Eterspire news & patch notes

The Year of Retention: An Update on our Development Plans 📝

Read here: https://www.eterspire.dev/2026/07/the-year-of-retention-update-on-our.html

New Content, Features & Improvements

A Journey to the Past!

• New Quest: "Walk Like an Alcalagan". Travel back in time to the era of the ancient war, long before the creation of the crystals! Meet legendary ancestors and solve ancient puzzles as you uncover a lost chapter of Aetera's history. Talk to the Desert Crystal at level 40 to begin this new blockbuster quest!

Apple TV Release!

• Eterspire launches on Apple TV on August 3, bringing your adventure to a brand-new big-screen platform! Save the date!

• The Apple TV version will launch with crossplay and cross-progression across all previously available platforms, allowing you to continue your journey seamlessly across phone, PC, and TV.

Controller Support Improvements

• Controller gameplay has been greatly improved across the board, making Eterspire play much better with a gamepad, especially when navigating menus and UI.

• New shortcuts have been added for several actions, including buttons for switching inventory tabs more easily.

• Holding the D-pad up or down now allows players to fast scroll, making it much easier to navigate their inventories.

• A new keybinding lets you open a menu showing every player currently in the map. From there, you can select a player to open their social menu, add them as a friend, invite them to a party, and more.

• These controller gameplay improvements not only make the upcoming Apple TV version feel awesome to play, but also bring us 95% of the way to achieving Steam Deck Verified status. Stay tuned!

• We will continue working on further improving the controller experience in Eterspire. We know some details are still a bit rough around the edges, but it plays a lot better now, and we'll keep iterating on it!

New Event: Quickfoot the G.O.A.T. (Goblin of All Time)

• As many of you may know, our entire dev team is from Argentina, and we wanted to celebrate our national team's hard-fought journey throughout this year's World Cup with a surprise in-game event. Even though we came out second and missed out on the cup, we're still grateful for the emotions, festivities, and happiness they gave us. Visit the Stonehollow Fairgrounds at level 10 or higher to join the celebration!

And There's More!

• The main theme OST on the login screen has been reorchestrated and sounds better than ever!

• We've normalized the volume across the game's soundtrack, so music should now feel more consistent from area to area.

• A new option in the settings menu lets players choose whether the chat window stays open after sending a message.

• A new message now pops up when your fishing spot runs out of fish, making it easier to know when to switch spots during idle fishing.

• A new option lets you hide your username on the login screen, helping keep your information private while streaming.

Eterspire Store

Behind the Scenes

• We have made major changes to our roadmap for the current quarter as part of a very important shift in development priorities. Right now, we're focusing on one of the most meaningful goals for Eterspire's future: making the game feel fundamentally better to play. That means improving the moment-to-moment gameplay: moving, fighting, exploring, and interacting with the world. This shift is about much more than small adjustments. It's about strengthening the foundation of the game so we can improve player retention and support Eterspire's long-term health.

• If you'd like to learn more about these changes and take a closer look behind the scenes, you can read our new devlog entry.

• 45 accounts have been banned for using modded or unofficial clients, which is against the Eterspire Rules.

Community

• Our latest Community Contest where participants created their own Goblin (complete with name and backstory!) has ended, and the rewards have been given out. Our chosen finalists stood out for their creativity and wit while working within the limits of the game, since the winner will eventually feature in Eterspire! You can see them and read their backstories here! Other Goblins created by adventurers might also feature in the future. If that happens, we'll let you know right here! Where else?

• A new community event will start later this week! Stay up to date with them by joining our official Discord server, where we run all of these.

• Did you hear that? That was the sound of the group Bastion wave record being smashed to pieces, by dedicated players Ampiel, Stormzone, Yacine, and Shlap (under the pseudonyms of Sherlockhomeless, Shlep, Soeasy, and Yacguard, which are amazing in their own right.) Originally broken by getting to wave 240, they didn't let their win get to their heads and are now on wave 255, which is double of that achieved by the group in second place. Congratulations! You can check the Bastion Challenge group leaderboard right here!

