Dear Tacticians,

It’s already been a couple of months since the Trials patch so I wanted to share what we’ve been working on since then.


Back when we first shared our roadmap late last year, we announced our plan to add the item system around summer. But now that Trials Mode has been implemented and we’ve had a chance to reflect on everything we’ve built so far, we concluded that the item system does not offer enough value to justify its development cost. The system would have provided a slight combat advantage, and this could be covered just as effectively with accessories introduced with Trials. Instead, we shifted our focus to expanding weapon skills and more varied combats.


Changing Elena’s weapon was brought up through player feedback and after some surprisingly easy discussion within the team, we decided to swap out her secondary weapon with a pair of axes. There are already plenty of sword-wielders in the cast, but not many axe users. Giving Elena dual axes will make her stand out more, both visually and mechanically.

We love how her new setup plays and we hope you’ll take her for a spin in your next expedition following the next patch.


This one has been on our minds since the early days of Early Access and we are finally implementing it: boss fight variations.

In the next patch, we’ll introduce two new variations each for the Act 1 and Act 2 bosses. Variations for Act 3 boss are of course also in the works. While the maps will remain the same, the bosses will be equipped with different weapons, forcing you to change up your strategy against them. You will first encounter these variations in a fixed order but once you’ve battled them all, they will be randomized to keep you on your toes.


We’re also improving how we show signposts at Forked Road, particularly for routes that lead to meta-progression items (like Coral Stone for shop upgrades, Sacred Embers, or Rune Fragments for class upgrades). Right now, once you’ve completed all upgrades, these resources lose their usefulness–leaving you no reason to choose these routes.

Well, that’s changing.

We will consolidate those signposts and make them smarter, so that they’re more likely to offer meaningful value even in the late game. Essentially, the sign will show all three rewards and if chosen, one of the rewards will be given to you.

We’re also planning a fun new feature: enhanced signs that occasionally appear with boosted rewards, turning routine route choices into a surprise. You will see this a little bit after the smart signposts have been implemented.

We’re hard at work getting all of this ready for the next major patch, and we hope you’re just as excited as we are. But that’s not all - we’re also planning even more updates down the line.

Thanks for following along with our development as we continue to make improvements to the game.

Until next time,

- Jin Sang Kim

Hello, ODS Community!

Time really flies–it’s PAX season again! Ocean Drive Studio will be in Boston for PAX East 2025, at Booth #15035!

We are bringing a fully horde-packed booth with demo stations for 3 games: Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch, Section 13, and God Save Birmingham! For Section 13, we are also bringing co-op to the floor, so you can team up with friends (or strangers!) to take on the base’s anomalies.

Of course, our demos come with cool swags!
Surviving the onslaught of the Fallen in Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch will reward you with a foam hat in the shape of a sword–a telling sign of how you made it out alive on Anareios.

Taking on the massive hordes of QTs in Section 13 will win you an LED armband that makes it easier to spot your fellow Agents.

Experiencing your first day of survival in God Save Birmingham will get you knighted–with a paper hat to keep you safer in the zombie-infested medieval town.

Come stop by our booth to be fully decked out for the triple zombie onslaught!
