As an old-school gamer with over three decades of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming “Night of Falling Stars” update for Mirthwood. Having played countless RPGs since the days of the original Ultima series, I’ve seen it all – from swords to sorcery, dragons to dungeons, and everything in between. But what draws me to this game is its unique blend of medieval fantasy and modern-day mechanics that cater to the discerning gamer like myself.

As an avid fan, I’m thrilled to share that Bad Ridge Games has unveiled the initial content update for their immersive medieval fantasy RPG, Mirthwood! This captivating game made its grand debut on Steam in November 2024, exclusively for PC gamers. In line with their commitment to deliver a multitude of patches and content updates, as outlined in their Development Roadmap, I can’t wait to delve back into the magical world of Mirthwood!

According to the present plan, Mirthwoord’s developers have scheduled a special Holiday-themed update, titled “Night of Falling Stars,” for December 2024. This update will bring players an enriched game story through new quests, an overhauled battle system, a more extensive World Map, and fresh cosmetic items, among other features.

As stated in an official announcement, the “Night of Falling Stars” update brings a fresh narrative: “The aristocracy of Turien is preparing to flaunt their wealth by hosting the grandest masquerade ball ever – the Starlight Ball. You’ve received a formal invitation to this event; but it seems that the mysterious host might have hidden agendas to reveal, and you must uncover them, as well as untangle the web of secrets surrounding the night’s attendees.

In this update, the developer has added various themed cosmetics that come with an array of fashionable clothes, stylish hairdos, and numerous hats. Players can now dress up extravagantly for the upcoming masquerade event. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to modify their character’s appearance using a Magic Mirror and a new vanity slot specifically designed for helmets. This way, they can showcase their elaborate headpieces while retaining the defensive properties of their original helmets.

In addition to progressing the storyline with exciting new quests, this update introduces a variety of fresh crops to Mirthwood for players to cultivate. These new plants open up a host of recipes to create tantalizing dishes. If you’re a fan of a good cup of tea, you’ll be thrilled to hear that teas are now available in this update, along with the Beekeeping system to harvest honey, beeswax, and other unique items such as propolis. Enjoy!

A much-anticipated accessory called fish creel is soon to arrive at Mirthwood. This tool will make it easier for players to transport freshly caught fish and other valuable resources that can be used in cooking delicious meals. The latest update will also introduce new crops and recipes, making it perfect for the upcoming holiday season. To get into the festive spirit, this release will delve into a Christmas-themed celebration, complete with seasonal clothing, decor items, and of course, additional recipes!

As a devoted player, I’m thrilled to share that the creator has announced a recurring feature coming up, which will be a part of the game during each winter season hereon. This update brings exciting new enhancements to the game’s combat system, as promised in a previous developer post. The changes are designed to make the action more immersive and engaging for us players. Additionally, stamina management has been overhauled, with it now being depleted during combat actions or when running.
