Vagrus: The Riven Realms announces DLC release At the Heart of Ruin
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 on other consoles on 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.
Here’s some additional information:
The expansion has many facets with a lot on offer – stories, locations, and features the studio has lovingly crafted. Here are the details of what players can expect:
- A savage, imperiled new region free of Imperial dominance and brimming with danger
- A slew of new locations and enemies in the usual art style and quality of Vagrus – more than in any single DLC before
- Exploration Encounters, a brand new game feature that offers procedurally generated challenges, obstacles, and chances to get loot outside the narrative-heavy sections
- Three scavenger factions that are nemeses of each other, with their own quests and rewards
- A large cast of NPCs, most of them new, while others are recognizable faces from old stories
- Unique quests available through committing to one of two new minor factions
Our most ambitious narrative undertaking since the release of the base game, both in complexity and narrative impact
Expansive, branching, dark adventures that build on the rich lore of the Riven Realms
Replayability due to the sheer volume of divergent outcomes, stories, rewards, and opportunities
