Developer Neocore Games has announced that the 2.0 update, the much-anticipated overhaul for the ARPG Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor – Martyr is set to be released on the 28th of May.
Martyr was released for on PC June 18th, 2018 with mixed reception from critics and players alike. In my review of Martyr, I gave the game a not-so-impressive 6/10 but noted that with further updates, this could be a competent ARPG. The 2.0 update is aiming to be just that.
The 2.0 update will rework pretty much every aspect of the game including combat, progression, loot system, co-op, and endgame. According to the developers, the aim of the patch is to “elevate Martyr’s qualities to be more in-line with the traditions of the ARPG genre”.
Here is an overview of what to expect from Martyr 2.0:
– Faster, smoother gameplay experience for all three playable classes
– Progression system rebuilt from scratch
– Level cap increased from 80 to 100
– Story Campaign, Seasons 1 & 2 are now playable in online co-op (2-4 players)
– Expanded and revised loot system (new item tier, new item types, new enchants)
– Expanded and revised crafting
– New end-game modes
– Other quality of life improvements
-And many more
