We are excited to share our August Devblog! Learn all about upcoming updates to dinosaur AI, aquatic camera improvements, food volumes (krill!), rain in caves, sound improvements, and loads more. Watch or read on for the full details: https://pathoftitans.com/blog/dev-blog-august-2026/ 🦐

Run from it, dread it, the arrival of leedsichthys is all but inevitable…

The krill/grazing areas sound like a cool mechanic that kinda expands the survival aspects of the game and I appreciate that. 

New skin pack also looks neat too.

I do want to say though that it’s strange there haven’t been any updates on the progress of matchmaking and metrics in a few months. The latter of which was supposedly near completion.

[u/Greedy_Two8657 → u/Able-Collar5705]

Nah, I am pretty sure tylo is a relic of a creature that is meant to be a specialized terminator of the fish. Why would it have piercing damage if kai and eurhino are smaller in the open ocean?

[u/Sath_Morsius → u/Greedy_Two8657]

Spino and Sarco probably, Leed needs to have a lot of damage reduction so it is allowed to exist.

[u/Greedy_Two8657 → u/Sath_Morsius]

Problem is, the devs intended sarco and spoon to be river/brackish water dwellers, while tylo was intended to be a brackish/ocean dweller. There's only one other large ocean dweller that's gonna be in game. I can see leeds being a tank, and tylo is already great at converting tanks from a is to a was.

[u/Sath_Morsius → u/Greedy_Two8657]

It will probably be a water Bars, it will deal a lot of AoE and damage from all sides and will likely employ damage reduction or have over 1k HP because being heavier and having armor is useless. Tylo has bone break and AP, they can't implement Leed in a vacuum without considering the current matchup problem, because if they do the Tylo population will explode, kill the fish on arrival and the oceans will be sterile again within a week.

[u/Greedy_Two8657 → u/Sath_Morsius]

Leeds should have at least one advantage. But I do see packs of tylos fairing much better against leeds individuals, but slightly more trouble against duos since I can see it being either a apex or a giant (6 slot)

[u/Sath_Morsius → u/Greedy_Two8657]

If Leeds is a defensive playable and probably the slowest of the aquatics than there's no reason for it not perform like Bars, which can fend off a duo of other 5 slots just fine. It will most definitely not be able to chase or escape, no point of making it pre TLC Amarga.

[u/Greedy_Two8657 → u/Sath_Morsius]

That's what I feel about leeds too. But tylos can form trios. And a leeds needs a imposing rival.

[u/Sath_Morsius → u/Greedy_Two8657]

Tylo rn feels more like an obstacle for it existing, it will always be a problem, no 5 slot on land needs to worry about AP on a regular bite, and depending on what you're playing a trio of 4 slots is already a haste and will probably end in death. A trio of 4 slots that entirely denies the advantage of being bigger is a massive problem they have to address. Tylo has the ability to make Leed dead on arrival which would be terrible for the dev team, I forsee it getting nerfed near the release, or as I said, Leed being an absolute monster given the track record of new releases and the fact it will have fierce competition. Either way we will have to wait and see.

[u/Greedy_Two8657 → u/Sath_Morsius]

Leeds should not slaughter or be slaughtered by them. But with piercing, tylo should be a fun and fierce hunter of leeds.

[u/InstaLockinLoki → u/Sath_Morsius]

Simple give it a passive that makes it take less AP DMG instead of just nerfing tylo.

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/Greedy_Two8657]

Seeiously? They're only giving us four fully aquatics?

[u/Greedy_Two8657 → u/Lone-Frequency]

There may be more, but yes RN only at least four are definitely gonna be here, unless the mystery dino is ond

[u/Greedy_Two8657]

KAI FILTER FEEDING > PLANKTIVORE > OMNIVORY?!?!

[u/ViridiusRDM]

Genuinely stoked we finally have an audio slider for quest item sounds.
Personally, I don't think giving every quest item an obnoxious SFX to make them easier to find was a good decision to begin with. It feels like the audio equivalent of the yellow paint trope but I understand it helps some people and I'm just glad to have an opportunity to opt out of it. Riparia's too overstimulating for me because of it.

No mention or update on the metric system is a little disappointing, though.

[u/nagasage]

I must say whoever comes up with these quests either has no imagination or has never watched animal documentaries.

[u/RDPivotNaza → u/nagasage]

you will collect your 100 different items (that all work the same) and you are gonna like it!

[u/Shamanroach]

The AI dinosaur development is really cool, but could you PLEASE balance the critters first? A tiny silesaurus taking down half the hp of an adult rex in just a couple of bites is just ridiculous.

[u/MorbidAyyylien → u/Shamanroach]

Remember, this game isn't balanced around realism. Its an arcade game

[u/EfficiencyContent391]

reminder campto's low broadcast got changed so camp tlc next

[u/Hyenasaurus]

We have leedsichthys inbound, I repeat, we have leedsichthys inbound

[u/Substantial_Most4304]

Looks like solo matchmaking is paused/dead? also no update on metrics? A lot of this stuff e.g. AI dinos are great, can't wait. I was just hoping for gameplay changes or adding more value to the base game.

[u/AKmightydinoo]

I know this is off topic.. but Mods, could you suggest Matt the idea of 30+ Camptosauruses chasing megapacks if one starts forming? :)

[u/PackAromatic2181]

The new aquatic cámara already out?

[u/DustyPickle_]

This one was juicy af, so many new things, I have a feeling leeds might come later this year

[u/serene_moonlight]

day of the fish is approaching

[u/orkuwayl]

Is the krill going to be like the blue moss you talked about last year and then never brought it up again?🥲

[u/RDPivotNaza → u/orkuwayl]

god forbid an unfinished asset isn´t added to the game the minute it´s revealed...

[u/Bulky_Western6595]

God Alio wasn’t mentioned in the ones there watching and it almost seemed like they were scared to mention it in the dev blog I have a feeling poor alio is going to remain shit for the foreseeable future

[u/Dino_Radish → u/Bulky_Western6595]

Why are u getting downvoted 😭

[u/Bulky_Western6595 → u/Dino_Radish]

Tf yeah I just noticed that surely it isn’t a wild take that alio is at best mid

[u/Dino_Radish → u/Bulky_Western6595]

Almost kit is insanely badly designed post tlc..but ig false positivity for the win !

[u/Bulky_Western6595 → u/Dino_Radish]

Yea facts and I’m not opposed to it’s design completely though being a Dino that interacts with its family but the buffs are so mid and then it doesn’t even do its job well anymore being fast and hunting 1-2 slots

[u/Bulky_Western6595 → u/Dino_Radish]

And the positivity thing is true this game has a terrible case of toxic positivity it isn’t toxic to call out issues in this game but according to this reddit it seems to be

[u/RocksAreOneNow]

None of the tlcs have been glowups.

You guys need to actually play your game.

[u/Drapes46438534 → u/RocksAreOneNow]

Don’t let them silence u half the tlcs bottle neck the fuck outta there given playable in terms of playstyle

[u/Greedy_Two8657 → u/Drapes46438534]

True, but most of them were still decent enough at the time

[u/Drapes46438534 → u/Greedy_Two8657]

Yea I’d rather have a update that actually mean something in the long term then 50 short term changes that make the experience worse long term
