14 DAY TRIAL // Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem seemed like a sure hit for many who tried out the game at launch. Unfortunately, Wolcen Studio's game was marred by technical issues and a problematic in-game economy that allowed for some crazy builds to happen.
Even after 17 patches, the Diablo-like game feels like a lost cause. That's probably why developers have decided that instead of trying to fix Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, they might as well start all over again.
Earlier this week, developer Wolcen Studio confirmed that it's working on a brand new update called Chronicle I: Bloodtrail that will hit the game sometime soon. What the update does is completely reset the game's economy and move all characters created before in some sort of “legacy mode.”
Characters in legacy mode won't be able to interact or trade with those created after Chronicle I: Bloodtrail hits Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. More importantly, the first Chronicle for Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem will be available for free, and it will also include some gameplay improvements and new content besides the economy reset.
“With Chronicle I: Bloodtrail, we also wanted to make a complete reset of the economy. Therefore, characters created before the release of the Chronicle will be moved to a separate Game Mode called Legacy, and they will not be able to interact or trade with characters created after the release of Bloodtrail. They will, however, still be able to interact or trade with the other Legacy characters.”
What the team behind Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem didn't say is when exactly the Chronicle I: Bloodtrail update will be released. Apart from the vague “soon” timeframe we don't have any information about when the update might be released. Still, it's important to mention that Wolcen Studio plans to keep pouring more updates like this one, at least that's what the developer claims.
