The latest major content update is now live for Grim Dawn!
With this update, your loot hunt continues with 5 all-new Legendary quality sets awaiting discovery. Explore deeper into the Shattered Realm with all new anomalies, and of course enjoy a whole collection of great features and balancing.
This update also coincides with the release of Loyalist Item Pack #2, which is a gorgeous collection of vanity items you can purchase in support of development at Crate!
(Note: GOG Staff are on national holiday today, so standalone installers and the Loyalist Item Pack #2 DLC will become available at a later day, likely tomorrow. You should still be able to patch the game to v1.1.3.0 with the Galaxy Launcher though.)
