Howdy there Wizards,
We're happy to announce that we've gone and done it:
4-player co-op is here!
The "Better Together" update is live right now!
This is a free update that increases multiplayer to up to four wizards. It also includes a large number of content changes that we’re excited to share. If you’re curious about everything we’ve been working on, read below.
If you're one of those wise-wizards who likes to get down to brass bullets, you can check out our bulleted patch notes for this update!
4 Players can now explore the Shatter Together
Finally.
Gather three wizard friends and log on! The shatter is open for you to explore. Be careful, with increased wandpower comes increased challenges!
Over Easy or Hard Boiled
New Difficulty Levels
Customize your experience to your preferred skill and challenge level with four unique difficulty levels.
- Ranger - a less challenging experience with lower penalties for failure.
- Gunslinger - the default difficulty setting.

Lore Galore
Libraries
Available to all wizards by default, the recipe for the general library can be found in the worldbuilder!
“But, Galvanic,” we hear you say “we already have bookshelves!”
Not like this one, you don’t!
These sturdy shelves hold all the secrets you’ve collected in your journey, and allow you to easily access your favorite pieces of lore.
Each shelf in this library reflects a specific archetype of magic. We’ve added bookshelf variant recipes that reflect that archetype's style, too – but they’re only available to the wizards that persevere. Collecting enough literature to fill a shelf will reward you with its associated bookshelf recipe.
New Lore
New reading materials can also be found in areas around the shatter and in boss arenas. Discover the secrets of the gods and the Imperium's final days. Find out why Hilda's riders have a bounty on them. Read some poetry. Super-sorcerer-slueths will have plenty to uncover in this update.
A Secret beyond the Oculus
Do you dare explore what waits for you?
There is something lurking in the depths of the void, beyond the gate of the Oculus. Gather your friends and find out what waits for you – if you dare!
