Basilisk Games has announced the release of a new content-packed update for its RPG Eschalon Book II, bringing the title to v1.05 and adding a lengthy bonus adventure along with a ton of new improvements and changes to the title.

The patch adds ‘The Secret of Fathamurk’, a five hour bonus adventure set in a secret dungeon that lies beneath the Farrock Caves. The content update is available free to those who own the game, and comes packed full of bug fixes, balance tweaks and other new additions as well.

To celebrate, the game has been given a 20% discount on Steam and Impulse and goes for $20. That’s $5 off the standard $25 price tag through Tuesday, November 9.
