Co-op play is being introduced, additional players can now assume the role of party members and use timed attacks and blocking. Combat has received new balance features like Sticky Combos, allowing you to accrue combo points through battles and break through enemies’ locks, or, offenses.

The prologue of the game has been reworked where combat is now the primary focus and brand new animations have been added for child Valare and Zale, in addition a new prerendered cutscene has been added to the game titled ‘Paths of Water.’
