[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]
As the release of the Fishing Update (1.4) and the Keepers of the Stone DLC is just around the corner, you can now watch livestreams and gameplays from content creators to discover what's coming to the game on September 26.

In this article, you’ll also find more information about the settlement saves and Legacy Branch as well as the invitation to our livestream.

[h2]Content Creator Previews[/h2]
Gameplays and livestreams of the Fishing Update (1.4) and the Keepers of the Stone DLC are out in the wild. Here are a couple of videos from content creators featuring the new content:

[h2]Settlement saves information and Legacy Branch[/h2]

[h3]Finish the settlement before the Update[/h3]
Important: Due to numerous systemic changes, the Update will close the ongoing settlements to avoid potential issues. As compensation, you’ll receive extra Citadel Resources and Royal Resupply (from now on, you can also decline this award).

If you don't want your ongoing settlement to be closed, please make sure to finish it before the update goes live on September 26. Your Cycle progress and meta progress will remain intact.

[h3]Legacy Branch 1.3 (Steam only)[/h3]
For those of you who won’t find the time to finish the settlement before the Update goes live or prefer to stay on the current “pre-Frogs” version, we also prepared a Legacy Branch with the current version 1.3.4.

If you desperately need to finish your ongoing settlement after the Fishing Update 1.4 release, you can switch to the Legacy Branch 1.3, finish it there, and return to the main branch with Update 1.4 later.

The Legacy Branch 1.3 will remain available for the foreseeable future and we’ll share a detailed instruction on how to access it in the update notes on September 26 and in a separate Steam Guide.

[h2]Developer livestream[/h2]
We also invite you to join us this Wednesday for a Twitch livestream during which we’ll present and discuss the major features coming in both the Fishing Update 1.4 and the Keepers of the Stone DLC as well as answer your questions during the Q&A segment.

Against The Storm already contains a zoo's-worth of animal-people to order around as you attempt to build a town that can survive the perma-rain of the Blightstorm. That doesn't stop new expansion Keepers Of The Stone from adding one more. Come September 26th, you'll be able to welcome the frog people as you venture into a new biome.

[h2]FEATURES[/h2]
Keepers of the Stone brings a new layer of replayability and variance to Against the Storm – some of its most prominent features include:

• Manage Frogs - new playable species - and incorporate their expertise in stonemasonry and rainpunk into your strategy.
  
• Embark to the Coastal Grove - a new biome where every settlement begins on the shores of a bay and you can find treasures both inland and in the waters.
  
• Launch expeditions to acquire blueprints and powerful perks. Despite the limited supply of blueprints from the Queen, you can finance Water Striders to search for blueprints from selectable categories of buildings.
  
• Construct new buildings - Pantry, Cannery, and Frog House - each offered only to Frogs.
  
• Use Frogs’ starting ability to locate nearby ruins and rebuild them to gain access to an extra building.
  
• Assign a Frog firekeeper to increase the arrival speed of Newcomers.
  
• Build and upgrade Frog Houses up to four levels, each providing two unique benefits to choose from. But beware! Frogs care about their living standards so much they refuse to live in shelters.
  
• Grow more powerful and find new synergies with five new Cornerstones.
  
• And more!

On the same day - September 26th - Update 1.4 (Fishing Update) will be released for free, introducing a new fishing system, new requirements, new goods, and many other changes for everyone who owns the base game. You can read more about it here:

May the storm be gentle on you,
Eremite Games

Hooded Horse's roguelike city builder Against the Storm slipped out of early access late last year—too late to be in contention for PCG's Game of the Year Awards. Which is a shame, because—as our 91% review can attest—it's a triumphant reimagining of the genre, and a game that absolutely deserves more attention...
