Just wanted to add to all the well wishes and say thanks Crate for all your hard work on this game. I bought a supporter pack when it was in early access on Steam, which feels like a lifetime ago now. Bought the game again on GOG, which is where I play it now, and hell I’ll probably purchase the Xbox port as well just because.

I’m usually not a fan of town builders or RTS in general but I’ll gladly give FF a shot. Looking forward to it.

Thanks again and good luck in the future!

Hope to see GD2 in 3-4 years, because I’m absolutely not a fan of any kind economic sims.

As Z suggested, it would be a little more than that. A possible Town Builder & RTS Hybrid. Or I might have understood things wrongly ofc but atleast we know that there will be optional battles.

We know they also have other projects besides Farthest Frontier in the works that they’ve yet to show us so maybe some of those will interest you. But of course, any kind of new ARPG will be years away from now.

Thank you @Crate for all the Hard Work you spent on Grim Dawn. It was an amazing journey, seeing how this Game grew from the Beta to what it is now. It’s right now actually the Game on Steam which i spent most time on it, and i enjoyed every second of it.

Though i’ve to be honest, i’m more of the faction of people who really would’ve enjoyed a 3rd Expansion, i’m also someone who understands (and accepts) your Decision, and i wish you good look for “Farthest Frontier” (I’ll definitely keep an eye on it, even though this isn’t exactly my genre but i’ll give it a try).

And i also see it from the bright side. I’ve yet still left so much to do in GD, modding is also a thing, and also (and someone already pointed it, that it might be a good thing to have a “competition”) now i can take my time for other ARPGs on my list(2 which are already out and hadn’t time for it yet and another one which is in midst of Early Access and is very promising). So it’s like the old saying: "“When one door closes, another opens.”

Wish you the best on your health.

Just to echo your first sentence: PC gaming started for me last July and Grim Dawn was one of the first games I picked up (obviously, my first ARPG). Absolutely love it and will continue to do so. Moreover, I’ve become a fan of all things Crate and look forward to the future. Keep on keepin’ on Crate Team!

Grim Dawn is the best ARPG i’ve ever played. I’m sure that the same thoughts are shared between thousands of players all over the world.
I WANT a new content: maps, quests, rouge-like dungeons
I WANT new items which give me much more builds’ diversity
I WANT modern beautiful graphic and…
I WANT to GIVE you money for that! CRATE, just do all mentioned above, shut up and TAKE My MONEY! Dear players, lets arrange Kickstarter company to stimulate Crate for developing GRIM DAWN 2!!!

Welcome to the forum! I get your enthusiasm, and a lot of people here share that as you but Crate already mentioned that there won’t be any more DLC or any other content update for Grim Dawn unfortunately. As for GD 2, they want to take some break before making another arpg so we’ll have to be patient on that matter.

But for this part. I mean, a lot of people loves this semi-realistic more oldschool graphics/colours etc. I’m one of them. A more modern approach won’t fit the theme and atmosphere in my opinion.

For more information, please read the thread below;

patch, when this week? wed?

THX 4 ALL CRATE!!!

Seconded. This is an area where I think Crate pulled it off flawlessly- game retains that old school look and feel, while at the same time modernizing textures and particle effects and stuff. The end result is gorgeous and a huuuge part of the charm of this classic game.

@Klark i agree with just about everything else you said though. Especially starting the kickstart for Crate to work on GD2! But, to be fair and respect all the hard work and time they put into GD 1, i want to give them a break from GD for a while. Besides they have Farthest Frontier coming out next which looks very interesting, and are working on other stuff as well.

I think GD 2 will be best if Crate is able to take a break from it and return to it later, refreshed. I love the idea of a kickstarter to support GD 2 efforts though- maybe whenever they decide to venture into GD 2 territory we could all jump on that idea and give them a bunch of money to help fund it!

Thank you for the game and I will keep playing it as it is because is very good even without furher patches.Hoping for a GD2 in the future even far future if I get to live it, with a more mature, gruesome and bloodier graphics. I don’t complain about the GD1 graphics but I’m not into it that much, I prefer a more mature one(think about WoW and ESO for comparison,I like ESO graphics) and a more developed story not just “hey look world gone to hell and monsters appeared, kill them”.

I’m a little confused by this line. WoW graphics look designed for 8 year olds watching kiddie cartoons. Grim Dawn’s graphics are without a doubt more “mature” in comparison.

Do you mean more brutal and gothic? :slight_smile:

You could say that. Basically, Grim Dawn goes for a more mature semi-realistic look whereas games like WoW (and Torchlight, for example) have ultra cartoony graphics that are clearly aimed at children. Visually anyone can see this difference.
