Endings Coming in v0.15

Added 2024-09-08 08:24:56 +0000 UTC

About half of the possible endings and ending variations will be available in v0.15 when it releases. If you're wondering whether your ending will be available, it will largely be based on which plan you chose at the end of chapter 3. If you went with the bandits, guards, or witches, you should be able to play the game through to the end. If you asked Gray and Carol for help, or unlocked the "girls' night" path where you attempt to collect demon eyes to turn back into a human, those endings will be released either in patches or in v1.0.0 (I haven't decided yet exactly how I want to roll this all out).

The exact ending you get will be based on several factors. Obviously the path from the end of chapter 3 matters, but several other factors also effect the ending.

Whether Pelenor is alive or dead.
Your relationships with your companions.
Whether you've inherited a special item from a friend.
The decisions you make during the final confrontation itself.
Some other paths will have even more unique and disparate possibilities, especially in the "girls' night" branch.

Most paths through the end of chapter 5 also include a critical decision or a battle that can be won or lost. There actually might end up being more than the six endings I promised, but it depends on how you count them, which ones you consider variants of others, whether having a choice of two branches at the very end of a pretty lengthy linear ending counts as one ending that splits mildly into two variants or two separate endings, etc. I think at least six is a fair assessment, though.

In addition to the end of the story, players will also get a little epilogue that details some of how their player character's future will go based on their relationships and decisions. These are separate from but influenced by the story endings.

After completing the story, you'll be dumped into a non-canon version of the world that reflects the world state at the end of chapter 5, but without any story stuff going on. This version of the sandbox will be the platform for the postgame content coming in v1.0.0, and will be where you can ultimately launch a NG+ run from in the future.
