The second major update for the roguelite RPG Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy is now available. It introduces a lot of new magic and item effects. This is only available however for those who have Early Access to the game.
In a post, Game Director Joris Dormans said that this latest round of changes is aimed at improving the player experience. It does this by having players get more choices when it comes to how they build their characters. Dormans went on to say that with how the items are spread and the way they combine, the possibilities are truly big.
Here’s what players can expect with this new update:

- Well-made items appear more often in the game and now include armors, all types of weapons, and a larger variety of wands and staves.

- NPCs drop items more often when players defeat them.
- Fewer items are marked as legacy items.

Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy is a roguelite RPG with a table-top feel. Some of the key features include:
- A Legacy System where the actions of past heroes can have an impact on those that follow in their footsteps.
- Permadeath is present, meaning, when a hero dies, they stay dead. Players, however, can return to the world equipped with knowledge of what lies ahead. Players also have the option to start a completely new adventure.
- The game offers generative storytelling or no premeditated script. The goal of all adventurers is the same, but their journeys come with a unique story and even different encounters.
The game is available on the Epic Games Store. Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy is scheduled for launch in 2022.
