About Beta Versions:

We will release a Beta version before each major update. You can choose to launch the game in either the standard or Beta version.

Beta versions contain new content, but inevitably contain bugs and other instabilities. Once the Beta content is stable, we will release it to the official version.

Beta versions are only available on Windows.

Note: Once you launch your save file in the Beta version, we cannot guarantee that it will work properly in older versions.
