Wrocław, May 20, 2026 - Whitemoon Games just launched In Cold Blood, a free endgame update for their isometric MMORPG, Broken Ranks. The update sends level 140 players into the Monastery of the Order of the Forgotten Dawn - a corrupted knightly order that fell silent one night and never answered again.
In Cold Blood is endgame content for Broken Ranks, built for level 140 characters with solid gear. The road to Volkhard runs through the Monastery of the Order of the Forgotten Dawn - transformed knights, elite and champion enemies, and puzzles that demand more than just combat. Players who make it through and take down Volkhard have a chance at four new legendary items with unique properties, designed for max-level characters.
Entry is limited. Each Wednesday, players can get up to 7 tickets for the week. To purchase entries, players will need to pay in gold and gather components. The first component is Grandmaster Glyphs - the same ones used in crafting Legends, now with a new purpose. The second component will be obtained through a daily quest. Don’t have time for the daily quest? Components can be bought from other players. It’s also a good option for those still too weak for this boss instance - instead of fighting, they can earn gold by selling gathered materials.
“We hope the monastery of the Order will prove to be exactly what our most demanding players are looking for - a satisfying challenge and a story you will remember long after Volkhard falls. Our top players always find a way - In Cold Blood is a fresh challenge to find a way through. We'll see how long that takes.”
Here’s what you can expect in this content update:
- new region - the Monastery Grounds,
- new endgame party instance (for characters level 140) together with a boss (Volkhard),
- new challenges and enemies,
- new Daily Quest required to create a component of the boss entry item
- 4 new rare pieces of gear,
- puzzles that require more than just strength,
- new Side Quest for the boss.

Full changelog: https://brokenranks.com/en/news/update-1160
Broken Ranks is a free-to-play MMORPG developed by Whitemoon Games, available on PC and Android (Polish Early Access). It is a spiritual successor to The Pride of Taern. The game features a turn-based, tactical combat system viewed from an isometric perspective. The atmosphere is grim and mature, drawing comparisons to classic RPGs such as Baldur's Gate (in narrative depth) and Heroes of Might and Magic (in turn-based combat structure). Set in a dark, low-fantasy world, this MMORPG emphasizes story-driven quests, guild-based cooperation, PvP and PvE content, and character progression across multiple classes.
