Today developer Keen Games and publisher 505 Games revealed a brand new update for their game Portal Knights.
A major highlight of the new update is that it includes three new quests: Trials of Strength, Trials of Delving, and Trials of Agility. After completing each of these quests, players will be able to unlock a whole new Mediterranean-themed island to explore. In addition to that, some other updates include recipes for nine new sets of armor, three new pet dog variants, new improvements to dungeons, and the ability to toggle the split-screen direction.
The patch includes over 30 additions and changes. You can check out the full list of them below:
- Option to toggle the split screen direction (We’ve now included vertical split screen.)
- Host player can now kick players by right clicking their name on the map screen and choose “kick”. This kick is connected with a ban for the game session. After closing and reopening the session the kicked player can join again.
- Confirmation message for the Back to Title button
- New active portal VFX
- Kolemis Temple Trials Event
- Trial island with NPCs presenting the quests of the new culture of the Pillars
- Trial of Strength (Be the last one standing!)
