Thea 2: The Shattering - Return of the Volh DLC Available

Return of the Volh, a free DLC update for MuHa Games' 4X/RPG/CCG hybrid Thea 2: The Shattering is now live. The DLC introduces two new magic user classes, over 30 new events, a good deal of balance tweaks and a series of quality of life improvements. You can find the complete patch notes here. And if you'd like to financially support the game's developers, you can now also purchase the so-called “Pizza for Devs” DLC that allows you to send $6.99 their way and get some artwork in return.

Here's a quick overview of the new stuff:

(some will argue this is not actually a DLC because it comes as a free update to the game, but – 1 – you have to download it, and 2 – it is new content. So technically we can call it a DLC and so we will.)

This is a busy summer for us! Post-release patches every 2 weeks and now this! But don’t worry, we had a few days off too 😉

So – a few words about the Volh…

The name Volh is really not entirely correct. It should be volkhv or volhv (or wołchw if you’re Polish), but since it’s so easy to break your tongue when pronouncing this word, Yuuki has decided to make use of her writer’s license and change it to an easier name.

During the Early Access we heard that players were disappointed that Thea 2 has no male mage human class. But that was because the Volhs were in a far-away land being busy doing magics and stuff. Now they have decided to return, so to celebrate that fact, we’ve come up with over 30 new events, 13 new rituals, new characters and skills and wrapped them in a huge bag of balance tweaks, fixes and quality-of-life improvements for you to enjoy for free.

And since some of you asked to buy us a pizza, we’ll be releasing Pizza for Devs DLC really soon. More on that in the next entry!
