Mahou Arms Just Dropped Its BIGGEST Update Yet! (Chapter 2, New Quests, NPCs & More)
0Mahou Arms has finally dropped its massive Build 0.4.2027 update, and it’s a game-changer. This update isn’t just a few tweaks here and there—it’s a complete overhaul that sets the stage for the game’s final release. Whether you’re a longtime fan or someone who’s been on the fence, this update brings a ton of new content, fixes, and improvements that breathe fresh life into the game.
What’s New in Build 0.4.2027?
The story takes a bold leap into cyberspace with Chapter 2, where players will uncover the origins of Seiko, a secret AI project created by a defunct techno-cult. As her datacenters come under attack by Jen’s army, you’ll dive into a cybernetic out-of-body experience that blurs the line between reality and virtuality. How does Seiko become an ally to the human resistance? Play to find out.
Expanded World and New Locations!
The game world has grown significantly, with new areas to explore and secrets to uncover:
The Vanaheim: A pre-war aircraft carrier that serves as GARDA’s home base. Here, you’ll find your comrades—Amelia, Jack, and Yin—alongside a refugee settlement called The Ark. The ship also houses key locations like the Crew Quarters and Commander’s Office, adding depth to the game’s narrative and world-building.
New Inverness Expanded: The snowy wasteland of New Inverness now features new areas teeming with items, enemies, and survivors.
Astoria: Thanks to your efforts in Chapter 1, Pier 48 has been resettled and renamed Astoria. This new town adds a sense of progression and hope to the game’s post-apocalyptic setting.
Exodus: An underground mall east of Main Street now serves as a refuge for survivors. While it’s not fully fleshed out yet, there’s an air of mystery here that hints at future developments.
New Quests and NPCs!
The update introduces a variety of side quests that add depth to the world and its characters:
Foraging with Piro: Help Piro reclaim lost items and learn more about her story.
Survey Drones: Assist Arthur in jump-starting the Search-and-Rescue Drones program.
The Hermits: Track down a reclusive family in New Inverness and convince them to seek safety.
Lost Souls: Follow Seiko’s instructions to investigate an eerie flame in your room.
Additionally, the world feels more alive with the introduction of new NPCs. New Inverness is no longer just you, Piro, and the warlocks—there are now neighbors to meet and stories to uncover.
Overhauled Spell and Holster System!
The Spellscards and Toolspells system has been revamped, with a new Equip Menu that lets you customize your loadout. While only Butterfly Ball and drones are available for now, this system lays the groundwork for more spells and tools in future updates.
Soul Retrieval!
For patrons who submitted a Soul Retrieval Form, you can now retrieve your Souls in New Inverness and place them into drones. This system is still in its early stages but promises to expand further.
Quality of Life Improvements and Fixes!
The update isn’t just about new content—it’s packed with tweaks and fixes that improve the overall experience:
UI Overhaul: The Inventory and Quest Journal menus have been redesigned, and the new Equip Menu makes managing your spells and tools easier.
Combat Adjustments: Enemy AI has been refined, with a new Priority Enemy system that improves combat scenarios and optimizes performance.
Accessibility: Dialogue text size now affects manga-style text bubbles, and a Skip Button has been added for conversations.
Visual and Audio Enhancements: Character models have received a polish, and background music now plays seamlessly during level loads.
Bug Fixes: From fixing softlocks to addressing UI glitches, this update tackles many of the issues players have encountered.
Why This Update Matters!
Let’s be honest—Mahou Arms has had a rocky development journey. The long gaps between updates and the occasional radio silence have tested the patience of even the most dedicated fans. But Build 0.4.2027 shows that the developers haven’t given up. This update is a testament to their commitment to delivering a polished, engaging experience.
With Act 1 of the main story now complete (connecting Chapters 1 through 4), the game is finally starting to realize its potential. The new content, combined with the numerous quality-of-life improvements, makes this a great time to jump back in—or even start fresh if you’ve been holding off.
Final Thoughts!
While Mahou Arms still has a ways to go before it’s fully complete, Build 0.4.2027 is a significant step forward. It’s clear that the developers have put a lot of heart and effort into this update, and it shows in the expanded world, refined systems, and improved gameplay.
