Your hero.
Your way into the darkness.

Make the hero yours.

Create a character, choose a class and grow through the gear and skills you discover.

• A 3D character creator lets you shape your hero before entering the world.
• Feral Berserker and Ashen Priest are playable. The Vessel and Bound Warden remain development concepts.
• Change equipment, compare items and follow your progress through the inventory, quest journal, Skills and Codex.
• Quests are grouped by status, with objectives, locations, progress and rewards in the journal. Choose Normal, Hard or Nightmare for your hero.

Find it. Improve it. Make it yours.

The next drop is only the beginning. Take your favourite equipment to Hollis in Ashenmoor.

• Temper eligible gear from +1 to +5 and add forge marks. At +5, eligible gear becomes a Masterwork with a second mark slot.
• Rebalance weapons toward Light or Heavy, salvage unwanted gear for iron scrap and collect ore for the forge.
• Cursed equipment needs cleansing before the smith will work it. Relics and Uniques can be tempered but cannot receive forge marks; jewellery is outside the smith’s craft.
• Keep equipment and gold in the stash. Ashen Priest builds can use staves, caster swords and ritual offhands.
• Hollow, Set and Relic drops have distinct presentation. Compare equipment before deciding what to keep, sell or salvage.

Further beneath the old world.

Follow the Red Spring through Act I, descend through the Broken Fortress and explore Act II in early access.

• The Broken Fortress has four depths, elite encounters and Skugarth waiting below.
• The Ancients’ Road adds a two-floor dungeon with Corvain’s voiced questline, flooded chambers and escalating encounters.
• The Red Moor and Old Harrow extend the journey into Act II. This part of the game remains in early access.
• Use the minimap, detailed M map and transparent Tab overlay to navigate The Ancients’ Road.
• Travel through active waystones and use Shadow Portal to return from the wilds. The Red Moor map becomes charted for each hero once they have used its map.

Your journey. Your fellowship.

Play alone or with up to four heroes online. An internet connection is required for both.

• Find friends through the Friends panel, join their world and respond to invitations. Hosts can approve or decline join requests.
• Each hero keeps their own loot, gold, experience and quest progress. Nearby party members receive their own loot from shared chests.
• Use General or Party chat, with mute, block and report controls. The damage meter shows each hero’s contribution.
• Ashen Priest Rituals are available online. Both playable classes can take the road together.
• Choose Europe, US or Auto for your session region. Friends can join across regions.

Leave a name in the Book of Blood.

The game’s leaderboards record eligible online heroes and their achievements.

• Open the Book of Blood with L to explore records, weekly rankings and all-time rankings.
• Pursue highest critical hits, boss-kill times and the Road to 50, with class and level brackets where applicable.
• Class and eligibility rules apply. Imported heroes and some older characters may not qualify; historical missing records are not automatically restored.
• The alpha is still being tested. If a score or report fails to appear, report it with F8 or contact the community on Discord.

Find your way through the dark.

Adjust the interface, rendering and camera to suit your setup.

• Video settings are grouped into Display, Rendering and World & Camera, with individual quality options and camera effects.
• Change HUD size, use the detailed map or open the transparent map overlay.
• Controller navigation has been added across the menus and main panels. Physical USB and Bluetooth controller verification is still outstanding; this is not a claim of fully verified controller support.
• The launcher installs the game and keeps it updated. Create an account first, then sign in with that account in the launcher.
