Take Flight with the Phoenix Update!

We're thrilled to be able to share our second major content release, "The Phoenix Update," with you!

What's New?

Themed after the ideas of "fire" and "rising from the ashes," the The Phoenix Update touches on almost every part of the game. We've packed this update full of new content and quality of life upgrades.

New Biome: Nightmare Campground

We've introduced a brand new biome in place of the previous fourth level. The Nightmare Campground, is a dangerous, twisted memory of one of Cassidy's most cherished places. Discover new memories, obstacles and haunting environments as you push through this hellish landscape to dive deeper into Cassidy's subconscious.

New Enemy Class: Battlemage

Face off against the Oathbreaker, a deadly battlemage that haunts Cassidy's mind. The Oathbreaker is a cunning foe that mixes magic, mobility and melee to push you to your limit.

Introducing Companions

Coming in hot for the Phoenix Update is a major new combat system. Cassidy will need all the help she can get, and the Companion system gives her the edge she needs.

Companions mainly improve the flexibility of melee combat, stacking to provide increased damage and versatility, but others will passively buff, attack and defend for Cassidy as well.

Combat System Overhaul

Thanks to your amazing feedback, we took a good portion of time for this update to revise the combat system. Here are some of the biggest changes you can expect:

• Enemies now spawn into rooms with spawn animations.

• Projectiles are gone! Ranged weapons now use Lucid Meter that recharges.

• A new elemental type - Wind

• A new status effect - Off-balance (increase critical hit chance).

• Critical Extinguishes - combining elemental effects results in an instant critical hit, adding more depth and strategy to your builds and combat options.

• Visual overhaul for weapon skins breath new life into elemental effects.

• A robust damage number system.

• Ranged weapons and Lucid Attacks have visual indicators.

• Beam weapons are now affected by modifiers.

• Improved enemy pathing.

• Configurable aim-assist for ranged attacks.

New Items

You can expect to find 22 new items in this update, ranging from new weapons and abilities, to new dodges, shields and keepsakes!
