Coffee Stain Publishing and developer Chief Rebel have together announced a big update for online dungeon adventure game, Fellowship.
This is the Season 2 update, which is the “first major seasonal update” for Fellowship, which is currently in Steam Early Access. There are two brand new heroes (Aeona, and Xavier), as well as a new onboarding zone for newcomers to play.
First up, here’s the details and a video for Aeona:
Aeona is a beautiful and elegant immortal who became mortal to fight alongside her beloved, and her presence on the battlefield is nothing short of miraculous. Where other healers scramble to react, Aeona bends time itself, delaying incoming damage to give her team the precious seconds they need to survive. Cool, calculated, and always one step ahead, she plays less like a traditional healer and more like a damage dealer whose offensive aggression is what keeps her allies alive.
Next up is Xavien:
Xavier is the paladin you call when everything is falling apart. The ultimate clutch player, he’s a sword-wielding tank who steps in with powerful healing abilities to pull his team back from the brink. His synergy with Aeona makes the pair genuinely formidable. Her ability to stagger incoming damage gives Xavier the window he needs to identify who needs saving most, and act before it’s too late.
“We’ve been listening closely to our community throughout Early Access, and Season 2 is where we continue to address their feedback directly, but at a larger scale” said Hamish Bode, Community Director at Chief Rebel. “We’ve had a look at player progression and made amendments to make things flow much better, on top of introducing new rewards for our veteran players. We’ve also made sure that new players that aren’t necessarily familiar with the MMO-based dungeon crawling mechanics get a chance to ease themselves in and properly learn Fellowship’s core gameplay loop without added pressure.”
Finally, we’ve got info on the new zone, Woodland Glade:
The Glade is an open map without the structure of a Dungeon where players will be able to play solo or together with strangers, fighting individual mobs and learning their Hero’s abilities without the high stakes of clearing a Dungeon. There is no timer, no bosses, and no chest – just a drop-in/drop-out, instant queue experience that doesn’t rely on the holy class trinity or even other players at all.
Fellowship is in early access on PC via Steam now.
