Fantasy of Expedition Patch Notes — September 14, 2020
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Greetings, expert expeditioners!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Fantasy of Expedition players for your support, feedback, and encouragement. With your help, we were able to make many exciting changes and additions within the half-year Early Access period, including: A new Hero, new maps, 15 new items, 7 new Recruits, 10+ new monsters, 20+ new skills, and new effects for all Sects and Formations.
As the world descends further into chaos, the Sanctuary has expanded to provide exorcism and confession services. Not only are many monsters mutating, profiteers have appeared in Survival Mode to steal exchange Legacy Points. To better adjust to the ever-changing battlefield, a march formation to separate Rearguard and Vanguard troops was added. Furthermore, the strategic command system has been upgraded to support single unit control. Not only have we made many additions to the game, we're also committed to balancing the game and fixing bugs, making many necessary changes (and sometimes reversing them in a later version).
Fantasy of Expedition wouldn't have made it this far without your support. We will continue to improve and expand the game with the guidance of our players. Please look forward to more exciting expeditions in the future!
