🔥 Version 1.4 — The Burning Peak Rises
The lands have trembled, the skies have cracked, and the dormant fire beneath the world has stirred once more. With the arrival of Version 1.4, the gates to the Burning Peak have finally opened — a region long sealed beneath obsidian walls, whispered of in forbidden scrolls and carved into the bones of ancient prophecy. This scorched domain is unlike anything you've encountered in Emberwake before, and it promises both unimaginable power... and overwhelming peril.
This expansion introduces a massive new explorable zone where molten rivers, unstable terrain, and dynamic hazards challenge even the most seasoned Flameborn. Volcanic eruptions can reshape the battlefield in real time, opening or closing paths, triggering world events, and awakening dormant threats. The Ash Serpent — an ancient, god-tier beast formed from solidified magma and corrupted ember — now coils through the region's heart, guarding the path to the legendary Forge of Ancients.
"The mountain doesn't burn — it remembers. And now, the flame remembers us all."
Over 20 new quests await, spanning faction warfare, long-lost flame rituals, and personal trials that delve deep into your character's origin. Align yourself with one of three new factions: the Emberguard (protectors of balance), the Cinderborn (flame anarchists), or the Cult of Pyros (fanatics who believe the fire should consume the world). Each offers exclusive rewards, skill branches, mounts, and story arcs that drastically alter the course of the region’s fate.
The Forge of Ancients is a new crafting system hidden within the heart of the volcano. Here, players can forge ember-infused gear with elemental modifiers, stat-reactive traits, and visual effects tied to the amount of fire they've absorbed through world events. Additionally, a new category of passive powers — "Flamebound Perks" — becomes available for those who survive the region’s most extreme conditions. These allow you to manipulate fire, withstand extreme heat, and ignite enemies with proximity-based effects.
Graphical improvements, performance optimizations, enhanced mount AI, and expanded voice acting for key characters are also included. The Burning Peak is not just another zone — it is a test of will, strategy, endurance, and narrative choice. Whether you seek glory, knowledge, or chaos, the flame calls you now more than ever. Will you rise from the ash… or become part of it?

Liora Sunshade: This was absolutely worth the wait. The dynamic lava flows during boss fights are mind-blowing. Emberwake keeps evolving in the best ways!
Grim Hollowson: Joined the Cinderborn. Regret nothing. The chaos, the fire, the weapons — it's everything I ever wanted from an RPG faction.
Tavren Kael: The Ash Serpent was brutally epic. Took a full squad of five and 40 minutes, but the drops were insane. Don't go in unprepared.