Update Schedule Changes!

The next Eterspire update will arrive on August 18, but we'll soon be transitioning to a new update schedule that keeps our usual pace while standardizing the day of the week each update releases.

• Our latest (guild-focused!) Community Contest, Greatest Guild Feats has ended, and rewards have been given out! Adventurers told us what their newly formed guilds were best (or worst) at with a group photo! All who showed us this fresh side of their groups received the exclusive in-game epithet, "My guild made me do it", plus the legacy Party Hat! Five finalists were chosen by the dev team, and the winners were then decided by community vote on our Discord server!

• A new event will take place shortly! Join our Discord server to get notified!

Update Schedule Changes!

The next Eterspire update will arrive on July 28, but we’ll soon be transitioning to a new update schedule that keeps our usual pace while standardizing the day of the week each update releases.

Starting in September, Eterspire updates will release on the first and third Tuesday of every month. If a scheduled Tuesday falls on a national holiday, the update will instead release on the following day.

To help us transition into this new schedule, the update originally planned for August 28 will now be released on Tuesday, September 1!

That's it!

Thank you for reading, we hope you enjoy this update very much!

You can read the full patch notes here on our official website.

Today, during the Latin American Games Showcase, we debuted our new trailer and announced that Eterspire has officially left Early Access on Steam!

This is a huge milestone for us. Eterspire has been in Early Access on Steam for 9 months, and during that time we’ve released biweekly updates with new content, features, improvements, events, balance changes, cosmetics, quality-of-life updates, and more.

Of course, leaving Early Access does not mean development is slowing down.

Eterspire will continue receiving biweekly updates just like before. This is not the “final” version of the game, and it is not the end of our plans. It’s a milestone, a celebration, and a chance to show Eterspire to many new players through the Latin American Games Showcase, under the Summer Game Fest umbrella.

As a small indie team from Argentina, being selected for the showcase is a huge honor. We’re proud to represent our region and incredibly excited to share Eterspire with more people around the world.

The future of Eterspire is still full of updates. Our next update will arrive this June 16 with the fishing skill overhaul. After that, the following update will introduce Guilds, and more roadmap features, and many more improvements and additions are coming beyond that.

To celebrate, we’re kicking off a few special things:

Free LAGS Celebration Cosmetic Redeem a special banner inspired by the colors of the Latin American Games Showcase with the chat command: /redeem lags26

Bonus EXP Event A bonus EXP event is now live! Jump in, level up, and celebrate with us.

Dev Stream Tomorrow We’ll be hosting a dev stream tomorrow with giveaways, Q&A, and a look at what’s next for Eterspire. Join our Official Discord to learn more!

Thank you so much to everyone who played during Early Access, sent feedback, reported bugs, made videos, joined events, invited friends, and helped shape Eterspire into what it is today!

We’re incredibly excited for the future.

See you in Aetera!

New Content, Features & Improvements

• The Dwarven Mines have been expanded with three new maps: The Destroyed Mine, The Petrified Cave and The Magma Bridge. These maps feature new enemies ranging from level 106 to 120, and hidden chests waiting to be discovered!

• A new quest: "The Quiet Journey". Speak to the Amber Spirit in the Abandoned Dwarf Haven and descend into the depths of the mines in search of the lost light of the crystals!

• "Hard" difficulty enemies have been slightly toned down to better align with recent combat and enemy changes.

• We have adjusted our server settings to increase the number of players visible at any given time within a single map. This number had been significantly reduced in the past to prevent performance issues that have since been addressed, so we are now scaling it back up tentatively.

You can read the full patch notes here on our official website.

New Content, Features & Improvements

A new combat mechanic! Certain mobs can now become Enraged upon gaining aggro. Enraged mobs grow in size, gain boosted stats and durability, deal more damage, and launch dodgeable AoE attacks. Defeating them grants increased drop chances and bonus EXP compared to regular mobs!

The Sunscar Canyon area has expanded with 4 new maps: Canyon Basin, Sunny Summit, Sunfall Cave, and Redscar Canyon. These are excellent new grinding areas for players between levels 130 and 160, featuring new mobs, hidden chests, and more!

