Continuing to improve the game during its time in early access, RocketBrush Studio and Team17 have updated The Unliving with a new way to challenge players. While many players already have their first impression of the game, this new Apex Necromancy update might be the change they have been waiting for.

The latest update includes many community-requested features and additions, as well as the new Vow of Deicide mode that increases the game’s difficulty after defeating the final boss for the first time, allowing players to test their undead prowess against unforgiving foes. Along with the new and more challenging mode, Apex Necromancy includes the addition of a radar that indicates points of interest and the main path to each location’s boss, and a tracker that displays the proximity of the next soul shard, streamlining gameplay for players.

A Necromancer’s horde of undead is his most valuable asset, and in this latest update, several improvements and optimizations have been made to the way the shambling masses assist in the game, with players able to limit the number of simultaneous units and merge them into higher ranking undead with significantly increased health and damage.

The Unliving is available now in Steam’s Early Access. You can read up on what’s new in this update here.
