Overview

  • Overture DLC launched June 6 as a $30 expansion featuring a prequel storyline, new areas, weapons and combat styles.
  • New Game Plus enemy scaling has ramped up so significantly that even seasoned players report frequent one-shot kills and overtuned encounters.
  • Neowiz introduced additional easier difficulty options at release, leading some users to downgrade their settings to overcome the steep challenge wall.
  • In a YouTube Director’s Letter, Ji Won Choi acknowledged that certain segments did not play out as intended and outlined plans for balance adjustments.
  • No firm date has been set for the patch as Neowiz continues testing specific changes to health pools, damage output and scaling formulas.