A New Quest: "Ashford, North Sunscar". Help Nora gather materials for her new armor shop and convince a retired blacksmith to return to the forge!

A new Remnant has appeared on the Sunny Summit: the level 160 Canyon Golem. This powerful behemoth can drop the new cosmetic Canyon weapons for those strong enough to defeat it.

Eterspire Store

Bugfixes

Community

• Our Lunar New Year Art Contest has officially concluded! We were blown away by the incredible pieces created by the talented artists in our community. Your creativity made this one of our most inspiring events yet!

• In fact, we’ve received so much fantastic artwork that we’ve decided to delay the "Creators Spotlight," which is usually posted below these patch notes, by a couple of days. This will allow us to feature everything in a standalone news post-alongside our soon-to-be-announced Content Creator Program!

• Congratulations to Biel, Sandalsmin, and Shanzi, our Top 3 winners, as well as everyone who received a Dev Choice Award! Rewards for all winners and participants have now been sent out.

That's it!

You can read the full patch notes here on our official website.

New Content, Features & Improvements

• A mysterious new island has emerged off the coast, illuminated by a massive beacon visible from afar. The Isle of the Fallen Stone is home to enemies ranging from levels 110 to 117, and at its heart lies a mysterious dungeon filled with secrets, hidden treasures, and dangers awaiting those brave enough to explore its depths!

• A brand-new zone is now accessible from Ashford Port. The Sunscar Canyon stretches beneath towering canyon walls and introduces a new town, fresh characters, and challenging enemy encounters designed for players between levels 120 and 127.

• Hog's Labyrinth: A wild pigsty is looking to hire you as an explorer in this new quest that will guide you toward the Sunscar Canyon!

• Tutorial Improvements: The tutorial has been reworked to be easier to follow and to better guide new players through their first steps in Eterspire.

• Quest rewards now grant experience based on the level the quest is intended for, instead of scaling indefinitely with your character’s level.

Performance Improvements

• We’ve been working closely with Unity to improve performance across the game. This patch includes the first wave of optimizations, with more coming soon.

• Maps now load significantly faster when transitioning between areas.

• Overall performance should feel smoother, especially when fullscreen menus are open.

• On mobile, the game now defaults to a 30 FPS cap to help prevent your phone from overheating and your battery from draining too quickly. You can change this in the Graphical Settings if you prefer.

• We've added a Player Visibility setting to the Graphical Settings menu:

  • This new setting allows you to limit how many other players are rendered on your screen at once. Additional players beyond that limit will appear as light orbs instead.

  • This feature is designed to significantly improve performance on lower-end devices, especially in crowded areas where rendering many characters at once can cause slowdowns.

  • On mobile, this setting defaults to displaying 5 players. It can be customized at any time in the Graphical Settings menu.

Eterspire Store

• The Lunar Celebration cosmetic set is now available, featuring limited-time Lunar New Year cosmetics, including multiple cosmetic gear sets, several cosmetic weapons, and zodiac capes! Check the Eterspire Store for more information.

Bugfixes

• Fixed several map details that players could walk through.

• Various other minor bug fixes.

Known Bugs

• For Inbuxia to re-spawn, you'll have to leave the map and enter again. We’ll be fixing this in the coming days.

Behind the Scenes

• We’re continuing the overhaul of regular mobs. Upcoming changes will introduce dodgeable attack patterns, more ranged enemies, and heavier use of status effects to make combat more dynamic and engaging. More details coming soon!

• Remember that you can check our roadmap for February, March, and April at www.eterspire.com/roadmap

• 357 accounts have been banned for using modded or unofficial clients, which is against the Eterspire Rules.

Community

• Our Lunar New Year art contest is still underway! You have until March 3rd to submit your entry for a chance to win the top prize of 750 Crystals.

• Our Festival of Gratitude community event has ended! Over 1,500 players shared heartfelt messages of gratitude as part of their entries.

