The confirmed hunt loop
Players leave the home base for replayable hunts, fight with melee weapons and supernatural abilities, then progress between runs.
Hunts can be approached solo or through the confirmed two-player online co-op mode.
What footage cannot prove
Promotional material supports the broad combat structure, but it does not establish exact timings, drop rates, hidden modifiers or a complete progression table.
Save and co-op issues: 1.0.2 is delayed
At the 26 September 2026 check, the latest official Hotfix 1.0.2 notice says the update has moved into the following week. Save and progression loss remain the team’s highest-priority issues. Identifying a suspected cause and preparing fixes is not confirmation that affected saves are safe or recoverable.
The planned update also targets run-blocking problems, crashes and co-op issues, including Lore Scrolls that cannot be collected in co-op. These remain announced repair targets in the delay notice; this guide does not present them as already fixed.
