Vagrus – The Riven Realms expansion At the Heart of Ruin is now available

Lost Pilgrims Studio has launched the ‘At the Heart of Ruin‘ downloadable content (DLC) for Vagrus: The Riven Realms on all platforms except Nintendo Switch. The Switch release is taking a bit longer because of a more extensive approval process.

The new downloadable content launches with a special pack of cosmetic items for all your companion characters. The expansion itself adds a brand-new region to explore, filled with unique locations, enemies, and three different scavenger groups who are all rivals. You’ll also meet plenty of new characters, and discover even more content to enjoy.

Vagrus: The Riven Realms is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

Lost Pilgrims Studio has released a launch trailer and more information about the ‘At the Heart of Ruin’ DLC for Vagrus – The Riven Realms. You can find it below.

Lost Pilgrims Studio, the team behind Vagrus – the Riven Realms, recently launched their biggest expansion yet, ‘At the Heart of Ruin,’ after more than a year in development. It’s available now on all platforms except Nintendo, where it will arrive after the approval process is complete. To coincide with the launch, they also released the Ruinous Supporter Pack, offering players a way to support the studio and receive unique cosmetic outfits for each companion in the game.

Okay, so the new DLC, ‘At the Heart of Ruin’, is a really big deal. It’s going to seriously expand on the dark fantasy story we already love in Vagrus. We’re heading to the Mountains of Fire, which are basically the ruins of an ancient Dwarven kingdom. Expect some seriously dangerous adventures! The cool thing is, we’ll be running with smaller groups this time, and the terrain is super rough – think really challenging mountains. And the enemies? Apparently, they’re the toughest Vagrus has ever thrown at us. I’m already bracing myself!

This expansion adds a wealth of new content, including engaging stories, detailed locations, and carefully designed features. Here’s a breakdown of what you can look forward to as a player:

  • A savage, imperiled new region free of Imperial dominance and brimming with danger
  • A slew of new locations and enemies in the usual art style and quality of Vagrus – more than in any single DLC before
  • Exploration Encounters, a brand new game feature that offers procedurally generated challenges, obstacles, and chances to get loot outside the narrative-heavy sections
  • Three scavenger factions that are nemeses of each other, with their own quests and rewards
  • A large cast of NPCs, most of them new, while others are recognizable faces from old stories
  • Unique quests available through committing to one of two new minor factions
  • Our most ambitious narrative undertaking since the release of the base game, both in complexity and narrative impact
  • Expansive, branching, dark adventures that build on the rich lore of the Riven Realms
  • Replayability due to the sheer volume of divergent outcomes, stories, rewards, and opportunities

The Ruinous Support Pack gives all your companion characters new outfits inspired by the factions and characters from At the Heart of Ruin. These are purely cosmetic – they change how your companions look, but don’t affect gameplay – offering fun and unique alternatives for your favorite allies.

Lost Pilgrims Studio plans to add more content to At the Heart of Ruin after its release. They’re continuing a significant story arc from the expansion with free updates, believing it needs further development and a more complete conclusion.
