Shores Unknown: Content Update #2 - Now Available!
Welcome to the City of Carrines Bay!
Greetings, Mercenaries!
We're happy to announce that the second major content update for Shores Unknown, which introduces the City of Carrines Bay and continues the main story of the game, is now available to download!
Note: save files from the previous versions of the game are compatible, but can cause some unforeseen issues. As always, we recommend you start a new game when a big update like this drops for optimal experience.
Below, you'll find the patch notes for Content Update 2 (version 0.8.0.0) - please be wary of potential spoilers.
New Additions
- Continuation of the main story: explore the sprawling port city of Carrines Bay and uncover the secrets of the mysterious Alchemist.
- 7 new side-quests taking place in a number of new (and some old) locations, including companion quests for Reginald, Ashya and Sheila.
- 17 new advanced classes: bring your characters to new heights! Advanced classes unlock automatically when the characters progress enough in their ability groups. Some of the classes require progress in multiple ability groups (e.g. a weapon stance and Destruction magic). Note: please keep in mind that not all classes are obtainable with any character. We originally planned to include new ability group unlocks, allowing to learn magic schools for the main character, in this update, but the events needed to support this will be added in the next incremental update instead.
- Weapon specialization abilities: using a certain weapon type in battles continuously will now eventually unlock a new powerful ability for that weapon type. These abilities can differ drastically depending on what weapon and stance are being used, but we can promise they're all pretty strong and provide some valuable utility for the characters, so experiment away!
- New weapons and items available from vendors and quests in the update.
- New respawning enemy encounters added to Mountain Forest and Abandoned Iron Mine locations for all your grinding needs.
