Master all five weapon classes, each with their own play styles and a variety of longswords, polearms, warhammers, greatswords, and dual blades. Once you’ve reached level 50, power up beyond the level cap to obtain new Ascension Powers and bonuses.

Take on the Epic Campaign in Single-Player and Co-op

Adventure across the three elemental realms of Aperion alone or with up to two other players as you battle towards the final confrontation with the twisted fallen knight, Macros. Then take on Moirax and the Flameblood Tribe in the deadly Fire Realm from the Fire & Darkness Expansion. The Exalted Update brings a host of story updates and enhancements making the experience more immersive than ever.

The Tinkerer’s Dream

An Array of Rewarding Endgame Activities

Test your limits against increasingly ferocious enemies in the Ascended or Exalted Tower of Trials, all in the pursuit of legendary gear. Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X players can all jump into endgame matchmaking together.

Instantly Boost Your Player Level to Max Level

And here’s an overview of the major changes coming in the Exalted Update, Godfall‘s largest free update to date, which launches on all platforms alongside Godfall: Ultimate Edition on April 7:

Valorplate Shards

– Each of the 12 Valorplates now have four unlockable Shards which provide new ways to customize and enhance your playstyle.

Ascendant and Exalted Valorplates

– Collecting all four Shards will unlock a Valorplate’s Ascendant form, granting a second passive ability.
– 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.

Experience Godfall‘s Enhanced Campaign
– 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.

Reworked Realm Bosses

– The Sigil mechanic has been removed in favor of streamlining how Realm Bosses work. Now players can challenge Realm Bosses as soon as the story allows.
