Death Must Die is one of those games that I wish I’d stuck with before getting distracted by something else (an occupational hazard for me) and I fully intend to go back to it. Now I have a date in mind.
That date is April 20th, when the game gets its second act and a bunch of new content to go with it. The patch will introduce “talent trees, a new hero, a new god as well as plenty of abilities, items and monsters.”
That above mentions a new character, and her name is Ninh, Goddess of Earth, and she is absolutely ripped! Here’s the fluff text shared as part of the Act II announcement:
The World Peak is the highest point in the mortal realm, crossing the border between men and gods. It is this cosmic bridge that has allowed our heroes to travel into Death’s domain. As the Maker of Mountains and the Peak’s original creator, Ninh has been keeping an eye on their quest. Now that she has witnessed the heroes’ persistence, she is ready to offer her blessings.
The update also includes a bit more detail on the new skill trees that are being added to the game. I’ve already confessed to not having played very much, so I won’t pretend to understand everything in the post, but if you’re a keen Death Must Die fan, I suggest you check it out over on Steam!
Now watch the trailer below to see the new content in action. Or don’t, it’s completely up to you!
