Silent Games and Secret Mode have rolled out a brand-new free update for their challenging action RPG Empyreal, adding the Mini Mage, an Illusory Orb, and fresh cosmetic options to let players customise their heroes without sacrificing stats.
This new patch gives adventurers more ways to express themselves inside the Monolith — and it’s live now across PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Meet the Mini Mage – Your New Style Guru
The Mini Mage is a new NPC who has mysteriously found their way to the Hub after being forcibly removed from the Monolith. Give them a home, and they’ll offer armour transmogrification services, letting you wear your best gear while keeping your preferred look.
Not just a style expert, the Mini Mage also stocks new clothing options, perfect for exploring the Monolith with flair.
Illusory Orb – Instant Appearance Changes
Alongside the Mini Mage, the update introduces the Illusory Orb to the Hub. With it, you can change your hero’s physical appearance at any time, at no cost. Whether you want a quick tweak or a complete transformation, you’ll no longer need to commit to your original character look for an entire run.
Why It Matters
While Empyreal is known for its deep combat system, intricate RPG mechanics, and tense boss battles, this update leans into player expression — giving you more ways to connect with your character in between life-or-death fights.
As a reminder, Empyreal lets you:
- Choose from three weapon archetypes (Glaive, Mace & Shield, Cannon) with unique movesets
- Discover and master dozens of abilities with special timing effects
- Undertake personal questlines for every member of your expedition, each with multiple endings
- Explore hand-crafted levels shaped by Cartograms that change loot, enemies, and environmental conditions
- Trade and share items with other players through asynchronous features
Now, you can do it all while looking exactly the way you want.
Play Now
The Mini Mage Update is available today for all players of Empyreal on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.
