Today we’re releasing a big update with plenty of new content and features. Due to its nature, we’ll be running a short betatest before making the public release.

Beta update information

• This beta will only run on Steam.
• While we’re 99% sure it won’t break your save, we recommend keeping a backup just in case.
• You CAN’T go back to the public branch once you join the beta until it’s complete, unless you use “Restore Backup” and are OK with losing all progress done during the beta.
• The beta will NOT be playable cross-platform. If you are using the Cloud Saves to share your saves with other platforms, we recommended to stay on the public branch.
• The beta version will NOT create save backups. This allows you to use the “Restore Backup” feature to go back to the public branch.
• The beta version WILL upload Cloud Saves as usual.
• Progress done on the beta will be kept once the beta period ends (unless some game-breaking bug is found).
• Timeframe for the full release of the update is: A few days after the beta has released, if no major issues have been found, we’ll send the update for certification on consoles. After that, actual release time will depend on certification time. Somewhere between mid July and early August.
