'Tainted Grail: Conquest' Gets Final Early Access Update, Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 29, 2021 @ 10:40 a.m. PDT

Tainted Grail: Conquest is a story-driven RPG set in the world of Arthurian legends.

Tainted Grail takes place on the dying island of Avalon. The ancient guardian stones that once helped people conquer this mythical place are now fading. As their light dims, a malignant power retakes the land inch by inch. Your desperate hometown sent a party of champions to seek help from distant Camelot.

You were not one of them.

Now, the true heroes have failed, the king is dead, and the Round Table is in disarray. The ordinary people of the island, such as yourself, scramble to find safety. Set out on your journey to uncover the secrets behind the legends.

Save Avalon – or simply try to save yourself.

Tainted Grail is a dark, fantasy open-world RPG with fresh turn-based exploration and combat. It is based around a deep, immersive story from one of the best board games (biggest Kickstarter project of 2018!) but introduces a totally new experience crafted specifically for PC. Full of stirring art and incredible, non-linear narrative content, the game will offer a unique mix of discovery, challenge, and exciting cRPG character progression, as well as involved combat and diplomacy systems.

Be a part of an engaging, non-linear story based on the grim re-imagination of Arthurian myths. King Arthur is dead and the Menhirs protecting humans for centuries are going dark, losing their vitality, and beginning to die. Use your wisdom and tactical skills to survive each day. Customize your characters and create unique combos while fighting for your life. Try to stay alive, or you’ll end up as another forgotten hero who died a meaningless death. 


Tainted Grail: Conquest will officially launch out of early access (Steam and GOG.com) on May 27, 2021.

The game’s final major early access patch goes live today, featuring an expanded narrative, tons of new in-game content, a massive visual overhaul and more.

Today’s big pre-launch update includes:

  • New story content which revamps the narrative and adds new bosses, quests, locations, and NPCs.
  • Tons of gameplay additions, culminating with a total of over 340 passive skills, 460 cards, and 50 masteries to enhance your abilities.
  • A massive visual overhaul, with over 30 new 3D enemy models, plus new combat animations and VFX.
  • General enhancements and improvements to balance, UI, environmental generation, progression and more
To celebrate, Tainted Grail: Conquest is on sale for 20% off on Steam today through May 6.

Key Features:

  • EVERY DECISION MATTERS: Written by Krzysztof Piskorski, one of the best Polish fantasy writers, the story will immediately draw you in and keep you engaged, surprised, and invested in the secrets behind Avalon and the ancient Menhirs. 
    Thanks to its complexity, you will be able to directly influence the narrative through numerous decisions. A mature, dark, and unforgiving fantasy setting will make the whole experience even more immersive. However, in this dying world, no decision is easy or morally obvious. Very often, you will be faced with impossible choices. Other times, the consequences of seemingly easy decisions will come back to haunt you when you least expect it. 
  • DEVELOP YOUR TEAM AND VILLAGE: Throughout the game, you will continually develop your heroes. From upgrading new items, through leveling and choosing new asymmetric special skills and attacks, up to deciding on evolving archetypes, you will redefine and guide these characters. 
    On top of that, you will take care of your village as well. Creating additional extra buildings will not be easy – often, you will need to solve story encounters and unlock new possibilities through exploration.
  • EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN: A huge part of the game happens during expeditions through the land covered by the Wyrdness – an ancient force twisting people, creatures, and even space itself in all manner of horrible ways. You will need to carefully manage your resources and use special items to protect you from the Wyrdness. Choose your paths carefully, as there will be plenty of enemies lurking and waiting to strike immediately. Exploration is the only way to gather precious resources and ultimately figure out what is happening to Avalon, and if the decay of its lands can be stopped.
  • STRATEGIC COMBAT: During combat, you must decide what skills to use and try to figure out the best possible combo. Use special power runes to boost your characters. Develop different playstyles for each character while planning tactical encounters. Pick items to aid you in battle and perform special movements. All of this will make each and every playthrough a different and exciting challenge.

Currently available on Early Access (Steam and GOG.com), Tainted Grail: Conquest is coming to PC (Steam and GOG.com) on May 27, 2021.
