Greetings Disciples,

We only like it when the Devil is cheating, not the game, so we've pushed a small patch to Rogue Lords that should address a couple of nasty bugs that have been negatively impacting player experience. Let us know how this influences your experience moving forward.

• Fixed an issue in the Fanatic fight in which killing the Fanatic first made its allies invincible on one health bar when it shouldn't.
  
• Fixed a random issue in which statuses and effects could be repeated too many times.
  
• Fixed a softlock linked to the unlock of an achievement for Headless Horseman.

See you in Hell!

Disciples,

Many times the Devil has asked you for your support but there won't be a greater time to earn his praise!

Tonight, our team is thrilled (and a bit scared to be honest) to ask you to consider Rogue Lords for the Steam Award 2021 “Outstanding Visual Style” category, this would mean a lot for everyone who worked on the art and atmosphere of Rogue Lords.

If you purchased the Supporter Pack of Rogue Lords, you probably took a look at our Digital Artbook highlighting the origins of the game, the amazing creations by our artists, and lots of exclusive designs and research for the Disciples, enemies and environments.

Once again, we thank you for the support and feedback you provided us over those last few months!

Dear Disciples,

A month has passed since the launch of Rogue Lords, and we hope that you continue to enjoy your time in the New World sowing chaos and destruction in the name of the Devil!

To celebrate not only the release but also the spookiest time of the year, our team has worked on a new trailer highlighting a few quotes from the press from around the world.

If you haven't replayed Rogue Lords due to difficulty or balancing issues since its launch, we can only recommend that you give another try now! Our latest Balancing Update has addressed a lot of balancing issues between enemies, disciples and relics.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated to see how we can improve the game's experience in the future through additional patches!

On behalf of everyone at Nacon, Leikir & Cyanide Studios, we wish you a devil-ish Halloween (and hope that you will distribute or get a lot of candies ːsteamhappyː).
