Batora: Lost Haven
Improvements available in the new Batora: Lost Haven patch
It's been almost 3 weeks since Batora: Lost Haven launched, and we are so happy that it has been received so well from the community!
We promised you that we would continue to work to make Batora: Lost Haven even better and follow all your directions to thank you for your support, listening to your feedback, which has been essential to improve the gaming experience.
Here we are, then, ready to announce a patch that will allow you to live an ever better gaming experience and continue enjoying Batora: Lost Haven in the best possible way.
"Meaningful choices" are now clearer - from the point of view of the UI we have inserted a golden halo to better identify the narrative junctions during which to make key decisions for the continuation of the story. The golden halo will begin to pulsate when one of the two choices you are going to make will prove to be fundamental for the development of the plot of your future.
Improved Achievements / Trophies obtaining - on Xbox it is now possible to correctly unlock Queen of Greenfield Achievements; on PlayStation 5 we have improved the localization of the activity cards in Italian.
Improved performance and stability on Consoles and PCs - we have reduced the possible crashes of the game by increasing the stability of the build, in addition we have also reduced the possibility of running into blocking problems that could compromise the fluidity of the game. From a performance point of view, we have made the framerate more stable.
Improved the input of the controls when playing with gamepad - We changed the default key mapping that allowed Avril to interact with the environment, so as not to interfere with other game mechanics. Now the interaction takes place with the Square button on PlayStation and X on Xbox, while it was previously located on Triangle button on PlayStation and Y on Xbox. The possibility remains for the players to remap the keys and choose the preferred combination. Also in this area we have improved the auto-aim, to allow you to have a better assisted aim in hitting enemies and environmental objects, such as crystals to recover energy.
Improved audio quality - now you can enjoy a better and smoother audio experience, thanks to improved synchronization between audio and cutscenes. We have also added the general volume slider on the console, for a single, more immediate adjustment, so as to allow you to manage all the audio tracks in a single solution.
Improved combat system in New Game and New Game + - we rebalanced the effects of attacks and damages, skills and behaviour of Avril, her companions and some NPCs, to make fights more fluid and satisfying, both in NG and NG+. This also applies to some boss fights deemed too difficult.
Improved User Interface in the game menus and in-game - now, in New Game +, you can clearly see the narrative choices you made during the first run, so that you can create different paths and discover new narrative implications.
VFX, textures and environments - we improved all these elements by making them smoother to enhance your overall visual experience.
Improved physics for Avril and NPCs - Interactions with the environment, both for Avril and the NPCs, are now smoother and more fluid.
Improved dialogues and texts - we improved the codex’s fruibility by making it easier to scroll; we fixed some typos in Japanese, German, English, and Italian; we also enhanced the synchronization between dialogues and the corresponding subtitles to make the overall experience more enjoyable.
In the next few days, an even more substantial patch will arrive that will improve your gaming experience even more, based again on your feedback and recommendations.

Hybrid enemies and how to fight them!
An enemy with a dual-coloured health bar?! What do you do? 🟣🟠
Hybrid enemies perform both Mental & Physical attacks. Deplete their health bar by switching attack styles - but be careful! Focusing too much on one style will trigger its berserk state!
Skills and attacks vary according to your current Nature. Match the colour of your opponent with your attacks to maximise damage and deliver critical hits. Just like Avril, enemies have different Natures. Use Nature Switch dynamically to shape your own combat style.
Hybrid enemies perform attacks of both natures and can be defeated by depleting their Physical and Mental health bar performing attacks of the same type. When they are left with only one kind of health bar, they enter a berszerk state, where they will only use skills from the left over nature with increased damage and effects.
Also the bossfights are based on an hybrid system. Keep an eye on their current health bar and choose wisely the correct Nature to inflict damage. Deplete their remaining health with correct nature!

Our new game, Batora: Lost Haven, launches tomorrow! 🎮
The launch of Batora: Lost Haven is so close we can almost touch it (it’s tomorrow!), and in these very intense moments we can’t help but think of the long path we’ve walked with you by our side since the very beginning.
Avril’s journey is one of development and growth, with its highs and lows - there are times when she does not know what to do and others where she just enjoys the present moments having a good time with her friends and companions, despite everything they’ve all been through. And it’s hard not to compare her journey with our own experience throughout these years where we’ve worked so hard to create this game.
We started with the idea of creating an intense story with a beautiful visual style and some new gameplay mechanics: a video game that could leave each player, each Keeper of Balance, with something in their hearts.
If the game is how it is today it’s especially thanks to your extremely precious feedback: every time we asked you to help us decide what to do, what you thought of this or that feature, you were ready to answer with honesty.
And today it’s incredible to think that the game is real and in just a few hours you will get to actually play it!
So… Are you ready to embark on this epic interplanetary adventure?
Because we are!
Batora: Lost Haven is out tomorrow, at:
9am PT/12pm ET/5pm BST/6pm CEST on PC
And with a day-1 patch to further improve performance on all platforms!
Also, the game will benefit from a 20% launch discount across all available platforms for a limited amount of time!
