When I played my first action RPG 20 years ago, I never thought that one day that ubiquitous mouse and keyboard experience would be transferred to a controller and I would play our own game. Grim dawn, on a TV screen from the comfort of your couch.
It also fits so well that it’s a wonder ARPGs have only switched to consoles in the past few years. When we first went to the port Grim dawn on Xbox, we weren’t sure if we needed to make adjustments to monsters or mechanics, but it turned out that the game felt great with a controller. The experience Xbox gamers are about to experience is exactly the same that we’ve meticulously honed on PC. No concessions, nothing shortened or changed.
We are absolutely excited about this next era in Grim Dawns History and the new audience that will explore the darkest corners of its vast, immersive world. With seven story files and years of free updates in the Definitive Edition, there is a lot for new players to discover.
My favorite additions to date are probably our roguelike dungeons. They provide just the right amount of excitement and rewards, especially as you try to clear them out at lower levels. I could never stand playing in hardcore mode where a single death means your character is done. I greet those who do! Our roguelike dungeons offer a taste of such daring engagement as they don’t die on every attempt, and that’s the perfect balance between risk and reward for me.
These dungeons are only the tip of the endgame iceberg, however. Between the Crucible’s wave attack mode, the infinite advancement of the Shattered Realm, and our super bosses, everyone is sure to find pleasant goals to work towards. It’s an amazing amount of content.
Grim dawn is full of lore and secrets for players to discover. Major quest decisions with ramifications and conflicting factions to join mean your characters can actually do their part in shaping the world around them.
To this day, players dissect the lore of the game and form their own theories about past events and their significance for the future of Grim dawn. Reading these theories, even some of the totally imprecise ones, was one of the nicest parts of my work during development Grim dawn. At the same time, it’s very satisfying to see the players putting the pieces of the puzzle together and figuring out exactly what happened.
As we look forward to the release of the console version of the Grim dawn, we’re excited to see new voices joining the community, offering their own insights, and inventing their own builds using the 36 class combinations and thousands of items.
If this is your first time joining us on the console, we can’t wait for you to start your adventure today!
