Grim Dawn

Cairn is still there, and so is everyone else.

Grim Dawn came out in 2016 and got its third and final expansion in July 2026. This guide covers what a returning or new player actually has to decide: every devotion shrine by act with what it asks for, the ten masteries and how the dual-class works, the thirteen factions, the eleven nemeses — and what Fangs of Asterkarn moved, because it moved more than the patch notes suggest.
