Hear ye Dice rollers! We're happy to present our next free update, the Dread update! This update aims to make the earlier player experience easier, and the later experience harder, with rewards for progressing through the difficulty (Dread) levels!
This update gives you greater variety and replayability with new cosmetics, vassals and dice to unlock to improve and vary your build across multiple runs. Fight your way through the Dread levels for an increasing challenge, and gain exclusive unlocks that will help you on your journey.
For a more in-depth look at the goals behind the changes in this update, be sure to check our two previous devlogs where there's more detail on the intentions behind some of the major changes. Otherwise jump in now and be the world's first player to beat the dreaded (pun intended) 7th difficulty!
Alongside that you can expect multiple bug fixes, balances, UI reworks and accessibility improvements. Full patch notes below!
