The new DLC for Vagrus – the Riven Realms is releasing sometime this year. At the Heart of Ruin is the second expansion for the game. It offers a tight but multi-layered and dense region. One that's fraught with conflict and rich with opportunities.

In the game, players take on the role of a vagrus - a caravan leader who strives to survive in a strange and perilous dark fantasy world by leading a traveling company on all kinds of ventures. This time around they'll have to brave the forsaken paths of this broken realm as they're challenged not only by new foes and villains, but also by the very nature one must traverse the mountainous terrain.

A Perilous Land

The upcoming DLC for Vagrus – the Riven Realms takes players to a land that's more perilous than most. It's been stripped of any semblance of civility and brings with it a host of new opportunities and perils await.

The realm is remote, inhospitable, and mountainous. It's cursed with unbearable heat that's ravaged by mad scavenger gangs and prowled by abominable creatures. This is why those who face the suffocating air and deadly terrain that characterizes the landscape are often called fools. However, there are riches aplenty here with a buried history spanning millennia to boot.

New content and features include:

  • A fresh, dangerous region unfettered from Imperial dominance and brimming with peril.
  • A dark narrative adventure with several overarching stories as well as shorter adventures.
  • Deep quests with multiple outcomes and a plethora of personalities.
  • Many new opportunities and challenges for traders, mercenaries, and explorers.
  • A host of new enemies, be they crazed scavengers or creatures cursed beyond recognition.
  • A large cast of NPCs, some new and some old, who can be a part of the story.
  • New minor factions the likes of which few vagri have ever had the chance to befriend or fight against.
  • New obstacles, rewards, lore, and more of the signature visual art.
