Hey everyone,

There's quite a bit happening at Lost Pilgrims, so let's take a look at what we've been up to and what's coming next!

Our Patreon Is Getting an Update

On November 16, our Patreon will get a refreshed layout and a more streamlined membership structure, with fewer, clearer tiers and new benefits. Some existing tiers will be retired, but current members can keep their memberships and existing benefits; only new sign-ups to those tiers will be closed. Our most popular tiers will remain largely the same, alongside entirely new membership options.

In our previous Revisited articles, we’ve explored some of the most memorable locations in the Riven Realms – their histories, atmosphere, and the music that brings them to life. But this revisit is a little different. When we announced our intention to complete the Valley of Sleepers’ storyline, we were deeply grateful for the feedback and enthusiasm you shared with us, and the Patreon pledges that went into the Vagrus jar. It was encouraging to see how many of you still remember this eerie corner of the Jagged Waste and how much you’d like to see its story reach a proper conclusion. So, while we’re working on this bit of content, let’s briefly revisit the Valley.

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.

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.

In this series of “Revisited” articles, we’re taking a look at iconic or interesting locations in the playable part of the Riven Realms and invoke their unique atmosphere. Music plays a key role in building the game’s ambiance, and so we’ve decided to prepare short videos to get the vibe across.

This time around, we’re taking a look at the Great Stairs, a location we first introduced a year ago. Many once-mighty edifices of an age long past still dot the volcanic landscape of Varnurud, the ravine-ridden, broken ridges of the northern Mountains of Fire. Among the most impressive such structures is what the savage inhabitants of the region simply call “the Great Stairs”, although it was once known as the Stairs of Baldar. In the ancient days of the Third Age, the kingdom’s Dwarves used these to ascend to the tall ranges of Norrgadar, or down to Varnurud – often with cargo. By present day, the stairs have crumbled so badly that it is difficult to believe they were ever safe to traverse. Rumor has it that many scavengers found their deaths trying to reach the highest point, if only to gaze outward and take in the magnificent view of the valleys below.

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.

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.
