- UPDATE 16 - 10 September 2026
Big update today. Please keep sharing your feedback, we are reading everything and working through your reports, with much more to come. CO-OP CHARACTERS You can now bring your single player character into a friend's game. Choose an existing save before joining, and your appearance, equipment, regular items, gold, skills and perks come with you. Progress you make in co-op saves back to that chosen slot. Quests and quest items stay with the host. Guest character progress now saves every 30 seconds independently of the host's world saves. We've also added recovery for previous character progress stored in older co-op saves. If you don't have a single-player save yet, start a game and save before joining. It should be straightforward but if you need any help with this feel free to reach out in the community forums or on our Discord. COMPANIONS Companion permadeath is now optional, and disa…
