Portal Knights<\/em><\/strong><\/a> has been on quite the journey since we first launched on Xbox One and now we\u2019re launching our biggest update yet! Oh\u2026 And what\u2019s more, Portal Knights<\/em> is also available as part of Xbox Game Pass.<\/p>\n

For those who know nothing about PK<\/em>, let me give you a real quick rundown on what to expect\u2026<\/p>\n

Portal Knights<\/em> is our 3D sandbox action RPG game. Players can create, customize, and level up their characters, craft epic weapons, conquer enemies in real-time and build almost anything in-game! Portal Knights<\/em> can be played alone, locally with another player in two-player split-screen mode or with up to three other friends online. Adventure alone or with friends; it\u2019s up to you!<\/p>\n

\"Portal<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve played Portal Knights<\/em> in the past, then you\u2019ll know all this and what to expect. However, today we\u2019re launching three new updates at once: The Adventurer\u2019s Update, the Creator\u2019s Update, and the Villainous Update. We\u2019ve added a ton of cool stuff, too many things to list here, so we want to use this blog to highlight top 10 new features that you need to check out!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 Creative Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of our biggest community requests is now in Portal Knights<\/em>! Players can create their own islands from scratch and build with unlimited resources in our Creative Mode! What\u2019s more, islands can be named, everything can be mined with a single strike, characters can fly, fall without consequences and much more! We honestly cannot wait to see what our Xbox One community builds in game.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 Mini Bosses<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve introduced three new mini-bosses to Portal Knights<\/em>! Get ready to take on the Slime Queen, the Knight Hunter and the All-Watcher on your quest to take on the main bosses. They\u2019re quite challenging, so if you find yourself struggling, invite a friend along to help out.<\/p>\n

\"Portal<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 Interactive Furniture and Mannequins<\/strong><\/p>\n

Up until now, our hard-working Portal Knights<\/em> haven\u2019t been able to sit down or rest up while adventuring. Now, players will be able to sit on chairs, thrones, beds, etc. What\u2019s more, when lying down, time will now speed up, allowing you to get through the night much quicker than before. Not only that, but our Knights can now display their armor and weapon collections on mannequins!<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 Pet Stations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pets can now be placed around pet homes! The ability to let pets roam has been a highly-requested feature for some time now, so we\u2019re excited to bring it to Xbox One. Head over to Funny Jongo (found on Garnet Peaks) and speak to him! He\u2019ll be able to offer you a wide range of stations, perfect for your sidekick!<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Epic Chests<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve introduced some pretty awesome Epic Chests as part of our latest update. These chests will spawn at the very end of dungeons and contain valuable resources to help you on your journey. Not only that, but there\u2019s a chance you\u2019ll come across weapons that are unobtainable in any other way! What will you come across? Be sure to let us know!<\/p>\n

\"Portal<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 Giant Cities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get ready to explore new, giant cities! The Warrior\u2019s Guild \u2013 Fort Finch, Pirate City \u2013 Landlubber\u2019s Leap and The Ranger\u2019s Guild \u2013 Bodkin\u2019s Point all introduce new NPC\u2019s offering quests, rewards for the player, pets, character customization styles and much more!<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 Spectral Knights<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you head off on your adventure, you\u2019ll encounter mysterious Spectral Knights. Unique in appearance, these mysterious spirits will help Portal Knights, offering tips, guidance and advice. Be sure to interact with them, they can and will assist you on your journey.<\/p>\n

8 \u2013 Over 40 new weapons and armor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get kitted out for battle and choose from over 40 new armors and weapons which have been integrated into an improved crafting progression tree. Keen explorers may also find armor items hidden away in dungeon chests so make sure no stone is left unturned! Once players reach the Portal Knights Sanctuary then exotic armor can be crafted \u2013 a must have for taking on our hard mode bosses!<\/p>\n

9 \u2013 Inventory Management Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n

The team has made some significant changes to the Portal Knights<\/em> inventory system, in response to community feedback. Enjoy side by side chest management, use consumables directly from your backpack and get to grips with some quick move options. Overall, these changes should make managing your inventory much easier!<\/p>\n

10 \u2013 Home D\u00e9cor Items<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve included a load more d\u00e9cor items as part of our latest update! Items include mine carts, tracks, shop signs, a drawbridge, water pump, water drain, awnings, and potted plants, to name a few! Be sure to check them out.<\/p>\n

So there you go, these are our top 10 new features in Portal Knights<\/em>! Do make sure you head over to our website for more info on our latest update. (We simply couldn\u2019t list them all here.)<\/p>\n

Oh and before we forget\u2026 Players will need to regenerate their universes before checking out this new content! But, do not fear! Your home island is completely safe.<\/p>\n

Finally, we\u2019d like to take this opportunity to thank our existing community for waiting so patiently for this update and for their continued show of support. It means the world to us!
