Green Man Gaming Publishing and Small Impact Games announced today that The Black Death's latest update is here, bringing with it beggars, bounties, and more. The full set of new features is as follows.

  • The Beggar Profession - A brand new profession is available to play! Times are hard and many have been reduced to begging in the streets. Beggars excel at crafting poor quality trinkets and decorative items. They have an improved resistance to the plague and the ability to beg for money allowing other players to toss them gold coins.
  • The Bounty System - A price on your head, literally! Live like an outlaw robbing and murdering for your own ends, but be careful, as now your head will gain a gold value as you commit more crimes! An outlaw or a vigilante? The choice is yours.
  • Revamped Tundra Area - A brand new fort, with purchasable houses, has opened its gates in the snowy northern crags.
  • Enhanced Combat - An update to the combat system including new weapon hit reactions, effects, audio and active parry ability.
  • Enhanced User Interface -  An updated UI makes it slicker and easier to use.
  • New Weather Effects - Snow and rain have began to fall across Mercia.
  • Community Named Tavern - The Scummy Sturgeon has opened its doors in Freeman’s port! Named by the Black Death community, a place for all you salty sea dogs to knock back some fine ale and forget the troubles of the world.

According to the press release, The Black Death will be 15% off for a limited time. As of this writing, the game is not yet discounted on Steam.
