Sworn is a very capable action-roguelite built in a similar vein to Hades, but with co-op and an Arthurian twist. My review is here if you would like a more detailed overview, but generally speaking, I like it.
If you’ve already played the game yourself, then you’ll be much more interested in knowing about Sworn’s post-launch roadmap and the new content drop that landed for the game last night.
The most significant part of this first major post-launch update is the addition of some alternate bosses that, to be fair, we thought we were getting at launch earlier this year.
And so, better late than never, courtesy of Windwalk Games, I would like to introduce you to…
Lady Kay, Wall of Camelot –Though corrupted, Lady Kay remains a stalwart warrior in service to Arthur. She guards the entrance to Cornwall with her gigantic shield, pummeling down any who dares challenge Arthur’s rule.
Sir Dagonet, Grasp of The Mire – His devastating hook can render Soulforged immobile, as he drags them around his swamp filled with traps and poison. Clever warriors will need to dismantle his fixtures around the arena before they drown in Sir Dagonet’s mire.
Lady Agravain, Scourge of Ships – The source of many of the shipwrecks and the current state of Deep Harbor, Lady Agravain has been rendered completely mad from her transformation. In a flurry of feathers and steel, this terrifying adversary dashes around her nest with breakneck speed, ripping unprepared Soulforged to shreds.
I mean, that’s some flavoursome text right there! I actually left a lot of the details in there from the presser because I thought I spied one or two interesting bits that would-be squires might find useful in their coming quests.
The three new bosses will start appearing in your runs in the stead of the usual end-of-chapter bosses, at Knight difficulty or higher, giving Sworn some much-needed replayability for its most dedicated players.
If you want to know more, you can check out the patch notes right here! Otherwise, all that’s left to say is that Sworn is out now on PC (Win), PS5, and Xbox Series, and there’s a new trailer below!
