9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far News

Commanders,

We will be hosting Fight Night Friday. This is an open-to-all community event where we encourage everyone to get on and play some games. We will be hosting versus games whether as PVP or PVE but if you want to play some survival or co-op campaign those are also on the table.

All skill levels are welcome, do not worry if this is your first time playing with others or you're an old hat. We will try to balance teams in any PVP lobbies to make it fair as best guess.
