Gearbox Publishing and developer Counterplay Games will release the \u201cExalted\u201d update for Godfall<\/em> on April 7, which adds a slew of new content, quality of life enhancements, earnable cosmetics, and \u201cevery major fan-requested feature tracked since launch,\u201d the companies announced. <\/p>\n

\u201cGodfall<\/em>\u2018s Exalted update is the culmination of a year and a half of post-launch support and directly speaks to major elements our community has been telling us they want to experience in Godfall<\/em>,\u201d said Counterplay Games game director Daniel Nordlander in a press release. \u201cWe have been tracking this feedback on forums, social media posts, as well as countless streams and videos in an effort to target where we didn\u2019t quite hit player expectations or, at times, even our own. The Exalted Update is not only a thank you to the players that have been with us since day one helping us improve, but offers new players the best moment to jump in and experience the World of Aperion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is an overview of the update\u2019s major changes:<\/p>\n

\n

Valorplate Shards<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Each of the 12 Valorplates now have four unlockable Shards which provide new ways to customize and enhance your playstyle.<\/li>\n
  • For example, through Shards Phoenix can ignite enemies more easily through Wildfire Strike, unleash a cone of fire through her shield, and even resurrect herself!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Ascendant and Exalted Valorplates<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Collecting all four Shards will unlock a Valorplate\u2019s Ascendant form, granting a second passive ability.<\/li>\n
    • After leveling all four shards up to the max level, the Valorplate will become Exalted, granting a third and final passive, as well as unlocking a visually stunning new cosmetic which can be displayed on the Valorplate podium in the Sanctum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Enhanced Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Ravenna and Soras, will now accompany Orin and fight alongside him on certain story missions, as well as providing new dialogue in the Sanctum between missions.<\/li>\n
      • Orin\u2019s twisted brother Macros now has a greater presence throughout the campaign, taunting Orin during story missions and elevating the tension leading up to your epic final confrontation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Overhauled Combat<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • All weapons now come equipped with powerful Timing Attacks that can be unleashed directly after using a weapon technique.<\/li>\n
        • Knockdown 2.0 is one of the most requested features by fans. Players can now unlock a recovery skill that lets them quickly get back into the fight after being knocked down.<\/li>\n

          • However, each Realm Boss now has three captains scattered throughout their realm. Defeating the captains will remove powerful banes that would otherwise make the Realm Boss fight much more challenging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
