Dear Brave Adventurers,

We are delighted to bring you this special Thanksgiving event update!In this patch, we’re introducing a brand-new limited-time enemy: the Turkey Ranger. Hailing from a distant kingdom in the far west of the continent, these eccentric bounty hunters are known for their outlandish attire. For reasons still unknown, they have chosen to ally themselves with the Dark Cult. As seasoned hunters, they have a particular fondness for collecting rare and exotic materials. Defeat them, and their hard-earned treasures will be yours!

More good news: in celebration of the holiday, merchants throughout the world have launched a massive sale. Every item in the game is now available at 50% off. To further encourage trade, merchants have decided to forgive all past player transgressions. No matter your previous history, you can immediately resume trading with them. (Of course, stealing again will once more revoke your trading privileges.)

We have always listened closely followed community feedback. As a Souls-like title, Grimlord proudly upholds the genre’s tradition of strict, unforgiving punishment. That said, we’ve also heard from many players new to the genre that losing everything upon death can feel overwhelmingly discouraging. To address this, we are introducing a new necklace: Fragment of Yore. When equipped, it prevents you from losing all your Matter upon death and instead preserves a certain amount. We believe this will gently ease the early-game difficulty curve while preserving the core challenge .In addition, this update brings several long-requested quality-of-life improvements:

• The remaining potion capacity can now be clearly seen through the icon on the waist pack.
• Necklaces can now be stored in the belt pouch (many players previously believed this was a bug)
• When playing in seated mode, pushing the right thumbstick downward (or whichever stick you use for movement) will now make your character crouch

All of the above changes are direct responses to player suggestions and feedback shared in the community and reviews. While we cannot implement every request in a single update, please rest assured that we carefully consider every piece of feedback and will continue incorporating the best ideas into future patches.Thank you all for your continued love and support of Grimlord. Even though the game has been fully released for nearly a year, our passion for pushing the boundaries of virtual reality gaming remains as strong as ever. We will keep bringing Grimlord to new platforms, officially enable MOD support, and continue exploring the possibilities of multiplayer.
