The fantasy extraction RPG Legacy: Steel & Sorcery has cast its most ambitious spell yet with a massive Early Access update. The Shadow’s Reach update from Notorious Studios introduces the long-awaited Wizard class, three new maps, and a revolutionary social hub – all timed with a free weekend from May 15-19 and a 25% discount from May 16-22.

A New Era of Arcane Warfare

The update’s crown jewel is the Emberstaff-wielding Wizard, a game-changing addition to Legacy‘s class roster. These masters of the arcane rewrite battle dynamics with:

• Devastating ranged spells that punish reckless foes
• Time-bending abilities to rewind mistakes (or enemies’ progress)
• Scroll hunting – discovering rare spells becomes its own meta-game

“Wizards alter everything,” says lead designer Ethan Parker. “A skilled caster can turn a losing skirmish into victory by manipulating the battlefield itself.”

Three new locations transform Mithrigarde’s tactical landscape:

Dawnhammer Crypt
Once sacred ground, now a labyrinth of undead horrors guarding legendary loot. The deeper you venture, the deadlier the threats – and the richer the rewards.

Greenwood Night
When darkness falls, this forest becomes a predator’s paradise. Bandits stalk the roads while spectral terrors lurk beneath the canopy. Bring torches or become prey.

Goldbrook Social Hub
This revolutionary safe zone lets adventurers:

• Spar against training dummies to test builds
• Challenge others to non-lethal duels
• Trade strategies around communal campfires

“It’s about creating breathing room between raids,” explains community director Mira Chen. “Goldbrook makes Mithrigarde feel alive beyond the bloodshed.”

Core Pillars of Steel & Sorcery

Built by ex-Blizzard devs behind World of Warcraft and Diablo, Legacy merges hardcore extraction mechanics with classic fantasy and MMORPG elements.

Brutal PvPvE Combat
Every swing, block, and spellcast carries weight in a system favoring skill over stats. Warriors smash through walls while Rogues vanish into shadows – now Wizards rewrite reality itself.

Permanent Progression
Upgrade your inn room for tangible benefits, craft elite gear by befriending vendors, and cook meals that provide expedition buffs. Even when maps reset, your legacy endures.

Accessible Depth
“Were making extraction RPGs approachable,” says studio head Greg Street. “The Wizard update especially shows how we’re evolving based on player feedback.”

The Road Ahead

With Early Access ongoing, Noxious Studios plans to add two additional classes to Legacy: Steel & Sorcery, the classic Druid and Paladin for holy healing and natural damage. There will also be guild systems and social features familiar to those in the WoW scene, as well as seasonal narrative events! The free weekend, going from May 15-19, offers the perfect trial before the Steam sale from May 16-22. For veterans and newcomers alike, this update proves Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is becoming the definitive fantasy extraction experience.
