[previewyoutube=VUGrm3hraWM;full][/previewyoutube] Hello hunters! Today we are releasing the first part of our Fall Update for Rotwood. The Splintershard Cavern Update includes a wide variety of content that we have been working on since our previous update: a new Weapon Type; a new Hunt and its associated Boss, Miniboss, Rots, Armour, Weapons, Heartstone, and more; the addition of Super Frenzies for more late-game content and challenges; crafting of Boss Weapons to begin harnessing the power of Boss Rots for yourself and some world restructuring provide a smoother and less grindy experience for new players and old players alike, while laying the groundwork for incoming narrative. NOTE: We wanted some more time to put a high shine on [url=https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/160141-beta-test-splintershard-beta-now-live/]Anomalies and Gems[/url] so those will be released in the second part of the Fall Update in November. We'll be opening up the beta for Anomalies and Gems very soon! One last note. A big thanks once again to everybody that helped with testing during the beta. We appreciate all of those bug reports and well thought out feedback. See you in part 2 very soon!
