Overview

  • The free “A Critical Encounter” story pack teams up with Critical Role to introduce Rufino as a recruitable ally voiced by Robbie Daymond.
  • A new Nightmare difficulty setting sharpens enemy AI, narrows parry windows, reduces resources, and boosts combat and stealth challenge.
  • The open-world alarm system now triggers province-wide regional alerts when players repeatedly attack civilians or military units outside castles.
  • Quality-of-life enhancements include a headgear toggle in cinematics, customizable visual-effect toggles, and three horseback camera presets for more cinematic riding.
  • Deploying across PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S with patch sizes from 6.27 GB to 19 GB, the update also adds an Ultra Low PC visual mode and fixes multiple quest, visual, and audio issues.
