Sorry, this update needs to be postponed for a few days……

There will also be a new opening animation, a mission tracking UI, more skills and training mechanisms. Hope you guys could enjoy it.

It has been 54 days since we lauched the Early Access of Sands of Salzaar. We've been trying our best to solve the current issues by the daily updates of high intensity. But it wouldn't work out without you, so thank you all so much for your tolerance and encouragement. Now, we know that you've been longing for new contents, so after the game is relatively stable, we will mainly focus on bring more new contents and gameplay to the game and this may relatively reduce the frequency of the updates.
