Dark Fantasy Shooter ‘GRAVEN’ Receives Second Early Access Update [Trailer]
Slipgate Ironworks has dropped the second major Early Access update for GRAVEN, which has now been out for just over a year. GRAVEN is still expected to launch fully on PC on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, as well as the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch in 2023.
The update fleshes out GRAVEN’s first world hub, which sees players return to the plague-ridden town of Cruxfirth. You’ll be assisting the destitute townsfolk in new side quests, as well as delving into the Damned Estuary to finish off the hub. You’ll also now have at your disposal the Writ of Subjugation, an illicit scroll of primitive but effective magic, and the Ballista, a heavy crossbow capable of felling large targets at great distances.
In addition, Slipgate has also expanded the 4-player online co-op component to the GOG and Epic Game Store versions of GRAVEN. Community-requested features such as respawning items, purchasable ammo, cosmetic weapon upgrades, and more help GRAVEN feel more accessible. Per the press release, this is all part of the response to the community feedback received after releasing the first content update. In fact, the teams have decided to extend development to polish and improve GRAVEN, as well as add a third content update releasing later this year. You can see the updated roadmap below for details.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
