The Hopebringer: v1.6.1 Patch Introduces Respecialization
The Hopebringer's v1.6.1 patch is now live, and includes new Potions of Amnesia. These were a recent user recommendation from ToyMachine on the forums.

These potions can be purchased from magic vendors, and are also a rare drop from any boss or miniboss. They will allow you to respecialize both your stats and your skills.

The Hopebringer: v1.6 Patch
We are happy to announce that we have moved the latest Public Beta branch into the live build.

This patch updates from Unreal Engine 5.1 to Unreal Engine 5.3, and in the process it adds automatic DLSS support if you have a DLSS compatible video card. This update should improve performance and stability for most users.

If you run into any unexpected issues with this patch, please provide feedback in this thread, and we will address it as soon as possible.

In case anyone does have issues, we have set up a new SafeMode branch. This branch will utilize the previous version on Unreal Engine 5.1. This is a safe fallback for users who the game ran fine for before, but for some reason experience issues unexpected issues, or crashes. It will allow them to play the game until we can address any issue that may sprout up.

We do not anticipate you needing this branch, but if you do here is how to activate it:

How to Enable the Safe Mode Branch

1) Right Click on The Hopebringer in your Steam client and select Properties.
2) Click on the betas tab of the Properties window.
3) Up at the top will be a drop down for Beta Participation. Select the "SafeMode - If you run into any issues try this branch". Select it. If you do not see the SafeMode branch, you may need to restart Steam in order to make it appear.

The Hopebringer: DLSS and UE 5.3 Beta Test
We have been working behind the scenes on a port to Unreal Engine 5.3, which includes DLSS integration. This build is currently available on a special beta branch which you can enable if you would like to participate in beta testing this branch before it goes live.

This test has performed well in internal testing, but it will need to be run through the ringer by others, including on systems that do not support DLSS. If you run into any problems with the build, please report them in this thread.

How to Enable

1) Right Click on The Hopebringer in your Steam client and select Properties.
2) Click on the betas tab of the Properties window.
3) Up at the top will be a drop down for Beta Participation. Select the "PublicBeta - Public Beta Test" branch. If you do not see the PublicBeta branch, you may need to restart Steam in order to make it appear.

This will update your files to the UE 5.3 and DLSS beta build. DLSS will currently automatically enable and configure itself, if supported.

If you run into any issues, please let us know in this thread on the forums: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1520420/discussions/0/4034727620344646253/

Achievement and Logo Updates
In preparation for the new year, we have updated the games logo:



We have also updated each of the game's achievement icons. A few examples of those are listed below:







Autumn Sale
From now until November 28th, The Hopebringer will be available for 52% off, as part of Steam's Autumn Sale.

Happy Halloween - v1.5.7 Patch Is Live
We hope that everyone has a great Halloween. This seemed as good of a time as any to introduce a new Vampire boss type into the game.

Audio

  • Added new coin looting sounds.


NPCs

  • Introduced new Vampire bosses. Vampires are undead melee NPCs, with a powerful life draining bite, and regenerative abilities. They can only be found in night time or planar encounters. They are resistant to disease and poison, but vulnerable to fire. They also feature new particle effects.

v1.5.6 - Auto Gold Looting
We have a small patch today, which introduces automatic proximity looting of gold. Thanks to Shamiah for this suggestion.

From this point forward, gold will automatically be collected whenever you move near it. There is a subtle FX that will also be played when it happens.

The Hopebringer is Half Priced This Week
The Hopebringer will be available at half price this week. The Hopebringer is a single and co-op fantasy based generated dungeon crawler, which is currently in Early Access.
