The world certainly looks more original and evocative, but the combat in these videos looks even more weightless and dull than Avowed.

Goty 2025

Very possible. I would say "highly likely" but we have Monomyth coming out then, and possibly even Outward 2 (I could be dead wrong on this)? And Of Ash and Steel, and Vahrin's Call, and Crimson Desert (it looks cool, okay...). But yes, this game is certainly a strong contender.

EDIT: Also Labyrinth of the Demon King. And some other nifty-looking 1st person crawlers. And Pirate Yakuza. And Dynasty Warriors: Oranges. And The First Berserker: Khazan, Supraworld, Deep State, Gedonia 2, probably Call of Saregnar and Archaelund, Swordhaven...It's gonna be a stacked year.

This actually does look quite a bit better than the footage in that other post.

Starting tomorrow the game will go for $22.50 during the winter sale. With the price increase, that's 50% off the launch price. Probably last chance to get it that cheap.

May/June 1.0 release is earlier than I would've figured, which is slightly worrying.

Did they say how many major areas will be in the final game?

The 1.0 release will probably get kicked down the line to Fall 2025. When are game devs ever on time?

Assume it's three zones for the three acts, excluding the prologue island. Can't find any information to the contrary and GPT claims three zones.

They said:

The full release of Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is planned for May/June. It will include tons of content:

• All 3 acts of the game, including the main story
• An estimated 70–100 hours of content
• A vast, branching main storyline
• TONS of side quests, activities, dungeons, and more

3 acts probably means 3 major areas. 2 are in the game already, yes?

I'm concerned about 70-100 hours of content. That's Skyrim numbers and I don't really see how a small team can achieve it without lots and lots of samey quests and locations.

We'll see, but the game is decent enough even in the current state (baring the amount of quests) to look forward for the release.

Even cheaper than expected.

January Development Update
New year, old us.

Hello, Travelers!

Hope you all had a great holiday season! We certainly did, and after some crazy getting-back-on-track time, we’re now in action, all hands on board. We’ve got some cool news to share about what we’ve been working on recently. As always, there’s tons of more stuff cooking behind the scenes, but here’s a sneak peek at what’s ready (or almost ready) and deserves to be showcased.

As per usual, let’s begin with WoflheartFPS and his video covering all the changes: (...) More in src bellow

Magic schools: You’ll be able to master the arts of 4 different magic schools. These include Kamelot, Druid, Red Priest, and Wild (Wyrdness), each focusing on different types of spells. Let there be wizardry!

Amazing. 4 magic schools to specialize.

Watch the recent development update for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, with fresh new content & systems that have been added to the game! Note that what you see isn't available in the game right now; a part of it will go live with the 0.9 update planned for March, and the rest will be published along with the 1.0 release!

The same as before, this video was also made in cooperation with WolfheartFPS. He'll keep bringing you video overviews of our development updates every month until the 1.0 release! How are you liking the progress so far?
