- Wolcen 2 - Community FAQ - 26 August 2026
What is Wolcen 2? Wolcen 2 is an isometric dark fantasy Action RPG where you’ll master brutal combat, build your character without fixed classes, combine skills and gear, and unleash your Shadow Form in singleplayer or up to four-player co-op modes.

- The studio behind one of the best-looking ARPGs, which you probably forgot about, is back with a game that blends Diablo with Tarkov - 15 January 2025
Do you remember Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem ? It’s a Diablo-like ARPG from a small indie team that came out in the D3-to-D4 drought. It spent years in Steam early access development, following a very successful Kickstarter campaign. It took so long, in fact, that many simply lost hope that it would actually come out resembling the initial promise. Read more
- Server Shutdown and Online Character Conversion - 17 September 2024
Greetings, Ascended, We will begin shutting down Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem's servers today after the delay communicated earlier this month. Your online characters will be available in the cloud and can be converted for offline play with the patch that is also rolling out today on all platforms using a new button, “Import Online Character”, which can be found in the main menu and on the landing screen. All achievements are still available for completion, including “Dawn’s Healing”, which will now require you to revive an NPC companion instead of a player. Additionally, any achievements completed online prior to the server shutdown will be retained. Purity in Sacrifice! The Wolcen Team
- Delaying Wolcen Server Shutdown - September 17th - 3 September 2024
Dear Wolcen Community, We’ve read your comments, and, seeing that quite a few players are still doing their best to get the Dawn’s Healing achievement, we have decided to postpone shutting down the servers until September 17, 2024. During this time, we will work on finding a good equivalent for it that can be unlocked while playing offline. We would also like to confirm that there will be an "Import Online Character" button in the game’s menu that downloads and converts your online character to an offline one, even when the server are already shut down. The Wolcen Team
- Long-suffering Diablo rival to end development and multiplayer support - 2 June 2024
Back in February 2020, when Diablo 4 was still a glimmer in Lilith's eye, Path of Exile 2 was just beginning to surface as an idea, and Last Epoch was but a newborn babe looking to find its feet in the initial throes of early access, Wolcen looked to be the big new kid on the block. An ARPG with no class restrictions and a beautiful world to explore, it showed a lot of early promise. But bugs, technical troubles, and balance woes left the newcomer in a rough spot that it never recovered from, and now it appears the curtain call has finally come. Read the rest of the story...

- Wolcen: Lords Of Mayhem won't receive new updates and its multiplayer will switch off in September - 1 June 2024
It feels as if every action-RPG can be described in terms of its relationship to genre daddy Diablo. Wolcen:Lords Of Mayhem , for example, launched a few months after Diablo 4 was announced and helped to satiate some early click cravings. Briefly. Early positive sentiment was quickly scuppered by bugs, slow updates and more. Now its developers say that they're ending support for the game, and multiplayer functionality will be switched off this September. Read more
- The Future of the game - 30 May 2024
Dear Wolcen Community, Thank you for your unwavering support and patience. It’s been a while since our last update, and we apologize for the silence. However, we had to make serious decisions that required careful reflection and time. Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication. We are fully aware of the challenges that have emerged from the early technical decisions made regarding the game's architecture, challenges that are insurmountable without a complete technology overhaul. We have diligently updated Wolcen, enhancing every facet of the game from introducing new chapters and items to improving UI, animations, and the meticulous balancing of skills, items, and gameplay, alongside technical enhancements. Despite these efforts and the team's dedication behind our patches, we've encountered foundational hurdles that prevent further improvements under the existing framework. I…
