Hello village elders!
Brand new from the Public Stage comes our Fall Update for you! It contains many improvements and fixes and some new features. Have a look at the notes below to see what has changed.
But as the saying goes, before the update is after the update, and that's why we'll be diligently pursuing two more major updates planned on the roadmap.
What we are also looking forward to on this very day: Medieval Dynasty is also coming out on console today! Tell your console friends about it! Or gift them a copy for the next festive occasion! 😉
We hope you enjoy playing and we'll definitely catch up with you soon!
