Vellum Introduces a Neverending Story With The Endless Saga Update
Alvios Games is thrilled to unveil the first major update for Vellum, the cooperative PvE action roguelike where players must choose how their foes grow in power. Turning the page of the community-driven Vellum Roadmap, Chapter I: The Endless Saga allows players to continue their story despite reaching the final pages with the highly requested Endless Mode, the option for players to Prestige, and much more.
Vellum is a cooperative action roguelike where players invoke majestic ink-infused powers solo or as a team and defeat an ever-encroaching monochromatic foe. Vellum delivers a unique spin on the genre as players must choose the upgrades and abilities granted to their enemies throughout each run. With hundreds of build-making combos and enemy abilities to uncover, each rapid page-turning run will feel fresh and evoke satisfaction through both challenge and discovery.
Coming off the heels of the Duels & Demise Interlude Update, Chapter I: The Endless Saga marks Vellum’s first major update since launch featuring the heavily requested Endless Mode as its centerpiece. Once a boss is defeated, players who have authored the perfect build are now able to Continue the Saga until their ink runs dry. The Endless Saga also introduces the ability to Prestige through the new Ascendance System allowing players to reset their Ink Level, Binding Attunement, Quillmarks, and unlocks while keeping their Gildings and cosmetics.
The Endless Saga also introduces two new spells for Scribes to unleash on the Torn forces. Conjuring a burst of flowers with Blossom to overwhelm foes with huge damage around the Scribe. When a speedy escape is necessary, Ghostwrite turns Scribes into an incorporeal wisp of ink - greatly increasing mobility and becoming immune to damage for a short time. With the ink steadily dripping throughout Vellum’s Early Access period, The Endless Saga simply marks the opening chapter of a classic roguelike novel.
Vellum is now available in Early Access on Steam for $19.99. Players can read through the Table of Contents of the Vellum Roadmap for a glimpse into the coming chapters. With the Roadmap written, players can partake in feedback sessions with the developers by joining the official Discord server and help shape the future of Vellum. Scribes may also keep up with Vellum by following Alvios Games on Twitter and visiting the game’s website.