• All participants have now received their rewards. The Double EXP event will go live on the 21st and 22nd!

Thank you for reading, we hope you enjoy this update very much!

New Content, Features & Improvements

• As we've been mentioning we'd do, we've given combat in Eterspire a new coat of paint. This is just the first pass, and we'll be iterating on it many more times, but it was becoming clear that combat had drifted a bit: most mobs felt too similar, too easy to deal with, and too spread out across the world. With active abilities in the game, everybody was a little too overpowered, and it became clear that mobs had never really been rebalanced around that change, so the sense of progression was starting to fade. This first iteration focuses on repositioning mobs, creating proper combat spots throughout the game, giving enemies more distinct behaviours and ways of attacking, and rebalancing most encounters so they're no longer trivial to defeat. All regular mobs have been rebalanced to provide a stronger challenge, with more mobs added and placed in grouped formations with different types of aggro. You'll notice your gear making a difference now. You'll feel stronger when you become stronger. We've gone over every single monster in the game, so it took some time, but overall, the game feels much, much better now. And this is only the beginning. In future updates, we want to push combat much further: more ranged enemies, abilities that you actually need to dodge, heavier use of status effects, and more interesting boss encounters across the board.

• Ironman Mode (or something): you can now visit Seraph Steelperson in Oakridge Crossing to get an epithet to become an Ironman. While the epithet is equipped, Ironman players cannot trade or party with other players. This means you can become or stop being an Ironman whenever you want. It's not as strict as it is in other games, but this is a game, and how you have fun with it is up to you!

• A much requested fix: after a trade, the chat will now stay in the channel you were previously chatting in, instead of defaulting to the Server chat.

• Rogue Skill Buffs: The area of effect for several Rogue skills has been increased to improve group clearing: Blade Dance, Blade Dive, Shadow Strike, and Vicious Strike.

Eterspire Store

• An incredible, limited edition Lunar New Year set is coming on February 18th! Stay tuned!

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug that prevented the scroll wheel from scrolling in the full screen chat under certain conditions.

• Fixed a bug that broke the pathing of Trial monsters.

• Fixed a bug that caused monsters to launch attacks from far above them.

• Fixed the riding animation even more.

• Fixed a bug that caused merchants to gift players capes.

Behind the Scenes

• We are now working directly with Unity to substantially improve the performance of the game, especially on lower end devices. We hope to bring you noticeable performance improvements in the next patches.

In Other News...

• Quests currently reward you a percentage of the experience required to level up, regardless of the level at which you complete them. Beginning with Eterspire version 68.0 (the next update), quests will start granting experience according to the level required to complete them. So if you've been saving your quests for last, be sure to complete them before the next patch is out!

• In response to the Massively Overpowered Podcast, episode 550, minute 10:23: Hi Bree!

Community

• Our group screenshot contest has officially wrapped up! We received over 400 entries, and there were so many great submissions that choosing the winners was no easy task.

• Discover Sunset Keep, a mysterious stronghold located on the Seaside Islet. Explore its halls and uncover secrets tied to the strange portals that connect the islands of Aetera!

• Once slipped upon the finger, the world grows quiet, and in that silence the darkness begins to whisper: The Void in the Chamber of True Darkness has been spotted clutching a mysterious ring...

• A much requested feature by you content creators out there: you can now turn off the UI, making it easier than ever to record gameplay and capture cinematic screenshots.

• By popular request, bankers all across Aetera have restocked the Capes of Wealth.

And also:

• Mod and cheat detection have been greatly improved.

• The Copper Cave has been polished a little bit, and some invisible walls have been fixed.

• Mounts now have footsteps.

• Gasblin, Melgob, and Baltarraga have departed from the Stonehollow Fairgrounds.

• A newly discovered island: the Seaside Islet! Meet Captain Quina at the Stonehollow Port to learn more (level 95+ required).

• Private Messaging (Alpha): we've added a private messaging (whispering) system to the game. This was a last-minute addition to the build, so it does not yet have a dedicated user interface. To whisper another player, you must be friends with them. Use the command /w in the chat box (for example, /w Arami Hey there!). You can also use /wl to message the last player you whispered (for example, /wl Hey again, Arami!).

