Godfall, from Gearbox Publishing and Counterplay Games, now has an Ultimate Edition that comes with all the updates, expansion, and previously exclusive pre-order bonuses.
Take down gods and mythical creatures with amazing elemental-based combat in Godfall: Ultimate Edition. Players can team up with up to five other players, or go it alone, in this third-person melee-based combat system. Players choose from among 12 Valorplates to arm themselves as they attempt to master the five weapon classes in order to defeat Macros and his underlings.
“Godfall: Ultimate Edition is the culmination of the hard work our team has poured into this game since launch. It’s our love letter to all our players, and to those on Xbox and Steam who’ve been looking forward to playing it… Our team put in amazing work on this free Exalted Update containing fresh content and key improvements players have passionately asked for. We can’t wait for players new and old to experience the main game story enhancements, feel the full impact of the Valorplates’ new Shard system, and tinker to their heart’s content with the addition of loadouts. This is THE version we’ve always hoped you’d get to experience.”
Keith Lee, CEO at Counterplay Games
Godfall: Ultimate Edition Trailer
The game looks gorgeous and the gameplay seems intense badass. Throw in the family drama, Godfall has the key elements of a great game. The ability to play with 6-player co-op is a dream come true. Granted as an adult, getting six players to do anything is a task and adventure in its own right. But I like that the option is there and somewhere there’s a group of friends gaming together. The game currently has a 61 on Metacritic, to mostly mixed feelings, which tells me that if this is your genre it’s probably great. Plus the pricepoint and entirety of content is a kind of unbeatable right now.

Once you’ve reached level 50, power up beyond the level cap to obtain new Ascension Powers and bonuses.

And here’s an overview of the major changes coming in the Exalted Update, Godfall‘s largest free update to date, which launches on all platforms alongside Godfall: Ultimate Edition on April 7:
Valorplate Shards
- Each of the 12 Valorplates now have four unlockable Shards which provide new ways to customize and enhance your playstyle.

Ascendant and Exalted Valorplates
- Collecting all four Shards will unlock a Valorplate’s Ascendant form, granting a second passive ability.
- After leveling all four shards up to the max level, the Valorplate will become Exalted, granting a third and final passive, as well as unlocking a visually stunning new cosmetic which can be displayed on the Valorplate podium in the Sanctum.
Experience Godfall’s Enhanced Campaign
- Ravenna and Soras will now accompany Orin and fight alongside him on certain story missions, as well as providing new dialogue in the Sanctum between missions.

Overhauled Combat
