Future Plans

Our job isn't done yet, there is much to address! We don't have concrete estimations as to when the next big patch will occur, although we have a good idea of the contents it will possess. Our first priority is to release the endgame contents of the game, and then go from there. The Content of the current patch represents around 2/3 of the base game, so we are not that far off!

We will provide more concrete information as we get close to realizing such plans, we need to keep the expectations realistic as to not disappoint everyone by jumping the gun. Rest assured we will do our best to maintain absolute transparency during these update patches as to make sure everyone is on the same page!

And to commemorate this occasion, we are going to make the Gastova Festive Witch Hat Costume available for free during the entirety of the EA Period!


That wraps up our update today. Make sure to let us know via the Discussions what you think, we are always happy to hear your feedback!

Stay safe everyone!
