Exciting new content is coming soon for Guardians of Ember, the alternative to Diablo 3. Act V will be released next week, and the Horde mode is coming soon.
In an update, the developers of Guardians of Ember report what to expect in the game over the next few weeks. After the recent release of the new Dark Knight class, new content will follow next week. Act 5 is already nearing release, while the planned Horde mode still needs some polishing.
Guardians of Ember – April Content
The development of the fifth act in Guardians of Ember has progressed faster than the developers expected. Because of this, this content can be released next week. The plan is for April 25th to be the release date for Act 5 in GoE. The release was initially scheduled for May.
- Act V offers you cool new content: “In the abandoned landscape of Labato Fjord, your next task awaits. There, you must stop Arques before he joins Urdigard. Act 5 is the final chapter in Early Access.”
- New DLC System: The team is introducing a system in GoE that allows players to unlock DLC content directly in the game, skipping the previous unlock codes.
- Event Tool for Ingame Events: A new event tool is nearing completion to give the community management team the ability to launch in-game events.
Originally, the Horde mode was also supposed to be released in April, but it will now come next month. Due to feedback, some fine-tuning is still being done before the game mode is released. This especially concerns rewards and balancing.
Guardians of Ember – May Content
In May, players can expect not only the Horde mode but also the first parts of the English translation. Additionally, ranked matches are planned, as well as a guild skill system.
- Horde Mode: This 5-player co-op mode is considered a survival mode where you must defeat waves of enemies. The mode tests your skill and rewards you with achievements and rewards afterward.
- English Translation: In May, the first acts with English translation will be released. By summer, the remaining content of Guardians of Ember should be available in English.
- Balance Update: The developers are currently evaluating stats and player feedback to complete a larger balancing update.
- Ranked PvP: Once the game is better balanced, the developers plan to enable ranked PvP.
- Guild Skill System: Leveling up your guild rank will provide each member with unique buffs.
