Hello everyone! Last month we released the [b]Path of Destinies Update[/b] which received such a great reception, so many of you kept playing the game much more than any previous updates! About previous Update, community member Andreiyutzzzz already beat Destiny Level 45 which we thought would take much longer to happen. We are sure DL 54 will fall at some point! [b]Next Update will be coming late August and it will be about Summons and other things. [/b] But First -- [h1]Ayla Figure & Backer Statues[/h1] We received our first [b]Ayla Figure figures from Limited Run Games[/b] and they are [b]absolutely splendid[/b]! It was a real challenge with Key Art by [url=https://boello.art/]Boell Oyino[/url], sculpting by [url=https://www.graphigaut.fr/sculpture/]Graphigaut[/url] and manufacturing by [url=https://limitedrungames.com/]Limited Run Games[/url]. We are really happy about how it turned out! Here are pictures, a 360 video and a video showing the box that you will receive!

[b]Backers statues are going to disappear even sooner from the [url=https://astral-ascent.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders#store]Backerkit Store[/url], so if you want your portrait in the Pantheon, this is last call![/b] [img]https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/041/707/553/678b67fc6f40f6327b55b6248fae8e6d_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1690112993&gif-q=50&q=92&s=d0cf86f1bb8b47dff2ef26e5695c9760[/img] [h1]Next Update Preview [/h1]One of the main elements of next Update is the summons. We are going to add effects to summons so they can be part of your builds - [list] [*] Taurus - Spirit Swords [*] Pisces - Ice Swords [*] Kiran - Embers [*] Calie - Plasma Portals [*] etc. [/list] [img]https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/041/707/663/835abdd700d446ff66fca97b109c0753_original.gif?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1690114944&gif-q=50&q=92&s=30820ed50ab6381b4c64f1d4c7eccf6a[/img] We are also [b]going to add many new Echoes, from 15 to 31[/b] and most of them are super fun to use!

On the other hand we are working on the final release version and it is going to be worth the wait! [b]We really went as big as possible for the final boss[/b]! [b]Narration is also a very big topic for us for the final release[/b], we want to find nice endings for each stories and we have changed some elements, added variations, created new types of conversations (for example heroes now have discussions with other heroes but there is many other new things). Finally we have also [b]started reworking game introduction and creating a new tutorial[/b] for the game. These elements should only be available for final release but at least you know a bit more what is going on behind the scene. Oh and we received Steamdeck compatible verification!
