We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated players for their unwavering support over the years, and especially during the beta tests that have helped us enormously in the run-up to this day. Without you, none of this would be possible. We hope that you enjoy what we've been working very hard on over the past year.
In case you've missed it, please check out our "road to release event" news with the dates for live streams, a Reddit AMA, the soundtrack preview and more.
