Forsaken Realms Vahrins Call

Greetings all,

It's been a little while since we released our last patch and believe me, we've been very busy.

25% Sale & 1.1.2 Patch Notes

The Steam Autumn Sale starts tomorrow!

From October 1 - October 8, Vahrin's Call will be available with a 25% Discount.

On top of the many post-release patches we've already released since late July, we can't wait to share our upcoming melee combat update, as well as a UI overhaul at a later date.

Patch Notes for today's update

• Removed field of view changes while sprinting.

• Implemented a field of view slider in the settings menu.

• Updated the climbing system to feel more smooth and responsive.

Localisation

Currently, Vahrin's Call only supports English and Finnish. However, we are in the process of localising the game into other languages too.

We've seen many of you from all across the globe request additional language support, and it's something we're actively working on. It's a time consuming process and requires a lot of back and forth to ensure the translation is both accurate and respectful, but we'll be sure to keep you all updated when we have more info to share.

Upcoming Melee Combat Update

We're currently working on an update that aims to make melee combat feel more impactful, dynamic and above all else, fun!

We can't wait to share exactly what's included in this big update. We've been paying close attention to feedback and have made many adjustments and changes that we think many of you will appreciate.

This will be our biggest update yet and is planned to be available for you all over the coming weeks.

UI Overhaul in the Works

On top of the big melee combat update, we've also been very busy working on a UI overhaul. With a completely re-designed and refined user interface, navigating the various pages that allow you to craft your classless character will feel better than ever before.

Both of these updates will be included in the next few patches. We're incredibly excited to get them into your hands!

We're incredibly lucky to have such a supportive community and we can't wait to share what's in store next. Take care all!
