Achilles: Legends Untold has just announced its first major content update since Early Access as it brings new bosses, extra challenges, and highly requested minimap. Dark Point Games has been devoting its time to bringing new features and quality-of-life improvements to the game.
The 0.2.0 update features a minimap, two new bosses, a new Tartarus Rifts side activity, new dungeon locations, and more.
Watch the showcase of the update 0.2.0 below:
Talking about the update, CEO and lead game designer, Pawel Waszak talked about the game ever since its launch and the feedback they have taken from the game:
When we launched into Early Access, we received a wealth of extremely valuable feedback from our dedicated playerbase. Thanks to them we were then able to really focus on the most pressing features and fixes, to make sure we provide the best possible experience to both our existing and new players.
Changing the course for our initial roadmap wasn’t an easy task, but we are very happy we were able to shift some of these priorities and we are very confident about the state the game is in now. From here on out, we can focus our resources on bringing more exciting features and content to Achilles: Legend Untold, knowing that anyone who picks the game up today is in for a great time
With the update in place, the developer is now looking to the future with even more content and updates to the game with a brand-new Early Access Roadmap.
