Birders!
A new patch is flying your way!
In this update, we introduce a couple of new features and a handful of bug fixes to improve Wingspan and bring you the best experience we can.

A new feature landed in the main menu - the News! From now on you will find there all the crucial updates about patches, upcoming online maintenance works, new game content, and more! So keep your eyes peeled for a shiny feather in the main menu meaning a fresh announcement awaits!



We also improved the bird tray! From now on, when you draw cards from the bird tray and then activate a bird power, allowing you to draw again from the tray, you will see the slots you took cards from are shown as empty.

• "News" section added - game news and updates are now accessible through the game's main menu.
  
• Empty slots on the bird tray are now visually represented when a power using them is activated.
  
• Fix for Eurasian Collared-Dove and Common Starling not tucking cards when using nectar as an option to discard.

[h2]Hi, Birders![/h2]

As promised yesterday, we’re back with yet another scorching hot news flash. You probably know what this one’s about, since it’s that time of the year. It’s summer (in the Northern Hemisphere) and the sun flies over the horizon like the beautiful common crane (it can fly as high as 10 km/3300 feet!). It’s time to celebrate that with the comeback of the eerily beautiful Summer Solstice background, inspired by the Slavic folk culture.



Immerse yourself in the charming and mysterious nature of summers past once more. The background is available for a limited time, or unlimited if you get the Seaonal Decorative Pack.

There’s one more update we’d like to share, too, related to our merch shop.



There are 10 brand new designs to choose from, some featherly funny, like the Royal Pigeonette or Wingspan and Chill patterns, while others feature other amusing animals, like the Leaf Munching Longneck. We’re also running a flash, 25% sale on every item in the shop:

• Today and tomorrow (June 20-21) in the US shop
  
• Tomorrow (June 20) in the EU shop

Head on over to monstercouch.com/merch and grab yourself a hoodie, t-shirt or a mug with your favorite design!



That’s all for today. Have fun celebrating the summer season and stay safe and cozy!

[h2]Hi, Birders![/h2]

Today is announcement day. For some time now, there has been one major hardware that was missing a nest for the birds of Wingspan. We’re finally happy to announce that we’re bringing the game to the last of the 3 big consoles on the market. You could say it’s the final nest, the final station.



There’s lots of good news to unpack here, so let’s go with a bullet point approach this time:

• The game will be coming to both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, so owners of both will be able to enjoy the relaxing bird-chirping and card-laying.
  
• Aside from the base game, all DLCs and seasonal decorative packs will also be available at launch, separately and in bundles! These include: European Expansion, Oceania Expansion, Seasonal Bundle & Woodland Wonders Decorative Pack.
  
• Cross-platform multiplayer will be playable at launch! This means you’ll be able to jump into a game with friends or strangers, regardless of which platform they play on. We’re keeping up with the tradition of bringing the Wingspan players family together!
  
• As for the release date, we’ll be sharing it real soon, so keep your eyes peeled for the announcement.
  
• And last, but certainly not least - the PlayStation edition of Wingspan will be coming to the platform in both digital and physical form! Thanks to our friends and partners at Merge Games, we’ll be bringing you a Special Edition box that will not only include the base game, but also the European & Oceania Expansions and the Seasonal Decorative bundle!

And for those of you who like to watch trailers during breaks from birdwatching, here’s a short announcement video we prepped for the occasion:

Honestly, we’re super happy to finally be able to launch the game on the final big platform that the Sony PlayStation is. As mentioned above, the release date announcement is coming soon. And just as a heads-up, we’ll also be sending another, smaller news your way tomorrow - have your inbox beaks ready to catch that worm fresh.

Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow!
