[h2]New Road Map[/h2]
Today, we also want to share with you an updated Early Access road map detailing the upcoming development milestones in the final months before the full release.



It has already been 6 Early Access updates since the May 2021 EA launch. As you can see you can expect two more... and the third one from now, will bring the game to its 1.0 state and a full launch. Please note, that the price of the full game will be higher than in Early Access. This spring we will also share with you our plans for future, post-release game updates. We're really grateful for all of the support we're getting from you, the players, and it's only natural that the game will be receiving further updates after the full launch.

That is it, for this Thor's-day update.
Stay strong, stay free, and may Odin bless you!

Yours truly,
