The launch hour has not been announced — it is not on Steam or on YouTube. Keen Games has not announced the hour yet; we will add it when it appears. For launch day the developers have announced a "Highlights" video and the code for a Sparkworks showcase adventure.

- Combat, classes and magic — character level up to 50, gear up to 55, a skill tree reset, 9 new spells, summons, wand changes and new skills. Details: combat and class changes in 1.0.
- Fell Dragon Youngling — a reworked boss that is not the final boss of the game. See: Fell Dragon Youngling rework.
- Sparkworks — a new logic system for building adventures with levers, pressure plates, traps and doors. Details: Sparkworks.
- Saves — no wipe; saves move to 1.0 automatically. Details: saves and your character after 1.0.
- Quality of life — in the settings you can pick the old (instant) or the new updraft, characters get new proportions, and NPCs and animals get stuck less.
- Fishing — a new system: bait from the biome, better bait guarantees the fish tier, and special fishing spots.
- Performance — the developers promise the game will run "considerably faster": a new terrain renderer (Brick Renderer), shadow culling, SDF ray tracing 2 to 8 times faster, lower memory use, better networking and faster shader compilation. ReSTIR may come later.
