Greymanes has received a substantial new update, with Patch Version 1.04.00 now rolling out across platforms. The update introduces new gameplay systems, quality-of-life improvements, visual upgrades, and a long list of fixes aimed at refining the overall experience.
New Difficulty Settings and Expanded Gameplay Systems
One of the biggest additions in this update is the introduction of difficulty options. Players can now choose between Easy, Normal, and Hard modes, allowing for a more tailored experience. Easy mode reduces enemy aggression and damage, while Hard mode significantly increases challenge with tougher enemies, tighter dodge windows, and more aggressive boss behavior.
The update also expands gameplay depth with new skills, boss balance changes, and additional combat patterns, making encounters feel more dynamic and engaging.
Storage, Housing, and Inventory Improvements
Patch 1.04.00 adds several new storage options, including:
- Sturdy Gatherables Chest with 1,000 slots
- Collectibles Chest for quest items and recipes
- Kuku Coolers for food and ingredients
- Wardrobe system for outfit storage (up to 1,000 slots)
Inventory management has also been overhauled with category tabs, improved sorting, and grouping options, making it much easier to organize items.
Housing systems receive upgrades too, including new house layouts, improved controls, and the ability to retrieve all placed furniture at once.
New Pets, Items, and World Additions
The update introduces new pets, including birds and additional cat types, along with systems to build trust and customise companions. Players can now rename pets and equip them with accessories for expanded functionality.
New weapons, armor sets, tattoos, and crafting tools have also been added, alongside environmental updates like additional ores, wells, and livestock vendors across the world.
Controls and Combat Enhancements
Controls have been significantly refined with new keyboard/mouse and controller presets, improved aiming, and expanded customisation options. Combat adjustments include better boss balance, smoother attack chaining, and new abilities for characters.
These changes aim to make combat feel more responsive while offering greater flexibility in playstyle.
Visual and Performance Improvements
On the technical side, the update enhances distant scenery rendering, lighting, and character detail, improving overall visual clarity. Additional accessibility options, such as colorblind mode and photosensitive settings, have also been introduced.
Platform-specific improvements include better upscaling technologies on PC and reduced stuttering on Mac.
Update Availability
The patch is rolling out across all platforms, with availability varying slightly:
- PC (Steam): Available now
- PlayStation & Xbox: Available now
- Mac / Epic Games Store: Rolling out soon
Conclusion
