Wolcen Lords of Mayhem Received Controller Support

Developer Wolcen Studio released the latest update for aRPG Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, introducing a variety of features and fixes to the game. The patch brings along controller support, a new UI for both controller and keyboard & mouse players, a host of Quality of Life improvements and a number of bug fixes.

Players can swap between a controller and keyboard & mouse options at any time simply by using the desired input method. As of now, official Wolcen controller support is limited to Xbox controllers. With the addition of controller support, the team also remade large portions of the game’s UI to accommodate controllers and to update and improve the player experience across the board.

The new UI elements include the Character Sheet, Two versions of the Player Inventory: one dedicated to keyboard & mouse, and one to controller use, player’s Storage Chest, Cosmetics, Item Tooltips, Loot Filter, Merchant Screens, a series of Navigation Menus to change screens when using a controller, Main Menu, Options Menu.

When using a controller, you can access a radial navigation menu by holding the view/select button on your controller. From this radial menu you can access your Inventory/Character Sheet, your Skills & Modifiers screen, the Gate of Fates, Aspects of Apocalypse, and Stormfall Overview.

Quality of life changes include:

  • Armour skins, dyes, and pets are now integrated into one menu for easy access.
  • The Character Information Screen has been retooled to present more information at a glance within clearly defined categories. Additionally, the Character Information Sheet now automatically opens alongside the Inventory so you can easily track stat changes as you change gear.
  • Autosort buttons have been added to the player inventory and storage chests. Pressing the button will automatically organise your inventory or specific storage page.
  • Active Skill Modifiers in the Skills & Modifiers screen now have categorised icons so you can determine at-a-glance what each modifier does.

“Bringing controller support to Wolcen has been a broad undertaking and has impacted nearly every element in the game, big or small, to some degree. We were deeply aware of how highly-requested this feature is for many players prior to and during its development, and we are as equally keen to get it in your hands (as it were). There will be some unforeseen quirks and bugs, which we will address in post-patch hotfixes after this initial release.

We are keen to hear your feedback on both the new UI and the controller gameplay so we can address any remaining issues and add extra quality of life features in the near future. As always, an excellent place to share feedback in on our Official Discord, where you can share your ideas with the community or send us direct messages.”
