Inflexion Games’ Nightingale has seen quite the transformation since entering early access over a year ago with more content, a revamped campaign, and more. Its latest update is now available and focuses on Nightingale City, which is under attack by the Fae and the Automaton Queen.
There are three large quadrants to investigate as players fight across rooftops, streets, and sewers before facing the Automaton Queen. Various changes include refined structure rotation and placement (with the option to swap pieces out for different styles) and defensive structures. You can also acquire Tier 5 weapons and tools in the city, though a new currency is required.
These can be equipped with two Charms, with Tier 5 Fabled Charms also available. The latter bring “fantastic changes” to weapons and tools alongside their powers. While you can also buy them with the new currency, they can also drop as rewards.
Check out the full patch notes below. Nightingale is available for PC via Steam Early Access.
