Hello, travelers!
Some of you may’ve already seen that we announced an estimated release date for the game’s 1.0 release! If things go to plan, you can expect Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon to leave Early Access somewhere in Q2 2025. Apart from Steam and GOG, we’ll launch on PS5 and Xbox X/S too! For that occasion, we launched a brand-new story trailer that was shown during Xbox’s presentation at gamescom! See for yourself if you haven’t already: [previewyoutube=Y7QHksadi8A;full][/previewyoutube] What's important is that with the 1.0 release, we'll have to wipe your save files. You will lose your current characters. That's something we've always kept pinned as a warning here on our Steam page. We understand this can be a pain, but unfortunately, there’s no chance for us NOT to do that. We treat Early Access as a tool to gather feedback and polish the game as much as possible before the final launch. Thanks to your comments, we have a lot of grand changes and pivots planned, and we’re sure they will make the game more enjoyable both for seasoned players and newcomers. However, the system tweaks will be so game-changing (pun intended) that wiping the current saves will be unavoidable. Thank you for your understanding!Now, for the work-in-progress content updates!
Apart from working on completely new stuff, we’re also polishing the already-existing features. Some of the good old dungeons and locations are being revamped to better reflect their mood and atmosphere.
We have a thing or two for mutated animals. Soon you’ll be able to face big turtles and suspiciously fast snails.

We’re adding a new type of weapon - spears! Here’s a work-in-progress combat showcase.

Now, watch out, as you might not’ve seen this coming… We’re adding farming! Finally a little breather from all of the Wyrd-touched peasants and other monsters trying to beat you. Nutrition is important, so there will be plenty of veggies for you to grow. And some roses for your loved ones, too!

Remember the frosty Forlorn Swords we showed you the last time? Here are some more sneak peeks of its environment & assets that you will stumble upon while exploring the area.
New land means new foes to fight. Some of them are the Frostbitten Warrior and the Remors.
There will be many completely new weapons to try out! Below are just a couple of them to tease you a bit.

One of the first spears ever, the Midnight Wolf Spear:
We’re also adding various NPCs equipped with new armor sets.
As all RPG fans, we love dungeons and loot! For your eyes only, the early preview of the “Gates of Knowledge”. Can you feel that wizardry in the air?
