Thank you again for your support and feedback. We’re excited to continue building this journey with you.

First, we want to thank each and every one of you for playing Warden’s Will and providing your feedback on launch day. Your enthusiasm and thoughts mean the world to us!

In response to your feedback, we worked tirelessly to address two key areas to enhance your experience, even just hours after release:

Movement and attack abilities are now fully enabled during boss fights! We understand that movement is a core element of Warden’s Will, and we want you to enjoy the fluidity of the gameplay rather than feel restricted. (We’ll keep fine-tuning and balancing to ensure the best experience!)
Many of you mentioned that the progression for unlocking Wardens and weapons felt a bit too slow. To address this, we reduced unlock costs and increased the rewarded currency. These changes will make it easier and faster for you to unlock and upgrade your favorite Wardens and weapons.

We’re working tirelessly to make Warden’s Will the best it can be. Stay tuned for more updates!
