Ember Throne's Big Patch Reworks Nightmare Dungeons and Endgame Grind

Ember Throne's newest patch lands today, and it's a meaty one. The headline change is a complete pass over the nightmare dungeon system, which players had found repetitive past the first dozen runs.

Affixes now rotate more aggressively, boss rooms carry better rewards, and the endgame experience curve has been flattened so alternate characters feel viable far sooner.

We sat down with the studio to talk about what drove the changes — and what's still on the roadmap for the season ahead.
