⚔️ Blackthorn Arena: Reforged - Release Date Update ⚔️
Hello, Arena Masters!
We want to thank everyone who participated in the Blackthorn Arena: Reforged demo during Steam Next Fest. Your feedback has been incredibly valuable, and after careful consideration, we’ve decided to take a little more time to polish and refine the game further based on what we’ve learned from your experience with the demo.
As a result, the release of Blackthorn Arena: Reforged will be delayed slightly from our original target. While we don’t have a specific new date to share just yet, rest assured it’s not far off, and this extra time will ensure we deliver the best possible version of the game.
While we know delays can be frustrating, we wanted to share something we’ve been working on in the meantime: Endless Arena Mode. Here’s a quick look at the mode in action:
We appreciate your understanding and support and will update you with a new release date as soon as possible. Until then, thank you for being part of this journey with us. We’re excited to share more soon!

P.S：The system will force the character to have only one archive in Ironman mode, and you cannot save the game manually. At this stage there are still some problems with Ironman mode, which may lead to corrupted archives, data loss or stuck story. Therefore we strongly recommend you to reconsider whether you want to enable this mode. Crash or abnormal exit of the game in Ironman mode can easily cause damage or loss of archive data, so please don't force the game to close in Ironman mode.

2) Fixed the bug that the automatic archive could not be loaded after quitting in the middle of challenging the orc master in Ironman mode.

10) Fixed the bug that some monsters killed with Grab Attack in Transformed Mode might not be able to pick up the loot from the corpse.
11) Fixed the bug that issuing multiple skill casting commands in Command Company or using multiple skills in a row in a trigger action may cause the skill casting after the one in the row to be interrupted.
12) Accelerated the casting speed of transforming to avoid the probability of transforming skill casting being interrupted.

A new freelance champion, Sixteen Nights (Yizayoi), has been added. She is a female ronin from the eastern country of Asago who wears a suit of black armor and is called Yoiyami. She can be refreshed in the very late archives.
Originally a member of the Shogunate's assassin organization in Asarai, nikenamed Genki, Yizayoi specializes in kendo, ninjutsu, and assassination. She was taught harshly from a young age by a court ninja master, and by the age of fifteen she had acquired the skills to begin working for the Shogunate. One day, Yizayoi was assigned a mission to assassinate the princess of a neighboring country. When she managed to infiltrate the princess's residence and saw her target, Yizayoi was surprised to find that the person she had to kill was a young girl two years younger than herself, who looked totally innocent. Yizayoi could not accept to let such an innocent girl die under her own hands and become a victim of political struggle, she resolutely chose to give up her mission and accept the fate of being hunted by the organization and her own teacher, no matter where she goes. She began to roam all over the world.
