Version 1.0.0

The world opens again

Release channel

Create a character and return to Xiah Prairie: the first launcher build brings the world, chat and shared hunts back to Windows and Mac.

The first alpha build opens the village gates. Create a character, follow the old roads and find other players in the same world. Xiah is back to being somewhere you can go, rather than somewhere you can only remember.

Hunt and talk together

Global chat reaches across the server, nearby speech appears over players, and everyone who helped bring down a boss can receive their own loot roll while they remain on the map. Four character slots give you room to try another path.

Your first walk outside town has company: Guide Dogs on the trail.

A world with its old spark

Waterfalls, petals, fireflies, smoke and lanterns return across the maps, and portals glow along the roads. The launcher installs and repairs the game on Windows and Mac.

From our team

We are a small team rebuilding Xiah around its original places and feel. This first release is the foundation. The next updates will make travel, combat and the everyday trip into the game feel better.
