Oppdragslinjens detaljer: Veikart for Tainted Grail i 2026 med nye oppdateringer og gratis DLC

Questline, the developer for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, created an Elder Scrolls-like game during a notable drought for the genre. The Arthurian-themed open-world RPG has now sold over one million copies, confirming the market's appetite for such experiences. Tainted Grail maintained a steady flow of updates throughout 2025, and the studio plans to continue this support into 2026. A recent patch has been released, with more significant content planned for the coming months, signaling a continued commitment to the game's large player base. The game's success has established a new presence in a genre space that has seen few major new entries for over a decade.

With the release of Tainted Grail's latest patch, the developers revealed that a bigger update is coming in February, while a free DLC will be released to all players in March. The February update will focus on the game's third act, providing an extra pass to polish many layers of the experience, including level design and the loot system. This follows a similar effort last year to refine the game's concluding chapter, suggesting Questline is dedicated to improving the final parts of the narrative arc. The current patch, 1.16, offers a small framerate improvement across platforms through technical optimizations. It also introduces new alchemy recipes for existing potions and adjusts enemy behavior, ensuring neutral characters who become hostile revert to their neutral state after combat concludes. The update also addresses various other mechanical and narrative bugs.

Details about the free DLC scheduled for March remain minimal. The developer has only stated that it will contain "cool content that will be a mystery for now". One area not featured in the main game is Kamelot, the in-game spelling of Camelot. This location, central to Arthurian legend, could be a potential setting for a DLC-sized expansion. For now, this remains speculation as the development team has not offered any further hints about what the new content might entail. The developer's strategy appears focused on refining the existing game before expanding its world.

The game has been received positively, establishing the developer as a capable studio in the RPG landscape. In the Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon review from last June, critic Sam Desatoff noted the game’s strengths.

"The good outweighs the bad by a fair margin. In a genre largely dominated by Bethesda and Obsidian, it's good to see a new developer making its mark, and Questline is punching above its weight."

— Sam Desatoff

This reception highlights the game’s impact and the successful entry of a new developer into a competitive field, bringing a fresh perspective to a well-loved format. Questline's consistent updates and planned future content demonstrate an ongoing effort to build upon this successful foundation and continue to deliver for its audience.

Read also about the remake of Morrowind is not likely to happen, according to 17-year Bethesda veteran Bruce Nesmith. The former developer, who departed in 2021, mentioned significant technical and design challenges that would complicate a modern version. He suggested that the company’s resources would be more effectively used to create a new story within the same setting.
