Absolum – Ver. 1.1 (Threads of Fate)

• Release date: Early 2026
• Patch notes:

---

No patch notes available yet. This update brings the following to the game:

New Challenges

• Our new Mystic Ordeals allow you to challenge yourself, as well as other Rebels around the world. After defeating the final foe (you know the one), Rebels will find new pre-set ordeals, delivering an additional layer of challenge on top of a regular playthrough.
• In addition, as well as defeating increasingly difficult pre-made ordeals, you can customise your own challenge, and share your unique code with the world.

An Evolving World

• While you may have encountered randomised portals across your travels, these have now been absorbed by the very land of Talamh itself. Rebels will now face corrupted regions, visible within Maugis’ map. These new corrupted regions will contain stronger enemies, and will provide daring Rebels with greater rewards along your journey.
• Choose your trail wisely to avoid or maximise these corrupted regions along your path. Rebels will also be able to alter the frequency of these corrupted lands through the new Mystic Ordeals – including corrupting the whole of the world should Rebels fancy.

Upgraded Mounts

• Our new mount breeding programme has been incredibly successful, and we are happy to say that Rebels will also find new Elite mounts out in the world as well. Bigger, better, faster, stronger, and with new ways of dealing death to the Crimson Order.
• Saddle up and get ready for the ride of your life! Elite mounts also come with upgraded attacks to help you power through the awaiting hordes. Find your new favourite not-quite-tameable best friend in the wilds of a region near you, coming soon!

New Skins and Emotes

• We know that you rebels are always looking for new ways to get to know each other and communicate in game. Our new in-game emotes come with their own slice of style, and some of them even now come with their own unique voice lines, as well. Rebels can select their emote pack when choosing their hero at the campfire, to facilitate a little more communication among our Rebel cells.
• In addition, you’ll also find each of our heroes now come with new skins which players can unlock through the sacred tree, or by completing challenges. Put a new stamp on your favourite hero with new designs available to unlock in game.

Absolum – Ver. 1.0.3

• Release date: October 30th/31st 2025
• Patch notes:

---

• We have fixed a soft-lock where Azra knocking companions off screen would hinder transitions 
• Fixed a soft-lock where counter-clashing Azra explosions would lead to an infinite clash loop
• Fixed an issue where overpressuring would lead to infinite overpressure
• We’ve stopped adding chamomile and lavender to the Chicken feed (and so they will now enrage as intended)
• Fixed a transition issue in the Mowlai Village to prevent out-of-bounds issues
• We’ve fixed the visual issue where save slots would not reach 100% (the issue here was just the display – no content was actually locked)
• We’ve also given all companions a pep talk to boost their bravery – meaning they can no longer be dismissed by Morta Mima
• We’ve also fixed an exploit centred around Brome’s ultimate and the Chaos Past Echo ritual
