Monthly Development Update - August 2021
In June’s monthly Update we gave you an estimate of our timeline. We want to update that today and give you a more accurate ETA for our next content patches.
We initially planned to release our next content patch in the September/October timeframe, but to keep our estimation as realistic as possible, we expect this content patch to be released around the end of October/early November. This additional time will give us the opportunity to use and analyze the feedback we gathered after the release of Arise regarding summons, as well as polishing the new end-game activities planned for our next Content Patch.
In addition, we will try to have bug fixing patches pushed frequently in-between content patches, ideally weekly, if our production cycle and the substance of these patches justify a release.
Wolcen's primary goal was always to create a game where players can build any kind of hero they want, and we want to keep this in mind while designing our future features. Whilst we work on the new end-game activities for the upcoming content patch we are considering ways to facilitate new, fun, innovative, and diverse builds. With that in mind, we want to make sure that you, our community, are involved in the process and helping us make an even better game.
In that regard, we want to make sure that you, our community, are involved in this process and, thanks to you, helping us make an even better game.
Thus, we wish to know what your favorite playstyle is, what crazy build you have played, or ideas of builds that you would love to try out. Feel free to share those in the comments, or on our Official Discord.
Our goals are clear and we want to reiterate where our focus is:
- We want to keep improving the core of the game by implementing more frequent bug-fixing patches.
- We want to give you more activities in the end-game so you have fun no matter whether you are min-maxing, chasing gear, or just slaying to your heart's content.
- We want to give you more build diversity to allow for fun and unique build ideas to emerge and be viable in the late stages of the game.
Wolcen Studio keeps growing in size, and some amazingly talented people have joined us to make this all possible, and we will keep on working towards those goals while keeping you all in the loop to make sure we're going in the right direction.
Thank you again for your continued support!

Monthly Development Update - July 2021
We released Wolcen: Arise on July 26th and wanted to use July’s Monthly Development Update to give you more details on what we have planned for the Summons.
With Wolcen: Arise, Summons now scale with your character. Here is a list of what Summons currently scale with:
- Weapon Damage;
- Ailment Damage;
- Total Attributes Bonus Damage;
- Skill’s Flat Damage Bonus (Gems, XX damage on spells..);
- Skill’s Damage (%damage, %spell damage, %projectile damage…);
- Skill’s Bonus Damage Type Percentage (%material/elemental/occult damage);
- Skill’s Bonus Specific Damage Type Percentage (%fire/lightning/aether... damage); -
Note: There is currently an issue preventing the tooltip from showing these increases, but the summons do scale with these affixes, we’ll address this tooltip issue as soon as possible - Projectile Count.
Based on your feedback and how well the summons perform both in the story and in end-game expeditions, we plan on tweaking what they already scale with, as well as having them scale with more affixes and bonuses, such as:
- Better scaling per level;
- Scaling with the character's attributes:
- Spellcasting speed having an impact on the summons' attack speed.
- Summons benefiting from the player’s crit chance.
- Summons gaining a health bonus from the player's +%health.
- Pierce strength
We also wanted to give you more information on other features that we are working on, starting with the new end-game activities and rewards system.
Our goal is to give you more things to do in end-game, this is why we are designing new end-game activities with several levels of difficulty that will affect the number of enemies, the timer to complete the activity, the HP of the enemies, etc... We will also include a targeted rewards system to give you better control over what kind of equipment you'll get. Here are a couple of examples of these activities:
- Conquer - Arena: Reach key locations and conquer them by killing waves of enemies;
- Interact - Kill: Interact with entities to trigger a boss fight;
- Hold - Defend: Kill enemies while defending civilians;
- Timer - Kill: Kill the target, you can also complete a secondary objective before the end of the timer to obtain more rewards.
These are just a few examples of what we are currently working on, and, while these might not all be included in our next content patch, our goal is to design and create enough of them to give you a lot of choices in what activities to run in the end-game. All these activities will fit in the lore of Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem and feature different Biomes and sub-biomes, with their own ambiance and enemies type.
One of the things we are also working on currently and plan on adding to our next content patch is the non-damaging skills scaling. Here are the skills we are looking at and how they would scale:
- Blood for Blood
The duration of the buff would scale with the level of the skill.
- Bulwark of Dawn
The amount of healing would scale with the level of the skill.
- Mark of Impurity
The bonus damage from the mark would scale with the level of the skill.
- Sovereign Shout
The duration of the buff would scale with the level of the skill.
Lastly, we wanted to reiterate that our goal is to keep improving Wolcen with your feedback in mind, and we want to continue our efforts by giving you more things to do in end-game, more build variety by working on balancing, new items and affixes, and improving the overall quality of the game by working on its core.
If you want to help us do that, you can leave us suggestions and feedback in the comments, or on our Official Discord.
Thank you for your support.

This content patch brings:
- The Summons Revamp,
- New environments,
- New skills’ damage type variations,
- A New Cosmetic Armor,

We worked on massive changes to how summons look, behave and feel.
If you want more details on what we have planned for our next content patches, feel free to check June’s Monthly Development Update.
Here are the full Patch Notes for Wolcen: Arise.
Thank you again for your support.
- Complete cosmetic revamp
Models, animations, and visual effects have been entirely redone for all summons and every damage type variant.

Hunting Swarm summons now benefit from your additional projectiles, your %projectile damage…
Note: As scaling is a matter of balancing, we will use your feedback on the current state of the summons in order to fine-tune how they scale with particular affixes, thus, we will keep working on balancing the summons in the upcoming content patches.

Delaying Wolcen: Arise.
As you may know from June’s Monthly Development Update, we initially planned on releasing Wolcen: Arise early to mid-July. We’ve also stated that the ETAs we announced in our timeline might be subject to changes if we feel we need more time for a feature to be ready, which is the case for Wolcen: Arise and the Summons Revamp.
We are really looking forward to presenting you all our work on the Summons Revamp, and to be able to ship it in its best form, we decided to take some extra time for playtesting and polishing. Thus the update is delayed to next week.
Delaying is never an easy thing to do, but we strongly believe it is the best decision to make. This extra time will allow us to go deeper in the final playtesting phase and provide you all with a better game experience overall.
Thank you all for your understanding.
