Hey adventurers!
In our recent community update, we said that we were returning more of our attention to Stolen Realm, revisiting long-standing issues, and looking at ways we could continue improving the game.
Now we have something a little more concrete to share.
We’ve been working on v1.3.0, a new Stolen Realm update containing new Roguelike features, quality-of-life improvements, and a large number of bug fixes.
Before we release it to everyone, we want to put the update into a public beta and give the community a chance to help us test it.
What’s New?
There are several additions in this update, including:
Endless Roguelike Difficulties
Roguelike no longer ends at Difficulty VI.
After completing Difficulty VI, you’ll unlock Difficulty VII, followed by progressively higher difficulties for those of you who want to keep pushing your builds further.
Yes, we heard you, Roguelike players. 😉
More Control Over Roguelike Builds
We’ve added a new Skill Tree Removal Roguelike power-up.
You can spend Roguelike currency to purchase removal points and then use those points on individual characters to remove selected Skill Trees from their random skill pool.
This should give you more control over the kinds of builds you’re trying to create while still keeping the randomness that makes Roguelike runs interesting.
Free Skill & Attribute Resets
You can now reset your Skill Points and Attribute Points for free while in town through the Character and Skill Tree menus.
Experiment away!
Improved Inventory Search
Inventory search has received a significant upgrade.
You can now search using:
Damage types
Attribute effects
Special effects/text
Rarity
Item types
Equipment types
Item names
We’ve also added autocomplete suggestions to make finding what you’re looking for easier.
Fortune Search
Fortunes can now be filtered using search tools, making larger Fortune collections much easier to navigate.
Major Bug Fixes
We’ve also been working through reported issues, including several more serious bugs that we particularly want players to help us verify during the beta.
Fixed map generation occasionally running twice, which could result in floating or duplicated island geometry appearing over the actual map.
Fixed an issue that could cause rooms to fail to rise correctly and begin shaking.
Fixed characters occasionally being assigned to the same hex, along with other issues caused by incorrect hex assignments.
Fixed Heart of the Realm boss achievements not unlocking correctly.
If you’ve experienced any of these issues previously, we would especially appreciate you testing them again during the beta.
Help Us Test the Update
This is a beta build, so before we roll it out to everyone, we’d love your help testing it.
If any issue listed as fixed below still occurs, behaves differently than expected, or causes a new problem, please let us know.
You can share your feedback in the comments on this article, or join our Discord and report it in the Stolen Realm Bugs channel: https://discord.com/channels/882339707726495745/1262886325678243923.
The more detail you can provide such as what happened, how to reproduce it, screenshots, videos, or anything else that might help, the easier it will be for us to investigate and make sure the update is ready for full release.
How to Access the Beta
Find Stolen Realm in your Steam Library.
Right-click the game and select Properties.
Select Betas.
Choose Open Beta from the Beta Participation dropdown.
Steam should automatically download the v1.3.0 beta build.

v1.3.0 Beta Patch Notes
Features
Added Endless Roguelike difficulties. After completing Difficulty VI, you unlock Difficulty VII and progressively higher difficulties.
Added a Skill Tree Removal Roguelike power-up that allows you to spend Roguelike currency on removal points, then spend those points per character to remove Skill Trees from that character's random skill pool.
Reassign attribute and skill points freely while in town, directly in the Character and Skill Tree menus. Partial changes are supported, so you can shift a few points without resetting your whole build.
Inventory search now matches effects and properties. Searches can match damage type, attribute effects, special text, rarity, item type and equipment type instead of only item names.
Inventory searches now provide autocomplete options.
Fortunes can now be filtered using search tools.
