Open Beta 0.2.0 is live!
Skara - The Blade Remains Patch Notes — June 15, 2018
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Greetings survivors, and welcome once again to a brand new version of SKARA!
First of all, we would like to thank each and every one of you for your patience and feedback - without you, we wouldn’t be able to release what we think it’s the best version of the game the world has seen.
We believe we are finally on the right track for a future final release of this game. Nevertheless, we believe in the constant improvement of our product, so expect patches and new updates to guarantee the best overall experience.
We’ve been working hard to solve issues of previous builds and also add new and exciting features that you can finally try out! The new update has seen the following improvements:
New feature: Daily quests
Periodic objectives are common in a lot of games, but we wanted to add a special flavor to them in Skara. Players told us that the level of progress felt too slow, so the newly added Daily Quests allow you to gain experience faster and acquire those tasty Zem Orbs more often while you achieve specific goals - “Win 4 games as a Tamvaasa”, for instance. We want everyone to have some cool stuff to wear!
Rework + New cosmetics: Victory poses
We know winning is among the most satisfying feelings in Skara… But what if you could customize the way your character looks on the winning screen? Introducing Victory Poses, a fancy set of animation you can unlock in order to add a special touch to the end match screens.
Each class has now 4 Victory Poses available in the Armory. The first one comes by default - meaning that everyone will have them from day one - so make sure you unlock and equip the others to stand out from the crowd.
Game balance
Hearing your feedback about the gameplay and character balance is one of the most strict rules we have here in the Skara studio, so we have come with A LOT of changes on the combat balancing. We focused mainly on strengthening each class’ role to try and make team compositions more interesting and, of course, fair.
Check out all the changes in the link below, detailed as never before, so you can be aware of every small change we made and take your fighting performance to the next level.

Other improvements and major bugs fixes
Gameplay is not the only important feature on an online game: at the end of the day, the user experience has to be right. We have been putting a lot of effort on improving the UI flow, bring some new features to make life easier when navigating the menus and killing some nasty bugs that had been travelling with us for a while now.
Interface and HUD improvements
- A scene for the Orb has been added.
- Several interface bugs were identified and fixed. Nevertheless, we believe in constant improvement in order to achieve the best version of the game yet, so expect more bug fixing in the upcoming builds.
- We are taking our first steps into a global strategy of creating a friendly and healthy environment for our community. Therefore we are implementing specific naming restrictions for account creation.
See you on the battlefield,
The Skara team
