Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr Patch 2.0 Preview

While reviewing NeocoreGames’ sci-fi action-RPG Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr, I mentioned that given some drastic changes and alterations, the game had the potential to become quite enjoyable. And in a fairly unlikely turn of events, it seems like that may actually happen when Martyr receives its upcoming major 2.0 update.

According to the preview article linked above, when the update goes live, the game’s combat will be completely overhauled, the animations will become faster and smoother, you will get access to some unique new items, and much, much more. On top of that, you will be able to play through the game’s campaign in co-op, instead of having to deal with the rather cumbersome matchmaking system that was previously limited to side missions only.

Here are the game’s developers discussing the new features:

Inquisitors!

Those of you who’ve joined us last Saturday on our recent NeocoreGames stream might already know the details of the upcoming major Patch 2.0 for Inquisitor – Martyr, but in case you’ve missed it, you can watch the stream below, or check the rundown we’ve put together.

For those who are new to this concept: based on player feedback and extensive testing, Patch 2.0 aims to elevate Martyr’s qualities as an ARPG, implementing features, pacing and a sense of progression that is more in line with the traditions of the genre.

Some of the new features of Patch 2.0 include a revamped and rebalanced combat, itemization and progression system, an entirely new item tier and new item types, a more challenging and complex endgame, an overall more fluid experience, and much more. It’s a huge patch and we’re very excited to finally share some info about it!

We’ll talk more about these features in the coming weeks and will check them out in detail. So stay tuned for more! Until then, here’s a quick summary of our stream and some of the major upcoming features we’ve talked about. Of course, this isn’t a final list – and absolutely not a patch log – of all the changes coming in 2.0, but we hope it’ll give you an idea of what to expect. Patch 2.0 will be a free update – similar to Seasons 1 & 2, and its release date will be announced very soon.
