The Fallen Update is Here!
The Fallen Update is here!
Meet The Fallen, explore the completely redesigned UI, experience our new Survivor AI, and get ready for Halloween with new skins and gameplay changes.
Here's everything included in this update for Damned 2.
THE FALLEN
A new monster joins the hunt.
The Fallen brings a new set of mechanics to Damned 2. She can raise pillars from the ground to block passages, throw boulders to knock survivors down, and summon statues to expand her area of surveillance. She can also command her statues to march toward the nearest survivor, putting them under pressure and forcing them to keep moving.
Survivors can use a crowbar to destroy her pillars and statues, buying themselves some time. But don't mistake this for a way to fight back. In Damned 2, survivors are still defenseless against monsters. Every second spent dealing with The Fallen's abilities is another second they need to survive.
A COMPLETELY REDESIGNED UI
We've completely redesigned the game's interface, including the main menu, lobby, character selection, collection, and end-game screens.
The new UI gives Damned 2 a fresh look while bringing a consistent visual style across the game.
INTRODUCING THE CROWBAR
The crowbar is a new gameplay mechanic in Damned 2, giving survivors a new way to interact with the environment.
Use it to break physical objects, wooden planks, pillars, and The Fallen's statues. It opens up new possibilities during a match, and we may expand its uses with additional mechanics in the future.
NEW SURVIVOR AI & IMPROVED MONSTER AI
For the first time in Damned 2, AI-controlled survivors are joining the game.
They can explore maps, search for items, break planks, revive downed teammates, and flee from monsters. They also take part in Relic Hunt, collecting relics and bringing them to the elevator.
Monster AI has also received significant improvements. Our goal is to make monsters behave more like real players, reacting more naturally to situations and using their abilities more effectively.
There's still room for improvement, but this update is a big step forward for both sides of the hunt.
NEW SKINS TO COLLECT
We've added two new flashlight skins inspired by The Fallen, along with a collection of crowbar skins.
There are seven crowbar skins in total, including the default skin. One of the skins, the Candle Holder, lights up after hitting something.
THE HALLOWEEN EVENT
Halloween has arrived in Damned 2!
All maps now feature Halloween decorations, bringing a different atmosphere to your next hunt.
The event also features an exclusive crowbar skin, available through the Halloween event.
MORE IMPROVEMENTS
Alongside the major additions, this update also includes:
- Monster balance adjustments.
- Map layout and navigation improvements.
- Two new animated banners to unlock.
- Fixed an issue that caused VOIP to stop working between matches.
- Numerous bug fixes and general gameplay improvements.
We hope you enjoy this update!
Thanks for playing Damned 2 and supporting our work.
See you in the hunt!
