Grim Dawn Grim Misadventures #109: A Look Back at 2016

I seem to have overlooked the posting of Grim Misadventures #109 on the official Grim Dawn forums went it up last week, and since it includes a summary of how the action RPG evolved during 2016, I certainly don't want to pass up a chance to shine a spotlight on it. A sampling of what Crate delivered last year:
Though we are now nearing the 1 year anniversary of its release, things are as exciting as ever for Grim Dawn. Between the recently unveiled 7th Mastery and all that’s still left to be unveiled, 2017’s crowning moment is sure to be Grim Dawn’s first expansion, which continues to grow both in scope and content. A grim new chapter of Grim Dawn’s story awaits you later this year and we can’t wait to share it with the world.

As tradition now dictates, we’d like to take the first update of the year as an opportunity to reflect upon everything that has brought us this far. In that regard, 2016 was the most important year of all as it marked the full release of the game itself, a monumental feat accomplished in part thanks to the support and feedback from all the players who participated in Early Access. Thank you for being on this journey with us.

2016 saw not only Grim Dawn’s release, but also 7 major patches and content updates. It saw the successful release of our Survival Mode, known as the Crucible, content that exists thanks to the generous support of our Kickstarter backers who pushed the campaign well beyond its initial goal and funded several stretch goals.
