Grim Dawn celebrates 10 years - set for a big free upgrade with a modern scaleable UI and an expansion

Grim Dawn is getting an update that will hopefully make the ARPG classic work better across different screen sizes and resolutions (like the Steam Deck). Oh, and a major expansion Fangs of Asterkarn is now in the "final stretch" of development.

It's easily one of the best ARPGs available on PC.

They're celebrating ten years with a post on Steam mentioning how they thought back in 2019 with the second expansion, that sales would naturally decline and the game would just be done. However, that didn't happen. They were surprised in 2023 when they saw growing player counts so they came back to give it one more big boost.

"After 10 years, Grim Dawn will have a modern scaleable UI, something once thought impossible in an engine created when a 4:3 aspect ratio was still common-place and 1080p was a luxury. An overhauled stash will greatly expand how you organize your awesome loot. And, dare I say, more surprises are still in store for our Fangs of Asterkarn pre-patch."

Sounds like the expansion really is huge too. They said it's "76% the size of the base game, 170% as big as Ashes of Malmouth and 223% as large as Forgotten Gods" containing "over 60 bosses and minibosses" with "over 370 new unique items and 116 Monster Infrequents, with more custom models and less retextures than ever before" and more.

The initial changelog for Grim Dawn 1.3 is already quite long, and that won't be all of it. You can even get testing right now if you want to try it.
