Developer Chief Rebel and Coffee Stain Publishing have together announced Fellowship Season 3 has launched, adding a raft of features and updates.
Called “Rise of the Heskyr”, the team is saying this is a major new seasonal update for Fellowship, which is currently in early access on PC.
The developer says: “Available today for players to dive in, Season 3 is packed with content, including new melee DPS hero Gunde, three new Dungeons where players will face off against enemies of the ritualistic faction known as the Heskyr, and a wealth of highly anticipated updates to the game’s core gameplay systems. New Seasonal Challenges are also here, providing players of all levels a satisfying new progression path with rare cosmetics available as rewards.”
“Fellowship Season 3 is our biggest update yet, featuring a host of exciting Heskyr-themed content tailored for both veterans and new players alike, as well as significant gameplay changes based on extensive community feedback. I’m particularly hyped about all the new rewards we’re adding for players to chase down and can’t wait to see people showing them off in game.” said Hamish Bode, Community Director at Chief Rebel. “Fellowship is and always will be shaped by the players, and we can’t wait for fans to jump back in and see how the game feels with all the new and improved systems in place.”
Here’s more of the details:
Gunde – Fellowship’s Latest Berserker Hero: First up is Gunde, a brand new axe-wielding DPS hero inspired by Scandinavian folklore and grounded in the fantasy world of Fellowship. With a signature Rend passive ability befitting of Season 3’s blood theme, Gunde offers a new way to engage enemies, building up bleed stacks over time which can be unleashed to deal huge amounts of damage in one go. Other parts of Gunde’s kit allow for transferring of bleed stacks to priority enemies, targeted crowd control, and more, making him a powerful new hero option for DPS players.
The Heskyr, and Fellowship’s New Dungeons: Headlining the Season 3 update is the Heskyr, a brand new faction built on ritual, devotion, and sacrifice. These bloodthirsty foes worship a corrupt fallen god, and are found throughout Fellowship’s three new Dungeons, each with its own unique blood-themed mechanics. The Ruins of Regath and Scryer’s Peak are single-boss Dungeons perfect for new and returning players, while Xul, The Blood Monolith offers an entirely new multi-boss challenge experience – a first for the game. Designed for Fellowship’s most daring players, The Blood Monolith is a Pinnacle Dungeon unlocked deep into the Eternal rank, offering the game’s greatest challenge yet along with precious high-level items and rare mounts to chase.
Loot 2.0 & Wider Gameplay Improvements: Alongside specific themed content, Season 3 also brings a huge re-work of existing game systems based on community feedback and suggestions. This includes Hero rebalancing, crafting changes, a new Odd Comp queue, as well as Loot 2.0, a new in-depth itemisation system that makes finding gear feel consistently exciting and satisfying again.
Fellowship is in early access on PC now.
