Vagrus: The Riven Realms Welcomes Ambitious 'At the Heart of Ruin' DLC—Nintendo Switch Release Incoming

Lost Pilgrims Studio has officially unveiled 'At the Heart of Ruin,' a sweeping new DLC expansion for their acclaimed dark fantasy title, Vagrus: The Riven Realms.

The expansion is confirmed to launch on October 22 for consoles, with a Nintendo Switch version set to arrive at a later date.

An eShop page for the Switch edition is already live, signaling forthcoming availability for Nintendo players eager to continue their journey through the grim expanses of the Riven Realms. Since its original release, Vagrus: The Riven Realms has garnered praise for its challenging blend of narrative-driven exploration, strategic management, and atmospheric world-building.

True to form, Lost Pilgrims Studio describes At the Heart of Ruin as their most ambitious project to date, expanding the lore and scale of the base game in unprecedented ways. Set against the ominous backdrop of the Mountains of Fire—a territory fraught with the remnants of an ancient dwarven kingdom—the DLC introduces players to a savage new region.

This area stands defiant, untouched by Imperial authority and teeming with peril at every turn.

Players are tasked with navigating treacherous mountain terrain using smaller, more agile crews, pushing both their tactical skills and decision-making to new limits.

The studio promises that the adversaries faced here are among the most formidable yet encountered in Vagrus: The Riven Realms. Among the expansion's standout features: - An expansive, dangerous new region overflowing with unique stories and locations—more than any previous single DLC for the game. - The debut of 'Exploration Encounters,' a fresh gameplay mechanic offering procedurally generated obstacles, opportunities, and rewards outside the main narrative paths. - The addition of three rival scavenger factions, each with distinct questlines, relationships, and exclusive rewards for players willing to pledge their allegiance. - A diverse cast of new NPCs, as well as memorable characters making a return from past adventures. - Unique, faction-specific quest arcs unlocked by aligning with one of two newly introduced minor factions. Lost Pilgrims Studio characterizes At the Heart of Ruin as their most complex narrative expansion since the original game’s release, featuring branching adventures that elaborate on the intricate lore of the Riven Realms.

With an abundance of divergent outcomes, rewarding stories, and replayable scenarios, the DLC is designed to offer players fresh experiences every time they play. While a specific release date for the Nintendo Switch version has not yet been confirmed, the presence of an active eShop listing suggests that Vagrus’ community on Nintendo’s hybrid platform will soon be able to access this substantial new content.

In the meantime, the official launch trailer provides a glimpse into the high-stakes quests and foreboding landscapes awaiting players in At the Heart of Ruin. Vagrus: The Riven Realms continues to exemplify the depth and innovation possible in modern indie RPG development.

With At the Heart of Ruin, Lost Pilgrims Studio reaffirms its commitment to delivering expansive, story-driven content across platforms, including the ever-popular Nintendo Switch.
