it resolves. Much of her healing output is tied to damage she deals to enemies rather than only to direct heals.
Xavian is a paladin tank with limited self and group healing. He applies stacking debuffs to foes that he can consume to regain mana. His Shining Halo creates a burning pool on the ground that protects Xavian from damage while recreating a Consecration style effect familiar to long-time paladin players.
The update also adds the Woodland Glade, an open practice zone reachable at any time from the Stronghold, including while waiting in matchmaking. The Glade has no timers and no major bosses. Enemies there do not force players to show up with a full tank healer DPS team, so it is a space designed for solo practice or casual group play to master rotations and abilities without pressure.
Community director Hamish Bode says the team pushed to respond to feedback at scale. “We’ve had a look at player progression and made amendments to make things flow much better, on top of introducing new rewards for our veteran players. We’ve also made sure that new players that aren’t necessarily familiar with the MMO-based dungeon-crawling mechanics get a chance to ease themselves in and properly learn Fellowship’s core gameplay loop without added pressure.”
Fellowship reached more than 40,000 concurrent players on Steam at launch before its player count eased down over the following months. By February there were under 1,000 players online at once. After the Season 2 launch the game moved back into the tens of thousands of concurrent players, and SteamDB recorded a 24-hour peak of 13,407. Chief Rebel published the Season 2 launch on Steam and that announcement is linked from the store page. Season 2 launch on Steam coincides with a temporary 25% discount that runs through Monday March 2. The sale price is $18.74 or £15.74. Chief Rebel says the price is likely to increase when early access ends.
