The MMORPG Gloria Victis is receiving a massive update. The developers are enhancing graphics, maps, and parts of the gameplay.
Gloria Victis has been in Early Access on Steam since 2016. The MMORPG is developed by Black Eye Games, an indie studio from Poland. They announced that after further adjustments, they plan to leave Early Access soon and are offering players significant improvements with the current update. The graphics, especially the sky, are now much more detailed.
In a developer talk on YouTube, they explain what has changed in Gloria Victis.
What kind of game is this? Gloria Victis throws you into a medieval open world that is realistic. Therefore, there is neither magic nor special monsters or effects in the MMORPG. Instead, Gloria Victis focuses on other aspects:
- An action-packed combat system
- You manage massive castles and have to defend them against other players
- PvP is possible everywhere in the world
- PvE content such as group quests, events, and raids
- Crafting plays an important role
- There are no fixed classes. Instead, you improve your character by leveling up skills.
The MMORPG is Buy2Play (costs 19.99 Euro on Steam) and also offers a shop with cosmetic upgrades.

Significant graphic improvements
This now looks different: Especially the visual quality of the sky has changed since the update in Gloria Victis. In the sky, you can now see high-resolution clouds that move.
The movements of the sun have also been improved, now showcasing beautiful sunrises and sunsets – much closer to reality than before.
A new lighting system makes the nights in the MMORPG darker while offering you the possibility to set up lanterns and torches to light up part of your surroundings. Over time, your character’s eyes also adapt to the darkness, allowing you to see more.
Additionally, there are visual effects such as fog or lightning to make the environment more realistic. The reflections in water bodies also look better now.
To ensure you experience more of this, the visibility range around your character has been increased. Now you can see more of the beautified world around you.
This is what the sunsets look like:
New structure of the world map
The map of Stoneholm, the world of Gloria Victis, has been restructured since the update. The capitals of the 3 regions are now located at the edge of the map, while starting zones for each nation are on separate islands.
Through the changes, players are supposed to have more space on the map, allowing them more time to contemplate their actions and manage potential risks.
The quests have been adjusted to the new map. Players should comfortably reach level 60 while being safely on their way. With specific quest boards in each zone, it is also possible to complete additional tasks and gain more experience.
Furthermore, you can now directly teleport to your quest. Previously, you had to walk everywhere.
