| Server Shutdown and Online Character Conversion | 2024-09-17 | Greetings, Ascended, We will begin shutting down Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem's servers today after the delay communicated earlier this month. Your online characters will be available in the cloud and can be converted for offline play with the patch that is also rolling out today on all platforms using a new button, “Import Online Character”, which can be found in the main menu and on the landing screen. All achievements are still available for completion, including “Dawn’s Healing”, which will now require you to revive an NPC companion instead of a player. Additionally, any achievements completed online prior to the server shutdown will be retain |
| Delaying Wolcen Server Shutdown - September 17th | 2024-09-03 | Dear Wolcen Community, We’ve read your comments, and, seeing that quite a few players are still doing their best to get the Dawn’s Healing achievement, we have decided to postpone shutting down the servers until September 17, 2024. During this time, we will work on finding a good equivalent for it that can be unlocked while playing offline. We would also like to confirm that there will be an "Import Online Character" button in the game’s menu that downloads and converts your online character to an offline one, even when the server are already shut down. The Wolcen Team |
| The Future of the game | 2024-05-30 | Dear Wolcen Community, Thank you for your unwavering support and patience. It’s been a while since our last update, and we apologize for the silence.

This includes the nodes Safe From Afar, Undertaker, and Academic Fieldwork; as well as the Affix +Projectile Speed and The Trial's +100% Chance to inflict Mark of Impurity. Fixed an issue where the some variants of the Unique gloves Imbued Argrand's Hearth would have an incorrect required level and incorrect drop ranges. Various graphical optimisations. Various crash fixes. |

Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue on Gamepad where releasing the Left Stick would interrupt Bladestorm.

Gameplay Changes: Items with tier 13 affixes now show their name and the relevant tier 13 affixes in green text on their tooltips. Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue during Chapter IV where returning to the main menu and reloading at certain points would cause the majority of Stormfall NPCs to mysteriously disappear (though their voices would still be audible - spooky!). Fixed a texture issue in the mission "The Only Lead". Console Only: Fixed an issue on XBOX where the Skull reward screen would insist on |
| Patch 1.1.7.12 | 2023-06-22 | Greetings, Ascended! Today we are rolling out patch 1.1.7.12 on PC, patch 1.1.7.20 on XBOX, and patch 1.014 on PlayStation. Gameplay Changes: Items with Tier 13 affixes now have their labels displayed in green when they drop, so they can always be distinguished! With the next patch, we will also be changing the text colour of Tier 13 affixes in item tooltips to green: until then the affix and item name in tooltips will be displayed as white. Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where equipped items would appear to be missing after switching online characters. This was due to a harmless but alarming-looking desynchronisation between client and server, wh |

This patch brings a new tier of affix to the endgame, along with the usual bug-fixing goodness! Gameplay Changes: The drop ranges of affix tiers 9 and 10 are now capped at Item Level 200. A new affix tier has been added: tier 13! Tier 13 affixes have a very rare chance of rolling on rare and legendary items with an item level of 217, and offer a +50% increase in power over tier 12 affixes. Tier 13 affixes will appear in orange text in item tooltips. Bug Fixes: Magpies rejoice! The Diamond Mines of Morkai project can once |

Fixed an issue where the VFX for the Sweeping Gales Skill Modifier of Talon Shot did not match the actual area of effect. Fixed an issue with the Skill Infinity Blades which caused the tooltip for the Spherical Repulsion Skill Modifier to report an incorrect value. Improved how |
| Patch 1.1.7.8 | 2023-05-22 | Greetings, Ascended! Today we are rolling out patches 1.1.7.8 on PC and 1.010 on PlayStation. This patch will arrive on XBOX at a later date. This patch changes how Infinity Difficulty scales and awards bonus Attribute and Gate of Fates points, along with the usual selection of bug fixes. Gameplay Changes: Infinity Difficulty has had its scaling adjusted, and now has a more pronounced difficulty curve. Because of this adjusted scaling, far fewer skulls need to be spent to reach higher difficulty levels. Successful Operations on Infinity Difficulty now reward the same amount of skulls spent to launch the operation, rather than double. As befor |
| Patch 1.1.7.7 | 2023-05-12 | Greetings, Ascended! Today we are rolling out patch 1.1.7.7 on PC, patch 1.1.7.16 on XBOX, and patch 1.09 on PlayStation. This small patch brings further fixes and small tweaks to tide things over whilst we cook up further improvements to Infinite Difficulty. Improvements: Added additional music to Stormfall when in Champion of Stormfall mode. Enjoy community-favourite tracks from the OST whilst bargaining with Mohabi. Further refinements have been made to the gamepad targeting system and should make it much easier to interact with what you want when you want. Improved input latency on gamepad. Slightly increased the number of secondary dunge |
| Patch 1.1.7.6 | 2023-05-05 | Greetings, Ascended! Today we are rolling out patch 1.1.7.6 on PC. This patch addresses the variety of environments and enemies in Endgame Operations, along with various bug fixes. Improvements: We have done a pass on how often particular biomes and enemy types spawn in Endgame Operations, to bring some balance and variety to what players typically encounter. Some environments, such as the Red Wastes, were overrepresented, whilst others were rarely encountered. For enemies, the Cult of Souls faction were the most encountered, whilst the Cult of Fury and Bandits were seen less often. We have also done a pass on the spawn rate of secondary dung |
| Hotfix - Patch 1.1.7.5 | 2023-04-28 | Greetings, Ascended! This is a small hotfix for two outstanding issues from 1.1.7.5. Please note that your game version will not change. Pushed a new localisation file to restore broken text in the Stomfall overview and War Table UIs in non-English versions of the game on PC. Stings of Krearion has been tuned back down to a more reasonable power level. However, it has been left more potent than it was before 1.1.7.5, with a 300% Skill Weapon Damage (up from 200% pre-patch). |
| Patch 1.1.7.5 | 2023-04-26 | Greetings, Ascended! Patch 1.1.7.5 is now live. This patch brings further balancing changes to the game, and various bug fixes. Improvements: Added an option to enable or disable the "panning effect" of the camera when using a controller. The new option's checkbox can be found in Gameplay Settings with the label "Controller Camera". Balancing: City Building: Significantly increased the cost of the Uber Lambach boss fight project. While we want unique items to be readily available to players, the low cost of the project made them just a bit too available. Items: The Ahriman affix that increases maximum ailment stacks by 1 can now allow up to 2 |
| Patch 1.1.7.4 | 2023-04-13 | Greetings, Ascended! Patch 1.1.7.4 is now available. This patch brings improvements to Infinity Difficulty and the campaign save system, along with fixes for bugs and crashes, both big and small. Improvements: Infinity Difficulty. Players can now more easily spend large quantities of skulls. Mouse & Keyboard behaves in the same manner as when adding Attribute Points: use Shift+click to add 5 skulls, or use Ctrl+Click to add 50 skulls. Or, if using a controller, simply press and hold the designated input. We are aware that the Campaign save system can be obtuse, particularly in the early stages of Chapter I where there can be long gaps between |
| Patch 1.1.7.3 | 2023-04-05 | Greetings, Ascended! Patch 1.1.7.3 is now live for PC. This patch addresses the player power issues that arose from the Infinity difficulty tier and resolves the associated character loading issues. It also brings a number of other improvements to controller gameplay, online behaviour, and, of course, bug fixes. As always, if there is an ongoing issue you don't see a fix for here, be assured that we will address it in a subsequent patch. We would also like to re-remind players not to complete the ""Ward the Palace"" project in the Regent Assembly as it can cause a disconnection or crash during phase 3 of the Ahriman fight. We are actively wor |
