The Palace of Ice DLC for Solasta: Crown of the Magister was released this evening. As our users quickly discerned, while the new campaign does see the return of the Soraks, the primary antagonists appear to be their new demonic allies. With Palace of Ice, Tieflings and Gnomes are now available as playable races, and the accompanying patch increases the game's level cap to 16. That means a host of new high level abilities, which Tactical Adventures described in a thorough development update last month. Interestingly, the new patch also features a significant overhaul of Solasta's itemization, including crafting mechanics and item distribution in the original campaign's shops. A sampling of some of the new high level abilities is described by Myzzrym in the community video released alongside the DLC's launch trailer.


The Palace of Ice DLC is available on Steam and GOG for $15, as befits what is clearly Solasta's most substantial DLC yet. The patch notes for the accompanying update are available here. It probably truly is the final DLC this time, since Tactical Adventures also put together a new Lightbringers Edition which includes all four in a single package. I wonder what they'll do next. A sequel, or something entirely new?
