• Release date: September 11th/12th 2025
• Patch notes:

Quality of life improvements

• Improvements to the overworld map: Visual improvements to the overworld map now make exploration more enjoyable and intuitive.
  • It is much easier to recognize which locations are linked via pathways.
  • Each location has a treasure chest counter to let you know how many unopened wooden, copper, silver, and gold chests remain.
  • Quest availability markers now appear in their associated locations so you’ll never get stuck with where you need to go next!
• Reducing the grind: Changes to material drop rates and the in-game economy will speed up progression.
  • We have upped the % drop rate of materials for a significant proportion of enemies which means that you’ll spend less time grinding for the materials you need to craft new equipment and items.
  • We’ve increased the amount of Paw Pennies that you are awarded for completing main quests, and have increased the sell price for all crafted materials deposited in the sell box by 40%.
• Fast travel points: Fast travel improvements will make exploring Canoidera better than ever! 
  • Every fast travel point that you discover now supports two-way travel. This will make it much easier to jump between discovered areas and drastically reduce backtracking. 
  • The entire fast travel ‘network’ has been reworked to focus on key towns and areas which will feel much more logical.
• Resting and time of day: Expanded options for resting will reduce down time. 
  • As there are a number of in-game mechanics that make use of the time of day feature, we’ve expanded the options for resting so that you can now pick to skip forward to either 7 am, 12 noon, and 6 pm when you rest at Thunderbunn Farm.

Balance changes

• Difficulty modes: More modes for different playstyles! 
  • Originally we had a single fixed difficulty which has now been replaced with four different modes which can be changed at any time via the pause menu. 
  • Each mode scales enemy attack and defense values to accommodate different player skill levels.
• Changes to the bow weapon: Justice for bow-wielders.
  • Bows were a little bit underpowered, so we have buffed their damage stat to be more aligned with sword weapons. This means that magic damage calculation is much fairer for bow users who were previously penalised due to the difference in attack values.
• Enemy status effects: Less time waiting around to recover. 
  • We have debuffed the stun, freeze, and poison effects so that you recover faster.

Story and localisation

• Narrative changes: We’ve updated a significant amount of character dialogue to improve the flow of the narrative, and make certain story points clearer.
• Localisation updates: All in-game languages have been updated to reflect the changes that we have made to the English script.

Miscellaneous

• Controller vibration support: Your attacks and spells will feel much more powerful, and you’ll notice the rumbling footsteps of bigger monsters and bosses.
• On boot options: You can now select your language and brightness preferences.

• Additional notes: none.

• Release date: September 16th 2021 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

• Italian language added.
• Moved DLC check to only occur when first entering gameplay from new game or saved game to reduce delay during scene transitions.
• Poison or any DPS status effect will no longer damage or kill you on map transition.
• There will be several adjustments on equipment upgrade, the requirement would be much easier for early-mid game.
• Fixed Siammese text on Vanity Menu.
• Fixed character that suddenly fall down to the darkness (We are not able to reproduce it, so when it happens it would teleport you back to the surface to avoid game breaking). Hopefully, It would also fix the issue where you stuck in some place that has red boundaries while there is no more monster around.
• Fixed Capri and Basil miss-placed tail position and rotation.
• Fixed miss leading several attribute descriptions.

• Additional notes: none.
