'Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem' Chronicle I: Bloodtrail Content Update Announced

by Rainier on Nov. 30, 2020 @ 1:10 a.m. PST

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is an CryEngine 3 powered RPG, Hack & Slash, Horror Fantasy hybrid.

One hundred years ago, human race almost extinguished. Since that time, only a few survivors remain and fight for their lives. You are one of them. Find resources, items, allies and exploit the powers of the Umbra to survive. But be careful, you are their prey...

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is an open world action-RPG taking place in a corrupted world that is falling apart. You are a former soldier, forced to flee the death penalty because of your magic powers. Being tracked down by humans and hunted by the monsters of the Wild, you are recruited by a mysterious group of Templars, and thus your epic adventure begins.

Join this dynamic hack’n’slash and its fast-paced combat based on weapon combos. There are no class restrictions, you can choose your path as you level-up and play your character the way you want. The environment will react to your actions and the elemental based spells you might use to vanquish your enemies. Soon, co-op will be added, and players will be able to combine spells to create chain reactions, in order to overcome greater challenges.

There will also be a unique mechanic called Apocalyptic Form that allows players to shapeshift into a devastating form, adapted to your play-style. Dodge, dash, hack, slash, and unleash fury on your foes!

WOLCEN Studio will soon be releasing the first Chronicle for Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. Chronicle I: Bloodtrail is our first Free Content Update for Wolcen and it includes gameplay improvements and new content.

More details about the content of this update will be shared as its release approaches.

With Chronicle I: Bloodtrail, WOLCEN Studio also wanted to make a complete reset of the economy. Therefore, characters created before the release of the Chronicle will be moved to a separate Game Mode called Legacy, and they will not be able to interact or trade with characters created after the release of Bloodtrail. They will, however, still be able to interact or trade with the other Legacy characters.

Since the release of the game in February, the developer has released 17 patches for Wolcen in order to improve balancing, performance, servers, and fix the most common and critical issues. These last months, they’ve been preparing for Chronicle I: Bloodtrail, and although the devs chose to remain silent, they’ve been listening to your feedback and used them to enhance the game experience and improve the foundations of Wolcen.

This update is only the beginning of a new Wolcen’s journey, and WOLCEN Studio hope that you will join them for it.
