- Passing of Jon Grierson - 5 October 2025
Hello everyone, we hope you are all well.We come to you with a heavy heart to report the passing of the founder of Passageway Games, Jon Grierson. His loss has shaken the team rather brutally and we will all miss him dearly. But, despite that, we still plan on making games in the future. We appreciate all those who have bought the game and those that may do so in the future but for now we need to step back and regroup as a company.As of now, Passageway of the Ancients will receive no further development unless absolutely necessary. While we do not like to say so and feel we could improve the game further, we feel it is a better decision at this time to not let this tragedy impede future prospects. We hope that you will all understand this decision and we thank you for your support.Peace be with you. Passageway Games
- Small Update 1.4.5.1 - 1 August 2025
Good evening, all. A small update today. Tweaking one of the special diary pages to give players a clue about where to look in previous locations. Thank you all for playing.
- Release 1.4.5 - 29 July 2025
Good evening, all. A quick release addressing an issue where you can't direct heal spells to the character portraits. That feature should now work as intended. Thank everyone for playing. Enjoy.
- 1.4.4.1 Update - 15 July 2025
Good afternoon, all. The root cause of a major issue has been found finally. This patch will fix the issue with loading into the Dwarven Mines. Apparently the pathfinding was broken for this level due to some recent changes in 1.4.
- Release 1.4.4 - 14 July 2025
Good (late) evening, all. It appears there were some issues with some position checking code that were causing level loads to give errors. Hopefully this resolves the issue. An additional oversight was missing a feature that was promised for the original 1.4. Now the Dragonkindt transformation will have more benefits for the whole party. I had missed that promise in the release. Better late than never.
- Minor Update 1.4.3 - 6 July 2025
Hi, everyone. Hope you enjoyed your holiday. Another quick release to address another small issue: Changed the trainer screen at the guild hall to display a message why Obfuscation tree cannot be trained there. You should be able to find the trainer for this skill tree somewhere else in town matching the nature of these skills. A few small changes were also added for errors that were automatically logged. That should help the game run a bit more smoothly. Thank you for playing.
- 1.4.2 Release - 1 July 2025
Hello, everyone. We noticed an issue with using some potions to remove certain debuffs like bleed were not being allowed to be used even though the debuff was present. This issue should now be resolved.
- Patch 1.4.1 - 30 June 2025
Hello, all. A quick change to the naming of the "Standard" difficulty. Since it wasn't clear this was meant to be for story progression rather than direct tactics, we renamed it to "Story" mode. No other gameplay features were changed.
