New bosses and reworks: Existing bosses have been reworked, and 6 completely new bosses are introduced.

Expanded talents: Each class has its own talent tree, and players will be able to multi-class, boasting over 100 new talents to choose from.

Boss weapons and variants: 22 new weapons, each with a unique skill.

Crafting: Gear can now be dismantled into materials used for crafting items, weapons, or armor.

New game+ improvements: NG+ has been improved to make it more interesting with new enemy variants and modifiers.

Alternate endings: Can you find them all?

. . .
When will the Afterlife update be on PS4?
Port work is ongoing.

Do I have to start a new save file once I have Afterlife?
No. Any old save files should load you in Central Sanctuary after downloading Afterlife. However, a fresh save will allow you to experience new story content that you might miss out on.

Are there more languages coming?
Yes. Translation work is ongoing and we will update with new localizations.

My PS4 controller isn’t working!
Gamemaker (the engine the game is built on) can be finicky with PS4 controllers on PC. We recommend using the DS4 windows utility (http://ds4windows.com/) if you are having problems.

Who composed the music?
The Death’s Gambit sound track was composed by Kyle Hnedak.
Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/kyle-hnedak.
You can buy both the original and Afterlife OST here: https://kylehnedak.bandcamp.com/album/deaths-gambit-afterlife
The full album will also be available for purchase on Steam (TBD).

Is the world of Death’s Gambit non-linear?
Yes. The world of Siradon is interconnected and exploration is encouraged, while your horse will help you traverse long distances across areas at greater speed. A separate Fast Travel will unlock later in the game.

How do Heroic Bosses work?
Heroic bosses only unlock after you've beaten the boss once. Heroic bosses are exponentially harder than their normal versions, with new abilities and more damage. We recommend upgrading your weapons and gear to have a fighting chance against these bosses, but applaud those who will try relentlessly at the first possible opportunity.

How long is Death's Gambit: Afterlife?
Steam reviews say anywhere from 16 - 50+ hours.

Can you speedrun the game?
Yes! Speedruns are very possible and you can join our Speedrunning community down in speedrun-chat on our discord
