Embers Adrift added Alchemy with the latest update, letting you use Ember to empower your combat skills in new ways. The update also added new customization options, including new hair, and an updated roadmap.
Alchemy is something the Stormhaven Studios team has planned to add for a while, and now it is finally included. Ember is the source of magic in the world, rising to the surface with the Great Sundering. In this world, Ember is a natural phenomenon.
“We are now in what the team calls Alchemy Phase II, with Alchemy Phase I being things like teleportation via Ember Monolith, Emberdrift, and Ember Ring. As well as things like ashen variants of creatures, Ember Ring healing, crafting with flux, creature mutation, and all the other ways Ember is naturally presenting itself in the world.”
In order to use Alchemy, you'll need to account for the Strategic decision making since using something like ember essence will come with trade-offs like increased execution time and Essence consumption. There will also be cooldowns to consider, and essentially this serves as another way to deepen combat. For example, you might take advantage of some things like increased damage multipliers, better healing, and other options like attack resist and damage conversion. Since this adds something potentially different to all skills, the team will be looking to balance this actively.
There are new hairstyle options for customization, along with a new subscriber perk that is a single cosmetic slot to the character screen that will enable the visual of the item slotted in there without the stats. It's like a sideways transmog. The update also enables custom chat colors with a workaround and a promise to provide a simpler option later.

'83 was announced in 2019 as a persistent FPS for up to 80 players set in an alt-history world where the Cold War turned hot. Development was being handled by Antimatter Games, the team behind the excellent Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, but work was put on hold in May 2022 so the team could focus on its IGI Origins reboot, and then it all ran aground a year later when parent company Enad Global 7 elected to close the studio. The fates of '83 and IGI Origins were unclear in the wake of the studio shutdown, but it sure didn't look good for either of them.
