What is included in the expansion
Legacy of the Bloodmoon is billed as the darkest expansion to date. The story follows Clan Bloodmoon as they retrace the pilgrimage of Saint Baal’Thasar in search of a paradise lit by a bright red moon, and an ancient manor that may hide the secret of immortality. The pack contains more than 10 new characters, over 16 new weapons and evolutions, eight new music tracks, one new adventure, and one very large new stage.
New characters
| Character | Details |
|---|---|
| Malice Bloodmoon | Leads a pack of disciples toward the Order’s ancient lair, using them as cannon fodder. |
| Calogero Bloodmoon | A brutal fighter who shatters obstacles with a massive axe. |
| Baal’Thasar | The founder of the Order of the Red Moon, or what remains of him. |
| Ashtart | One of Baal’s first followers, now a malevolent presence that inhabits old bones. |
| Sargon | An ancient king trapped in a hellish dimension by ambition and fear of death. |
New weapons
| Weapon | Effect |
|---|---|
| Scarlet Needle | Malice’s signature attack; impales enemies with paralyzing needles. |
| Incineration | Erases a whole group of enemies with a single flick of the hand. |
| Blacken Firmament | An ominous celestial body darkens the sky and tears reality apart. |
| FireBall | A new fire projectile, distinct from FireFall, FireWall, and FireStall. |
New stage
The XL stage is the Red Moon Manor, the ancient lair of the Order of the Red Moon. It was reportedly built by Baal’Thasar as a fortress to conceal the secret of immortality, and Malice and Calogero have confirmed it truly exists.
Once the clock hits 1PM UTC on August 28th, the expansion should be purchasable on your platform of choice. It began as a small content update to Legacy of the Moonspell before growing into a standalone DLC, and it now stands as the game’s eighth full expansion.
