Summum Aeterna – Ver. ??? (The Witcher Awakening)

Release date: December 14th 2023 (North America, Europe)
Patch notes:

New weapon type: Ornaments

New weapons have been added to the already wide and varied arsenal of the King of Darkness. Between swords, scythes, and pistols, now we can choose ornaments, magical artifacts with a destructive capacity that will delight his dar majesty (and also his followers).

Now players will be able to unlock this new type of weapon in the Famished Town forge and enjoy its 10 variants. Each of these ornaments features a unique design and attack patterns, in addition to the possibility of being ascended to the Summum level to unleash their full destructive potential.

The ascension diagrams can be obtained by performing certain feats with ornaments or completing specific missions… Everything will depend on the particular weapon.

With the inclusion of ornaments, a new weapon progression tree has also been added to the Starving City forge. Improve the attributes of this new type of weapon in each of the 8 branches and achieve the best performance in combat. A new gene called “Witchcraft” has also been added that increases the damage the King of Darkness does when wearing ornaments.
