Grim Dawn 1.2 Update’s Game-Changing Features and Improved Gameplay

Crate Entertainment has rolled out a substantial update for the action RPG Grim Dawn, marking a significant milestone with the release of version 1.2. Packed with highly anticipated features, this update transforms the gaming experience, offering players a plethora of improvements and innovations that elevate Grim Dawn to new heights.

Choose Your Challenge

One of the most exciting additions in the 1.2 update is the ability for players to level entirely in the difficulty of their choice. Whether opting for the Normal or Veteran difficulty, players can stick to their preferred level of challenge up to the level cap. Defeating the final boss unlocks even more challenging gameplay with the introduction of Elite and Ultimate difficulties.

New Evade Skill and Boss Mechanics

To tackle the heightened challenges of the higher difficulties, a new Evade skill has been introduced. This skill proves crucial when confronting the newly added boss mechanic, Sunder. Players will need to master the art of evasion to overcome powerful attacks and navigate through tricky situations. Health and energy potions have been replaced with dedicated buttons on the HUD, streamlining gameplay and reducing unnecessary inventory bloat.

Shattered Realm Improvements

For players venturing into the Shattered Realm, the 1.2 update brings several enhancements. Exit portals now conveniently appear at the player's location, eliminating the need for tedious searches on the map. Additionally, Shrines in the Shattered Realm have been reworked, offering powerful new effects to enhance the overall gaming experience.
