Project: Gorgon received another round of fixes on October 27, 2026. Most of the patch is cleanup, but a few changes stand out: Zhia’s Whim effects now last twice as long, several Halloween quests have been repaired, and fox players get two new cosmetics to hunt for.
Gameplay and quest changes
The biggest balance-adjacent change concerns Zhia’s Whim. Its buffs and debuffs now last 2 hours instead of 1 hour, and the text in the related quests has been updated as well.
Vampire players should also take note. Treasure effects that are supposed to make Lifedrain restore power over time were not actually restoring any power. That has now been fixed, so those mods should finally do what they say.
Other gameplay fixes include:
- Caviar items can no longer be eaten over and over.
- The “Gang of Misfits” Halloween quests now let you kill the monsters in any order.
- Title-related Halloween quests now update correctly.
- A missing clue has been added to the Fox Scavenger Hunt.
- The books “101 Ways To Insult a Necromancer” and “A Vampire By Name” can be read again.
- Blanche is back to lighting the nearby lamp at night.
Animal forms, cosmetics and performance
Players who spend time in animal form get a handful of improvements. Two new fox-only cosmetics have been added as rare drops that can turn up anywhere in the world. Casino Crowns are now visible on animal forms, and cosmetic descriptions have been reworded from “wearable by certain animal forms” to “wearable by animal forms” to make things clearer. Foxes also now revert to their normal form properly when they unmount.
On the technical side, the developers are taking a few steps to smooth out performance:
- Water planar reflections have been removed entirely for now, with Project: Gorgon falling back to a simpler method until further optimizations are ready.
- Serbule Keep should run better thanks to fewer shadow-casting lights.
- Blurry trees in Statehelm have been fixed.
- Overscaled rocks in Rahu are back to a normal size.
Finally, a crash has been fixed that could happen when switching areas or shutting down the client. It was caused by a race condition and only affected players who had the VIP auto-save-report checkbox enabled.
The full list of changes is available in the official patch notes on Steam.
