"The Witcher Awakening": New content and Improvements

New weapon type: Ornaments

New weapons have been added to the already wide and varied arsenal of the King of Darkness. Between swords, scythes, and pistols, now we can choose ornaments, magical artifacts with a destructive capacity that will delight his dar majesty (and also his followers).

Now players will be able to unlock this new type of weapon in the Famished Town forge and enjoy its 10 variants. Each of these ornaments features a unique design and attack patterns, in addition to the possibility of being ascended to the Summum level to unleash their full destructive potential.

The ascension diagrams can be obtained by performing certain feats with ornaments or completing specific missions... Everything will depend on the particular weapon.

With the inclusion of ornaments, a new weapon progression tree has also been added to the Starving City forge. Improve the attributes of this new type of weapon in each of the 8 branches and achieve the best performance in combat. A new gene called "Witchcraft" has also been added that increases the damage the King of Darkness does when wearing ornaments.

It's the Steam Awards! Nominate Summum Aeterna for "Most Difficult Game"

21 Nov, 2023

The Steam Awards 2023 has just started, and with them the Autumn Sales, a great opportunity to get and vote for one of the most challenging titles of the year... Summum Aeterna

The Aeterna Universe-based Roguelite is an ideal candidate for this category. The fights against final bosses and the level of pressure in some seeds make the title a real challenge for the most demanding players.

It would mean a lot to us if you nominated us for "Most Difficult Game" aka "Best Game You Suck At", since that is one of the highlights of Summum Aeterna.

Remember that Summum Aeterna has a 20% discount during the Autumn Sales on Steam, don't miss this opportunity ;)

Thanks a lot for your support! We count on your vote ;)

New free DLC announced for Summum Aeterna

28 Sep, 2023

It's been just 2 weeks since Summum Aeterna was released in version 1.0 and we can already announce a new free DLC that will be available before the end of 2023.

The new content is titled “The Witcher Awakening” and will offer a multitude of new features that will add more hours of play and fun to the current version. The free DLC will include a new type of weapon, the ornaments, magical artifacts that work very differently from the weapons, requiring players to adopt a new style of play when defeating the final bosses and the hordes of enemies.

In addition to allowing access to devastating new tools of destruction, upcoming content for Summum Aeterna will also include a “seed history”. This is an interesting addition that will make our pace of play much more dynamic by being able to accurately review the challenges and seeds that we have already overcome to focus on everything we still have to do.

We will share more details about this in the coming weeks. We cannot confirm the final date yet, but you can expect it at the end of this year. Long live the King of Darkness!
