Dark Point Games has announced that its ARPG Achilles: Legends Untold has received a much-requested story overhaul in the latest update for PC on Epic Games Store. The reworked story comes alongside several gameplay tweaks and quality-of-life improvements ahead of its full retail launch in Q3 2023. While available now on EGS for PC, the game will launch on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam later this year.
Developers have been listening to player feedback and responded to many of their requests to revamp the story. Fans will be pleased with the new trailer that showcases improvements to lore and other improvements to the game.
After the Battle of Troy, Achilles surprisingly returns to Greece and finds the place changed beyond recognition. The brave warrior has to confront demons from his past and embark on a quest to save his homeland from falling into the clutches of terror. The new update introduces half of his story. The other half, however, will be added with the game’s full release.