• We've optimized several client-side networking systems, making the game noticeably more performant when multiple players are present in the same map.

• Unlucky Coins have been moved to the Materials tab of the inventory.

Eterspire Store

• Introducing the Christmas Spirit cosmetic set box! Dress up for the holidays with festive outfits in this limited-edition cosmetic box (available until January 14th)!

Bugfixes

Community

Every plushie order comes with 1,000 Crystals!

New Content, Features & Improvements

• A new quest: Brave Spelunker of the Dwarfless Mines! Barbado the dwarf needs your help exploring the abandoned tunnels beneath Old Rautala. Gear up and venture deep underground into an impressive ancient mine!

• We've added an experimental CRT TV filter to the game. It's there just because Lartu really wanted to have it, and it's disabled by default. You can enable it in the Graphics Settings menu. 'Give your adventures a retro twist with a brand-new (old?) CRT visual filter!'

• We implemented and improved several anticheat measures to keep Aetera fair and fun for everyone (read more below!)

• We've made several changes to reduce crashes, cut down on disconnects, and make gameplay smoother. We've updated the rendering backend, added new logging to help us understand what might be causing crashes and connection issues, and addressed a few problems that may have been causing bugs ever since we updated Unity back in October to fix a nasty engine vulnerability.

Anticheat Measures

• We've spent a lot of time this release strengthening the game's protections against cheating. We can safely say that 90% of the exploits that affected the game, especially the most severe ones (including, but not limited to, instantly respawning monsters, selling anywhere, withdrawing / depositing anywhere, etc.), can no longer be abused, and we will continue addressing the remaining issues in upcoming updates. Players using modded clients or taking advantage of these exploits have been consistently banned, and going forward, they will be removed even more swiftly. We want you to know that we are taking this matter seriously. Our response may have seemed slow, but we were diligently investigating what exploits existed and how cheaters used them. We are now launching our counterattack to put an end to cheating once and for all!

Eterspire Store

• We've added two high-value Crystal bundles, perfect for players who want more for less. A $99.99 pack that gives you 7,500 Crystals for the price of 4,200, and a $199.99 pack that gives you 20,000 Crystals for the price of 8,400. These packs offer +80% and +140% extra value, ugh those greedy devs!

• Beginning in January, we will start phasing out regional pricing for some of the regions that had it. We introduced regional prices as an experiment, but unfortunately they performed poorly for us on multiple fronts, especially affecting how store algorithms choose to feature us. We are deeply sorry about this, take advantage of them while they're still here!

• While the Adventurers' Guild prepares their costumes for the holiday season, we have begun celebrating by reducing the price of all Cosmetic Boxes to 50 Crystals for the month of December. Rejoice!

Bugfixes

• Fixed a graphical issue that caused some trees to levitate.

• Fixed a bug that caused the Wardrobe to turn into a useless bank in certain situations.

• Fixed a bug that prevented your stats from updating when you learned a new skill or changed your loadout.

• Fixed a bug that stopped footstep sounds from playing.

• Fixed a (rather big) bug that prevented some players from logging in with certain characters.

Behind the Scenes

• We are working to improve the game's balance. We want progression to feel more rewarding as you grow stronger, and we want the experience to feel less grindy and repetitive, so we are currently testing several improvements.

• We are preparing the next two seasonal events: Christmas (in December) and the Three Kings Day (in January, which I've just learned is also called 'Epiphany'!)

• We are also working on this year's retrospective as we prepare for the final update of 2025 on December 15th!

In Other News...

• 142 accounts have been banned for using modded clients, which is against the Eterspire Rules. Burn!

Community

• A new Christmas-themed community event begins today (not to be confused with the in-game event that will launch on December 15th)! This one comes with some of our biggest crystal rewards ever, so keep an eye on our Discord for more details!

