The Bergson’s fight against the Corruption continues in 2020! We are super excited to offer you, Children of Morta family, even more content for the game! As you have come to expect (and appreciate), the majority of new content coming to Children of Morta will be available free of charge to those who own the game with only the Uncharted Lands being released as paid expansion. Let’s take a closer look at the Roadmap!
Pretty exciting, isn't it?
Here's the full list of upcoming content updates:
Shrine of Challenge introduces hard difficulty and an item pack with more than 20 new items including Charms, Divine Graces and Divine Relics.
Setting Sun Inn invites you to New Game+ mode in which players carry their unlocked characters, skill tree, Morv, and Workshop Upgrades into a new playthrough after completing the game.
Random Encounter means what it says and says what it means - you’ll never know what you might find here!
In the Bergsons’ House a new playable character awaits.
The Fellowship Sanctuary adds the much anticipated online co-op to the game.
Temple of the Endless contains a series of arenas with waves of enemies, mini-bosses, and a new boss. This Endless Mode fully supports online co-op.
The Treasure update will contain more than 30 new items including Charms, Divine Graces and Divine Relics.
All this should prepare you for The Uncharted Lands. The next journey for the Bergson family will be a brand new DLC chapter with the main quest and a home event, another playable hero, new enemies, and a new boss.

And here's a short, animated version of the Roadmap: https://youtu.be/5g6H22c_GRQ

Also, we have a surprise for all those who want sensual music from the game to accompany them through everyday tasks. Children of Morta Original Soundtrack, composed by Hamidreza Ansari, is now available on:

Making New Marks | 11 bit studios Publishing Announcement
Hi there, Community!
We have some super exciting news for you!
We are proud to team up once again with the developers of Moonlighter and take on an ambitious project from Fool’s Theory! Both projects -- in various stages of development with further details coming in 2020 and beyond -- are bigger in scope than anything 11 bit has previously published.
“We’re still an extremely picky publisher. We’re probably even pickier than we were before if you can believe it! Our job is to hand-pick true gems and put our best efforts in with the development teams to help make them shine. We believe in boosting unique projects and using all the marketing magic we have to see them succeed. Right now, we’ve got two projects we’re really proud to have under our wing,” - Pawel Feldman, Publishing Director at 11 bit studios.
Details are sparse right now (gotta save all that marketing magic for later), but we can reveal the following:
We are beyond thrilled to be teaming up with Poland-based Fool’s Theory for their latest project, codenamed Vitriol. The studio behind the artfully created stealth title, Seven: The Days Long Gone, is developing a game best described as a meaningful RPG. Jakub Rokosz, CEO at Fool’s Theory says, “We are truly happy to align with 11 bit studios. They’re known for their ability to find the unique spirit in a game and I believe our upcoming title fits impeccably with the type of projects they like to work on.”
You might also say that we are ‘over the Moon(lighter)’ to be teaming up once more with Digital Sun Games. There’s nothing to divulge just yet, but rest assured that the hard-working Spanish developer is putting the same care and attention into their new project (codename Foxhole) as they did with their critically acclaimed indie hit, Moonlighter, but this time it’s a totally new IP. “We badly wanted to work with these guys again. As a team, we feel 11 bit did a great job with Moonlighter and we both want to do even better things together. It’s really as simple as that, ” says Javier Gimenez, CEO at Digital Sun Games.
And if you're willing to look for more clues, here's a short but very mysterious video:

We're very much excited for the things to come. We hope you're sharing this excitement with us now! Stay tuned!

Have a good one!

Children of Morta | Patch 1.0.7
Hi there, Fam!
A quick update before the weekend! We've managed to fix the Di Vine Machine Achievement. It's not a major change - but we know how important achievements are for some of you out there!
Find all details below. For us, there are no spoilers here - but some of you could consider this description a minor spoiler about an in-game achievement. You have been warned!
For new players: By collecting first Artifact (Stone), there would be no slave events in the dungeon till you come back home and see the first cutscene where Ben starts working on the machine. After that, you can collect all 3 Artifacts (Stones) even in a single run and by collecting the fourth one, the second and last cutscene will activate and after that, the achievement should pop up.
For players who have already collected all 4 artifacts but did not get cutscene/achievement: We were forced to delete those artifacts (Stones) from your inventory and remove data record of slaves events. Thanks to this modification you should encounter the slaves events (in the way described above) again and complete the quest in order to get the achievement.
Sorry for any inconvenience it may cause!
If you still encounter any issues - please do let us know on Steam Discussions or by sending us an email to: techsupport@11bitstudios.com. We want you to have an awesome, flawless experience playing Children of Morta!
