Vagrus is 5 years old! Over the past week, we’ve been looking back at the places, faces, and sounds of the Riven Realms, while asking you to share your own favorites. Thank you for joining the conversation and sharing the memories that made Vagrus special for you. Now we have asked our team about their favorite memories from the past five years. We are also coming with gifts, and besides the Anniversary Edition and the in-game banners, we’re also celebrating with a GIVEAWAY, where 5+5 lucky winners can choose a Vagrus key for their preferred platform.

Hey everyone,

Last week, we shared our Patreon Revamp Survey, and many of you have already taken the time to participate. Thank you so much!

The response has been incredibly encouraging. Most respondents have been with us since Early Access or the full release, and we’re seeing a strong interest in lore deep dives and concept art, as well as development updates, opportunities for minor involvement in content creation, merchandise, and TTRPG content.

We are pleased to announce that, starting today, our Cultured Supporter Pack is available on Nintendo!

The Cultured Supporter Pack, as well as the Ruinous Supporter Pack, help the ongoing development of Vagrus and our studio, and include a cosmetic set for every Companion as a thank-you. Its theme was chosen by Vagrus players and features a diverse range of attires that reflect various cultures of Xeryn, the continent where the game is set. The contents of the supporter pack are the following cosmetics:

In the video game industry of the last decade or so, it has become increasingly common and appealing to talk about involving players in developer decision making, though what this means exactly can vary greatly between projects. In this article, we’ll discuss some elements related to eliciting, handling, and incorporating player feedback in Vagrus, so if you are interested in how you all had an effect on this game, dive right in!

Since World Art Day is today, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on something at the very heart of Vagrus: the works of visual and audio art through which the game’s world manifests. From the first sketches to the final brushstrokes, from the quietest ambient tones to the swelling notes of discovery, the Riven Realms exist because of the people who built them—piece by piece.

Hey everyone,

Today we are excited to release part one of our Expedition updates, Journey in the Dark, which picks up Kharandar and gang’s story where we left off in the expansion: the expedition is ready to set out from Dum Garok and they are sending you ahead. Or, down below, to be exact, as the journey in the story’s continuation will take players underground first. We’ll also talk about the upcoming supporter pack, a Nintendo giveaway, and get into the patch notes.

This week we wanted to confirm that the second cosmetic supporter pack for Vagrus is coming along nicely, and also provide a little peak into said progress. These supporter packs are ways to further aid the development of Vagrus and our studio in general, and they provide a cosmetic for every Companion in the game as a “thank you”.

We’re excited to announce that At the Heart of Ruin, the second expansion of Vagrus – The Riven Realms, is now available on Nintendo Switch!

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.

We’re excited to finally reveal that At the Heart of Ruin will arrive on Nintendo Switch on December 22. It is the last platform to receive the expansion due to its longer approval process, but that extra time worked in everyone’s favor. Drawing on the wealth of feedback from players across all other platforms, we’ve been able to refine, tweak, and polish the experience even further.
