Take on a tougher challenge, explore an ancient elven library, and discover new abilities in the latest development update
Ontario, Canada, October 30th, 2026 – Ocelot Technologies has shared the latest devlog for Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds, offering a preview of new features in development ahead of the tactical RPG’s full Version 1.0 release. The October update introduces Hero Mode, the Archives dungeon, and new skills for the Rogue, Pyromancer, and Engineer schools. Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds is currently on sale at 20% off in Early Access on Steam.
The new Hero Mode feature combines Tactician difficulty with a single save and changes to select encounters, challenging players to prepare for battle carefully as every decision counts. When a player dies in a Hero Mode attempt, they can continue their adventure on Tactician difficulty and finish their playthrough normally. The Archives has also been revealed, as a sprawling dungeon within an ancient elven library, filled with fresh discoveries and important revelations about the main storyline, including the activities of the chronomancer Thevyre.
Character progression expands with new abilities, including Wraith, which allows Rogues to become invisible for three turns, and Chainfire Blast, which grants Pyromancers the ability to launch fireballs which ricochet between targets. Engineers gain Wildcard surfaces, an unpredictable new surface type that randomly adopts the effects of existing surfaces, creating new strategies to be deployed on the battlefield. Over 200 skills are anticipated for the 1.0 release.
The dev log also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the Exarch illustration. As development continues, players can share feedback through Steam reviews, the discussion forums, and the game’s Discord.
Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds is available now on Steam in Early Access. The game features text localization support for English, Simplified Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese. A free demo is also available to try before purchase.