New Content, Features & Improvements

• We've added a Sort button to your inventory, allowing you to customize the sorting order in the Materials, General Items, and Cosmetics tabs. Depending on the tab, you can now sort items by acquire date (the current default), equipment slot, equipment tier, or alphabetically.

• We've updated how cosmetics are organized to reduce confusion: the Cosmetics tab now only holds weightless cosmetics (those with a pink background). Cosmetics that do have weight (those with a white background) are now placed in your General Items tab instead, making it easier to track what's affecting your carry weight.

• Introducing the Wardrobe! The old Cosmetics tab in your bank is now called the Wardrobe, and it is also accessible directly from your Inventory. Use it to store weightless cosmetics that you do not use as frequently, helping you keep your inventory clean and making it easier to organize your favorite cosmetics. Since you can access the Wardrobe from anywhere, you can change your look at any time you like!

• On PC and Mac, you can now use Shift + Left Click when interacting with shops, the bank, the transmog table or the upgrade menu to perform actions more quicklym such as buying, selling, depositing or withdrawing items.

• To celebrate Eterspire winning the 2025 EVA (Argentine Game Expo) People's Choice Award, you can now get your own EVA Award in-game as a cosmetic weapon! Visit Giftwrapper at the Stonehollow Fairgrounds to claim it. Thank you for your support!!

• Introducing a new quest: Dungeons & Jackals! Team up with Elmerant the Jackal and journey deep into the mysterious Desert Tomb. Ancient secrets await those brave enough to step inside.

• We've improved performance when navigating the UI with a controller, making it feel snappier and more responsive.

• We've enhanced the Skeletal Beast from the tutorial quest by increasing its movement speed and adding new dodgeable area-of-effect attacks.

• The Skeletal Crypt (the tutorial quest dungeon) now features skeletal archers that attack from afar, and additional aggressive mobs have been added to Oakridge Crossing.

• A new class icon now appears next to each player's overhead name, letting you quickly recognize their role in battle.

• Some notifications are now also displayed in the chatbox. We've done it right this time, so they shouldn't be intrusive or prevent you from chatting!

• You no longer need to create a party manually to enter a Trial or the Bastion Challenge solo; the game will now create one for you automatically.

• Introducing the Twilight Hunter box: a new set of cosmetic gear oriented ideal for Rogues and Archers, featuring bows and dual-wield equipment!

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug that caused exp bubbles to fly towards your feet instead of your chest.

• Screen shake on hit and on kill has been fixed for Trial monsters.

• Fixed a camera issue in the Skeletal Crypt where it would clip through the walls.

• Fixed a visual texture issue with the ground in the Hermit's Garden.

• Fixed a bug that caused certain map decorations to appear invisible.

• Fixed a bug that had caused the scroll speed in menus to become excessively fast.

New Content, Features & Improvements

A new quest: Going Through the Potions. Help a group of witch sisters brew a peculiar potion for Vestada's Potion-Off Contest! Start this quest by speaking with Piper in Vestada.

Monster encounters in the first 20 levels of the game are now much more engaging, featuring different enemy aggro types and the addition of ranged mobs. We're experimenting with these changes to make the early-game grind more fun, and we'll be rolling them out to the rest of the game soon.

We buffed the Perfect Draw skill for Archers, increasing the bonus damage at early levels.

The Bastion Challenge: Reforged!

We've made several improvements to this game mode based on community feedback. Our hope is that these changes will make the Eternal Moonlit Bastion a more worthwhile and engaging experience for endgame players, and give them more incentive to try out new builds and team compositions, push for highscores, and farm lots and lots of Bastion Points!

Eterspire Store

We've now completely removed all items that might be considered pay-to-win from the store (that could still be found in some special categories).

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue that made it difficult for Archers and Wizards to hit certain flying enemies.

• Corrected the Fireborn Gear for Archers to display the proper level requirements and tier.

• Fixed a visual clipping bug in the Sakura Blossom set.

• Cosmetic sets now align correctly on the hip and no longer show transparent seams where they connect.

• Fixed a camera bug that caused it to clip through ceilings in the Frozen Moist Glacier.
