Hey everyone,

This update brings with it the machine translated texts for the entirety of At the Heart of Ruin at last! Thanks to all of you for your patience – we know this took a bit long, but it proved trickier to implement than we had anticipated. Hopefully, now those of you who’ve been waiting for it can enjoy the expansion, too.

The update also includes a number of additions and improvements for several languages. We’ve changed the font for Japanese, Chinese, and the newly added Korean language to Noto Serif going by the recommendation of our volunteer translators on our Discord server (where we provide a space for each language’s machine translations to be improved by such awesome volunteers). Similarly, based on the term glossaries compiled by translation volunteers, we’ve completely re-translated the Japanese, Chinese, and Russian texts to vastly improve them.

Elsewhere, we’ve been busy working on the free additional content coming to At the Heart of Ruin. As we’ve previously revealed, it’s a continuation of a major storyline, and it’ll take players on an amazing, harrowing, arduous journey into parts unknown in the Riven Realms’ Fourth Age. Stay tuned, because the next big segment (after the unrelated “The Gangs of Varnurud” update) will arrive early next year.

Speaking of next year, we’ll go into a bit of hibernation until then, so we’d like to take the opportunity here and wish all of you a happy holiday season and a great New Year! We’re ever so grateful to our friendly, intelligent, critical, and creative playerbase and hope to deliver cool stuff for a long time to come.

Below you’ll find the patch notes. See you next year, vagri!

Important Note: Considering the extent of the improvements, there is little to no chance that we broke nothing in the process. Assume that we did not want to make anyone's life harder. If you see something amiss, please flag it to us using the usual channels, like the inbuilt reporting tool (F1 button), forums, and our Discord server.
