At the Heart of Ruin launches the new game expansion for Vagrus – The Riven Realms on Steam Deck, Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the ongoing creative talents of developer Lost Pilgrims Studio. Which you can find now on Steam and GOG.
Lost Pilgrims Studio just released something massive. After grinding away for over a year, the crew behind Vagrus – The Riven Realms launches their biggest expansion yet: At the Heart of Ruin. And it’s live right now on Steam Deck and Linux. Are you ready to dive straight into the darkness?
This isn’t just another DLC with a few new quests slapped on. The devs are calling this one their most ambitious project since the base game itself. And when you hear what’s packed inside, you’ll understand why.
The story drags us deep into the Mountains of Fire, a brutal land where the ruins of an ancient Dwarven kingdom crumble into dust. It’s a place of danger, betrayal, and challenges that’ll push even the most seasoned vagri (yeah, that’s us) to the edge. Forget rolling through the wastelands with massive caravans. Out here, it’s all about small parties, tight survival, and razor-sharp decisions. One wrong move, and those mountains will chew you up.
Vagrus – At the Heart of Ruin | Launch Trailer
So what’s waiting in this treacherous new frontier? Glad you asked:
- A brutal, lawless new region free from Imperial rule and crawling with threats.
- More locations and enemies than any DLC the devs have ever made before.
- Exploration Encounters – a brand-new feature! Procedurally generated challenges, traps, loot, and surprises waiting for anyone brave enough to poke around outside the scripted storylines.
- Three scavenger factions, constantly at each other’s throats, each with their own rewards and storylines.
- New and old NPCs, from fresh faces to familiar allies and enemies returning for round two.
- Faction quests in the launch, including unique ones tied to two fresh minor factions within At the Heart of Ruin.
- Huge narrative arcs, easily the most complex, branching, and high-stakes stories since the game launched.
- Replayability out the wazoo thanks to the endless choices, outcomes, and loot opportunities.
Along with the Expansion
But that’s not all. Alongside the expansion, Lost Pilgrims also released the Ruinous Supporter Pack on Steam and GOG. Priced at $8.99 USD / £8.09 / 8,99€ with the 10% discount. Think of it as their way of saying, “Hey, if you like what we’re building, here’s a way to back us up, and look good while doing it.” The pack gives every single companion in the game a slick new cosmetic outfit, all themed around the factions and characters from At the Heart of Ruin. They don’t change gameplay, it’s pure style. And honestly? They look epic.
This is the kind of DLC that makes you want to stock up on snacks, and lose yourself in grimdark fantasy for hours. If you thought Vagrus – The Riven Realms was already punishing, mysterious, and epic… well, At the Heart of Ruin launches to prove you haven’t seen anything yet.
So, Linux and Steam Deck gamers, it’s on Steam for $19.99 USD / £18.99 / 19,99€, but there’s a 10% discount on GOG. So sharpen your blades, and prepare your crew. The Riven Realms are calling, and the Mountains of Fire are waiting. Along with support for Mac and Windows PC too.
