Shores Unknown: Second Content Update Preview

[b]Greetings, Mercenaries![/b] The work on the next big content update is in full motion. Today we would like to share a little preview of what you can expect once the update hits, and a surprise sale! A merchant special - this week only - 30% off. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34782113/2e665708bc1081188729bd2891b265f129fc0510.gif[/img] As the main story continues beyond the point we left off during the previous update, the breadcrumb trail leads your team to a sprawling port city of Carrines Bay, where you'll have to track down and confront a mysterious figure only known by their alias — the Alchemist. Carrines Bay is a city of many connections. Being the center of the Kingdom’s trade, it brings together people of widely different backgrounds and motivations. It has no shortage of potential new allies, adversaries and perhaps a few guests from the long-forgotten past… You will also be able to experience your comrades’ stories in the new Character quests. Get to know people you fight alongside with a little better! And as exciting as it may be to explore an unfamiliar city, you shouldn’t forget about the places you’ve already visited. Something interesting might be happening there too...

New classes include, but not limited to: [b]Minstrel[/b] Proficient with both the bow and the way of the word — Minstrel uses their skill with bow to strengthen supporting abilities of Bardic Lore. [b]Vindicator[/b] Supporting class that enables you to heal allies every time the Vindicator blocks incoming damage with a shield. [b]Battle Mage[/b] A fighter who uses physical attacks to weaken the enemy and finishes them off with a charged up magical attack. [b]And many more![/b] [h3]New major location: City of Carrines Bay[/h3] The city itself is divided into four expansive sections, each with its own unique architecture, activities and smaller sub-locations. [b]Outskirts[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34782113/fffbbbdb0580ee907122a42e1482ab106cadfe13.png[/img] Home for farmers, peasants and those who have a distaste for the stone walls of the city proper, Outskirts is a developing region of Carrines Bay. And since it's not currently restricted, Outskirts draw all kinds of travelers, honest merchants... and the shadier kind. [b]Central Ward[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34782113/23c3c12a006aab2192fe409eecffe0c0f1441fae.png[/img] The oldest part of Carrines Bay and the most developed one, the Central Ward is the heart of the city. Everything the civilized big city life has to offer can be found here: Countless shops and market stalls, cafés, and plenty of intrigue under the surface! [b]Harbour[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34782113/0cc49563af1dbfd2dfac422ca3216ad8382d6e69.png[/img] The Crown Guard doesn't risk to come here unless its absolutely necessary. While the Harbour is technically a part of Carrines Bay, it seems more like an independent state with its own rules and those who enforce it. This part of the city is controlled by the infamous criminal organization called The Syndicate. [b]Trade Ward[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34782113/e835405889f4e4c36e49693ba397c7d8f2fc54fc.png[/img] The Trade Ward is a place fully controlled by the Trading Guild — the wealthiest organization in the Kingdom. Any and all curiosities and goods from around the world are shipped here to be sold by the merchants affiliated with the Guild. [h3]Character Quests[/h3] Experience personal stories of your teammates, find out what happened to them in the past and what drives them in the present. [h3]New missions and challenges[/h3] Over a dozen additional side quests and little activities, both in Carrines Bay and elsewhere. The time draws closer, Mercenaries. We'll meet in Carrines Bay soon! https://store.steampowered.com/app/899460/Shores_Unknown/
