Hello castaways. The announcement for our Early Access launch date is getting near, hoping to have some good news within two weeks! In the meantime, you can enjoy the latest Playtest patch that includes three new quests, new ashore items and a very much needed in-game bug report system available on the main menu.

Thank you for those that took the time to answer our form. Remember that it is always available on the main menu, and it is per-version! So feel free to provide the new sentiment on new updates.

Full changelog
