đ Dungeons 4 | Update 1.2
The Ultimate Evil greets you, fellow adepts of Evil,
We have just released update 1.2 on Steam, Xbox Game Pass across console and PC Game Pass for PC, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S!
This Update adds four more unlockable perks for Thalya (everything for the Queen of Evil), various new game options like UI scaling, mission and control changes, evil laughter via gamepad as well as performance optimizations.
After even more slaps, the Little Snots have now added the option to disable subtitles â for real this time! And of course, theyâve swung their pickaxes at several other issues (dwarves may have been harmed in the process).
For more details, please check out the full changelog below.
*Insert evil laughter here*
HahahahahâŠ*cough*!
[EDIT December 4th]
[PS5 ONLY] After the recent Dungeons 4 Update 1.2 for PlayStation 5 we’ve received reports that the update causes issues with your PS5 save games. Thus, we decided to stop the distribution of this update on PS5.
In case you haven’t downloaded Update 1.2 to your console yet, it will just take a bit longer until you receive the update in the fixed version.
In case you are affected by the issues reported, we cannot offer an immediate solution right now, but we will be working to fix this as soon as possible. Please bear with us, we will keep you posted.
[EDIT December 5th]
[PS5 ONLY] Good uh… EVIL news: We’ve just re-released Update 1.2 for PlayStation 5. Now everything should work as intended. If you notice any unusual behaviour, please email support(at)kalypsomedia.com.
Thanks for bearing with us!
