October 22: Lost Pilgrims Studio has just announced the release of a brand-new DLC for its game Vagrus: The Riven Realms. Described by the developer as its most ambitious project yet, At the Heart of Ruin will launch for other consoles today, October 22, with a Nintendo Switch release to follow at a later date.

This new expansion significantly broadens the game’s dark fantasy world and narrative foundation. Set in the Mountains of Fire, where the crumbling remains of an ancient dwarven kingdom still linger, the DLC takes players on perilous new adventures. Traversing these harsh lands will require smaller-than-usual crews, as players navigate rugged mountain terrain and face some of the most fearsome foes ever seen in Vagrus.
