The “Time of the Oldening” is almost upon us, as Vagrus turns to the respectable age of 5 years on the 5th October! The anniversary celebrations bring a new improvement patch, including a couple of small gifts for all our players. The name of the game’s base edition is changing to Anniversary Edition on Steam to reflect half a decade of improvements and free content – a better, improved Vagrus. In addition, in this article we’d also like to shout out one of our fellow developers and their cool new game, Retro Space.

Hey everyone,

While we were busy preparing the next update, we almost forgot that Vagrus is turning 5 in a few weeks! Yes, this means that some of you have been conquering the wasteland for half a decade, and we at Lost Pilgrims have been grinding at it for a few years more than that.

In any case, we thought to take a look at what Vagrus comprises now, 5 years after its initial release on October 5th.

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.

For years, the Lost Pilgrims community has supported us in many different ways — by playing Vagrus, sharing their experiences with others, joining the conversation, and, for some of you, supporting us directly through Patreon.

We’re currently taking a fresh look at our Patreon and wondering what, if anything, we could do to make it more interesting and valuable to our community. And this is where we’d love your input. We’ve put together a short survey to better understand what people would actually want from a Lost Pilgrims Patreon. We’re interested in hearing from current supporters, former patrons, people who have considered joining, and people who have never used our Patreon at all.

While we are sad to let summer go, we are happy to welcome the new season, which brings changes in many respects. We are bringing not only a new patch, but the announcement of an updated bundle that includes our fellow developer’s new game!

A New Addition to the ‘Resourceful Realms’ Bundle

Vagri,

We're happy to announce that the “Expedition” story’s final chapter  is now available on Xbox and PlayStation, bringing the conclusion of the major storyline to players on every platform. Additionally, the patch also brings a huge localization update on PC and consoles.

Hey everyone,

Today’s update brings some tweaks to the recently released Expedition questline’s final chapter as well as further performance improvements and fixes. Before delving into that, however, we wanted to reflect upon the big update and its reception.

The response to the final major content update has been truly overwhelming. We've received a great many kind messages over the past few days, and one thing we've seen again and again is that many of you had been waiting to experience the Expedition storyline in its entirety before diving in. Knowing that the completed journey is now in your hands means a great deal to us.

After a road that was almost as long and arduous as that of Kharandar and his merry band of explorers, we have finally reached our destination: the closing chapter of the Expedition storyline is now available to all owners of At the Heart of Ruin! The free content is accompanied by a slew of performance improvements and tweaks, which we believe, improve the games significantly.

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:

One year ago to the day we shared an article about the Conflagration Village, a place we hoped you would never have to visit in game: the dwelling the Cleansing Conflagration – a gang of pyromaniacal, murderous scavengers – call home. Though it may not look much at first glance, it is a place of terror, sacrifice, and depravity, where there are artifacts and effigies aplenty to remind you of what cruelty goes on there.
