World Zero: Blood and Steel (Beta)
World Zero Patch Notes — January 28, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
So after a long 2 years of development, The Blood and Steel update is... halfway done!
So why am I releasing this? Normally I would prefer to release a finish product as first impressions matter a lot but as it's stated it's been way too long and it might stay that way for a while before anything releases as how my real life has been going is that it's been very busy. However, this will not be in the main build of the game but instead a separate build that you need to access through steam itself
Before playing the early builds I'd like to mention few things:
1. THERE WILL BE BUGS(or might I don't know if there's enough content to warrant bugs)
2. A lot of elements of new content are either unfinished or left out entirely
3. The only thing that is done so far are the main quests
New content:
- WASD Movement
- Reworked Ferris, Kuromi and Shinji's fights
- Gave Shouta the move "Paper Ball"
- Added Stray Dogs as a random encounter to Klison City so there's a reliable way to get money
- Added a character theme for Abigail
- Item rebalance
- Added more unique voices
Beta content:
- Added a whole new side plot
- Added a new area to explore
- One new boss fight
Known issues:
- The new party member has been left out as his quest line does not have any progress yet
- The quest "Rat Race" cannot be progressed
- There is a fast travel station which "works" but it doesn't go anywhere
- Some parts of the game has no dialogue voice
- and many minor issues that I can't think off at the top of my head
- Bellamy's whole segment doesn't have custom audio
Feedback on the current content would be greatly appreciated
