Winter Is Coming, And So Is Our First Major Update

Hello everyone!

As the year comes to a close, our entire team is racing toward December 18th with one shared goal: Delivering an update that truly welcomes you into the world of Concubine.

These past weeks have been intense. What started as a few targeted improvements has grown into our first Major Update. 

Let’s take you behind the scenes 👇

🧭 A Brand New Tutorial: Destan & Art of Combat

First of all, this update comes with a complete tutorial overhaul. As you step into The Palace, Destan will guide you through the fundamentals of combat before you are thrown into a world of danger.

You will now learn:

• Weapon switching

• Melee & Ranged Attacks

• Light & Heavy attacks

• Special Attacks

• Fury Attack

• How to use potions

• How to use Attribute Points

Since the skill tree system is still under construction, Special Attacks are & Fury Attack temporarily unlocked during the tutorial as if you had already invested the required points. 

This allows you to experience the full combat fantasy right away, and prepares the ground for the skill tree, which we’ll be tackling in our next Combat & Skill System Update. 

Our goal is simple: ✨ Smoother first experience.

🌍 Localization

Localization has become our second major pillar for this update. By the 18th, Concubine will be playable in: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Finnish, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.

As we translated the Concubine into new languages, we realized many original expressions didn’t feel right in English. So we remembered. Writing is rewriting… and rewrote.

What changed?

• Many item names were renamed & simplified

• NPC dialogues were rewritten

Our dear native-speaking volunteers from Concubine community are helping us with a final pass.Translations will be integrated on Tuesday, tested in-game on Wednesday & Thursday, and will be fully unlocked on launch day.

❄️ Winter Palace: Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We previously announced the Winter Palace, our seasonal, decoratable base, and we’re happy to say it’s already being tested.

What awaits you in the update:

• A cozy winter atmosphere filled with new year spirit

• A festive, intimate northern base surrounded by snowy forests to call home

• New year themed decorations. A lot of them!

• 3 new character poses

It’s a base meant not just to decorate but to pause, reflect, and celebrate new year together with your companions.

⚙️ Ongoing Polish & Worldbuilding

While we haven’t fully started reworking boss mechanics yet, the world is steadily becoming richer. What you can expert to see in this update are: 

• Small animation touch-ups, WIP

• New VFX and sound layers in combat, WIP

• UI optimizations across multiple screens, WIP

• A new armor set, dropping in Rumeli Fortress
