Please keep in mind that everything presented is still subject to change until its release.

Season 2: Era of Darkness and the Supporter Pack DLC will both be releasing at:
So you can save the date. Of course there will be a leaderboard reset with the start of Season 2.

We have plans for a release event with the start of Season 2, where we will share further details very soon.

Scattered across the forsaken lands of Ankerath you will find relics of time itself. Just waiting to release the sands of time.

Sandfall is a time based world event where enduring within the event area will let you collect sands of time. Acumulate sand and trade this new currency into precious and powerful items. Some with beyond ordinary quality, which will grant you a high chance to receiving multiple duplicates of the same item or weapons and trinkets with higher stat rolls and crafting potential.

But beware the longer you endure the more devastating sandfall can become. You can exit the event area anytime but beware once your character gets defeated all sand vanishes like the time itself.


Era of Darkness Content Update is a free content update!
Despite the size being more leaning towards a DLC, we do not want to fracture the playerbase, nor following the meta of setting buying incentives by making new content "stronger".
We are just two persons loving ARPGs and Roguelites who want to craft the best gaming experience we can, balancing the game to our vision.

We decided to rather work on a Supporter Pack DLC where we can implement all the fun ideas for purely cosmetic non gameplay affecting cosmetics.

Currently there are already over 28 unique cosmetics. These cosmetics will allow to customise your character appearance and add unique visual twists to Striving for Light.

The Supporter Pack DLC is now available to wishlist:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4606350/Striving_for_Light__Supporter_Pack_DLC/

6.99$ / 7,19€

The Supporter Pack DLC is meant for those that wish to support the future development of Striving for Light.

We want to say thank you to every single one playing and supporting Striving for Light and our vision!



You will be able to access the cosmetics from conveniently everywhere within the stats menu. If you wish to change your appearence mid map you are able to do this with a few clicks not interrupting the gameflow.


We will share the full patch notes when moving closer to the era of darkness release date 24th of April.

We are currently aiming to release the Era of Darkness Content Update at:
So you can already save the date. Of course there will be a leaderboard reset with the start of Season 2.

The content update will bring new skills to the extensive roster of build possibilities.

Each melee hit unleashes a volcanic eruption spreading a burning AoE field, setting enemies on fire and applying burning condition, which has a 50% chance to replicate up to 2 times.

Your range attacks unleash your projectiles as continuous barrage instead of an instant attack and spread in chaotic movement. You gain +3 additional projectiles.

Opening up even more build variety to take on the new challenges that await you in the Era of Darkness content update.


You might have asked yourself how the cosmetic system will work, and what cosmetics will be available on the upcoming Supporter Pack DLC.

You will be able to access the cosmetics from conveniently everywhere within the stats menu. If you wish to change your appearence mid map you are able to do this with a few clicks not interrupting the gameflow.

There are 5 categories of cosmetics that will come with the suporter pack DLC.

• Character Back Attachements (yes including wings)
  
• Character Auras
  
• Footstep Effects
  
• Minipets
  
• Boss Finisher Effects

Ever wished to have a capibara following you into the darkness and some bringt wings, footsteps and aura that spend you some light? Well soon you will.

Ever wanted to rip bosses apart when defeating them. The finisher cosmetics will exactly allow that among other fun effects like making bosses vanish into butterflies.

Or perhabs your desire your druid to be bound to nature even more, by root back attachements, flowery footsteps and and a magic butterfly minipet.

But maybe your character does not look terrifying enough and you desire your appearance to be more ... dark.

Currently there are already over 25 unique cosmetics and the amount keeps growing daily. These cosmetics will allow to customise your character appearance and add unique visual twists to Striving for Light. Furthermore, the Supporter Pack DLC is meant for those that wish to support the future development of Striving for Light.
