Bellwright will celebrate its community of over 1 million players while teasing an upcoming update with one of its most anticipated developments.

The Gamescom showcase will offer an early look at what’s coming while celebrating the community that has helped shape Bellwright.
Leading into Gamescom, Echoes of Elysium has received a new weather-focused tempest that makes rain a more meaningful part of gameplay. Rain now directly affects ships and their contents, with wet components and stored items gaining weight and drag. Certain stations can become inoperable when soaked, while the updated weather system brings a darker, more atmospheric feel to the world.
