Ho ho ho! The Christmas clawers are back, with their best outfits yet!
Hello Warriors!
We hope you're okay for the holidays season! At Ishtar Games, the celebrations have definitely started already with our traditional Christmas tree!
(Pictured: people of Ishtar Games who love the holidays season)
However, not everything we made for the holidays is so cute.
This thing is called "Georgio", and yes, it's terrifying when it's the first "person" you see in the morning in the office.
But since the holidays spirit is something we want to share with you all, we thought we might give you a liiiiittle something for this season!
CHRISTMAS CLAWERS ARE BAAAAAAACK
We wanted to celebrate the holidays season with you, and what better way than having some VERY special clawers to bring gifts to you? (the gift being death and destruction)
And for this year, we have even more seasonal clawers than before. Are you prepared to spot them all?
(Yes, we believe he's cute, please don't hurt his feelings)
We've heard that if you were good heroes this year, we miiight have a "throwback" present for you all right after the holidays. This should make some of the early fans of The Last Spell very happy ;)
So, have fun with our very special clawers (we know you're going to obliterate them with violence though), and enjoy the holidays!
Changelog:
Seasonal Clawers can be part of the hordes of enemies! (Cosmetic only, no special effect)
Fixed an issue where loading a save would change the visual aspect of enemies.
Share your best Christmas Clawers on our Discord server!
We invite you to come to our Discord server and share your best screenshots of those Christmas Clawers!
We'll repost our favourite ones next month!
And yes, we're very much working hard on DLC2, and we will have more info about it in January!
This should be our very last blogpost for this year! We want to thank you for your incredible support in 2024, and we hope you'll love what we're cooking for next year!
Take care <3
DLC 2 - Teaser trailer
Hello survivors!
We hope you're okay! We know we've kept you in the dark for a while this year, and we're very sorry about that. Our goal is to be transparent about the future of the development of the future DLCs of the game and beyond.
As it's soon Christmas, we wanted to do a little something before the celebrations officially start. Please note that this is NOT the "little surprise" we teased you with earlier this week.
Since we know you're waiting for DLC 2 of The Last Spell, we wanted to give you a little something.
We're working hard on it, and it's still coming next spring, along with the "Apocalypse 2.0".
So there you go, now you know that Elves will be the new race coming to The Last Spell next spring! Any theories about them?
Take care <3
Patch 1.1.4.6
Hello Heroes!
A small hotfix today, fixing the black screen issue that some of you encountered after the "save slot" update.
Fixed an issue where a black screen would appear after selecting "Main Menu" during a run to save your progress.
Added a security to the loading process when loading the current slot selected
Also, if your current save seems corrupted, please follow this process :
1.Navigate to the following directory: %Appdata%/../LocalLow/Ishtar Games/The Last Spell/Save/Steam/your_steam_id/
2.If the save you are trying to fix was on Save Slot 1, follow these steps: • Locate the save file in the Profile1\Broken folder. • Rename the save files to: o AppSave.bin o GameSave.bin • Move the renamed files into the main Profile1 folder.
3.Relaunch the game and verify the fix. Don't forget to update your game!

The future of The Last Spell: new Roadmap revealed!
Hello survivors!
It's been a while since we gave you big news about The Last Spell, and we're very excited to finally give you some updates about the future of the game!
What's next for The Last Spell?
Our main goal since the beginning of early access has always stayed the same: how can we improve the game even more as we listen to the community and bring new content that we want to make for the game?
This is why, for the past few months, we've been working tiredlessly on the game, tweaking and searching which ideas would be the most exciting for players, new and veterans!
Aaaand we're VERY happy to finally be able to present you the 2025 Roadmap for The Last Spell!!
The Last (?) Roadmap!!!
With this roadmap, you can be sure that there's still quite a lot more to come for The Last Spell in the coming months ;)
I'm sure you have about a million questions about this new roadmap, but don't worry, all questions will be revealed when the time comes.
Now, a few notes about it to give you juuust a bit more info:
We want each DLC to bring a free update that will make it exciting for all players to return to the game.
Oh, and that Apocalypse 2.0 thing? Yeah, we're doing it. Trust me, it's going to be THAT good.
As for the modding, we know some of you played with quite a lot of them on Nexus Mods ;) But we still want to bring more "official" mod support. We'll have more to reveal about mods later.
Without telling you too much about it, the "Late 2025 DLC" will be VERY different from Dwarves of Runenberg and the next DLC.
Save Slots: November 2024!!
And since a surprise never comes alone, we have an upcoming update for next month: the save slots!!
This feature was requested quite a lot, and next month, you'll be able to have several save slots at the same time in the game. You won't need to delete your entire progress as much now!!
I think that was all for today! Take care of yourselves <3
We need your help!
Hello Heroes,
We are working hard on what's next for The Last Spell and we need your help! More specifically, we have a few questions for you about the Apocalypse system and your overall thoughts on it!
A few days ago, The Last Spell crossed the incredible threshold of 10 000 reviews on Steam! We never believed this could be possible for one of our games and we are forever grateful that you changed everything for us.
Thank you for your support since the launch in Early Access, we are planning even more things for you in the future!
Stay tuned 🔥
