Slay monsters. Defeat epic bosses. Collect magical gear. Become a Warlock and save the universe.
Hi guys!
After almost a week since the game’s release on Steam Early Access during which the game was selling better than big AAA titles out there, the first update for Warlocks is here and other than adding several improvements to the gameplay it also changes its name. Warlocks is now Warlocks vs Shadows!
Warlocks sure did get some attention from gamers all over the world. That’s quite a success for us! Gamers enjoy the game massively rewarding it with almost only positive reviews on Steam. On the other hand there were quite some complains about… the game’s title. So with the first update we decided not only to add several improvements but also change the name from Warlocks into Warlocks vs Shadows.
The decision was made to meet gamers expectations. Players pointed out that the name is a bit too general and with many other things out there having something to do with some kind of ‘Warlocks’ (there’s a rock band of that name even!) it was sometimes a bit hard to immediately find information about the game. So to avoid further confusion and to show that gamers’ opinion is important to the team, we decided to turn Warlocks into Warlocks vs Shadows.
We believe that the new name reflects better what the game really is.. You play as one of warlocks, you slay hordes of shadow enemies and you can do it not only in single player but also in a co-op and versus mode. Also there won’t be any better time for this change as the game keeps getting gamers and media attention. So we wanted to use this opportunity and give the game a new name while it’s still in Early Access.
