Greetings, Magicians and Technologists!
Today we bring exciting news for all travelers to New Arc - the first major Early Access update is just around the corner, bringing fresh content, new characters, and thrilling gameplay possibilities!
Discover a New Magical Location
Venture into a brand-new enchanted area, full of hidden mysteries and powerful magic. Brave the unknown and uncover what lies beyond the veil as you explore the Mages' Enclave!
New Playable Race: Dwarves
Step into the world anew and observe it through the eyes of a Dwarf character - a race known for their iron will and unmatched craftsmanship, it is these attributes that allow them to excel in many fields of both magic and technology. While they can become proficient in all the various disciplines, in this update, we are starting them off with the two most typical classes for their race, taking advantage of the dwarves' innate strength and resilience.
New Playable Classes for Dwarves*: Steampunk and Hellfire
- Steampunk Mechanic: True Juggernauts of Invention. Steam Mechanics tackle every challenge head-on, relying on roaring, coal-powered engines as well as their iron-like willpower. With gear powered by steam and raw ingenuity, they enhance the strength and resilience of their bodies. With each new piece of equipment, they become more and more of a walking fortress. The most adept Mechanics eventually assemble and pilot full steam-driven exoskeletons — towering machines built to smash, crush, and survive anything the world throws at them. When muscle meets machinery, nothing can stand in their way. If you choose the path of a Steampunk Mechanic, prepare to blend technological tradition and innovation, engineering prowess and a sharp tactical mind to fully utilize the many ingenious gadgets at your disposal.
- Hellfire Occultist: Channeling dark, burning energies into devastating attacks - a dangerous path for those who dare to walk it, but one that leads to the most destructive arcane powers known to the world. Unleash pure chaos with the most brutal school of magic yet. Hellfire Occultists invoke searing flames and summon demonic forces straight onto the battlefield. They're not the type to flinch from danger or try to negotiate first - they thrive on destruction. Wielding heavy maces, morning stars and similar vicious weapons, these warlocks back up their infernal spells with raw physical might, making sure that if their fire can't get the job done, a crushing blow will. In the eyes of a Hellfire Occultist, might makes right, the ends justify the means, and mercy is for the weak.
*all classes will become available for all races by the time the game leaves Early Access
Meet a New Companion
In this update, you'll meet a new potential party member. She's... A kind of an elf. And practices a kind of voodoo magic. Her name is Claudia, and following her story will open up whole new dimensions of reality you never knew existed. You just better hope she’s in a good mood, though. Already intrigued? Good! We will bring you more details about this enigmatic new personality soon.
This update opens up new gameplay avenues in New Arc Line, offering players fresh ways to explore, fight, and weave their own story; whether they’re drawn to ancient magic or modern mechanical marvels.
P.S. A mischievous Gnome Trickster, in a distinct bright green suit will make his way to the city - care to speculate what happens when you meet him?
