[h2]Greetings Guardians! [/h2]

Thank you so much for all the support and kindness you've shown our small team in the first week of our game's launch - we're overwhelmed with the amount of support! You've been incredibly helpful by sharing the bugs and issues you've encountered.

There are still issues to address and it's likely others will pop up, the five of us are quickly looking to address what we can by importance and volume and we've been hard at work implementing a number of fixes to issues you, our community highlighted. These include;

[h3]Gameplay changes & fixes[/h3]

• We've added a Wisp after the glide cavern, to help guide the player towards Mosswood
  
• In the Sunfire passage, the door that requires pressure plates, now requires rope pulls to open it, allowing players to backtrack if they want
  
• The Raven logic has been updated. Now, Thought the Raven will return to you even if you choose not to follow her directions
  
• Murals now ignite regardless of Thought being with you or not. Now murals will always be lit, so you don't miss then on the change Thought has gone on her own little adventure..
  
• Tweaks to the Sunfire passage to make the area more consistent and streamlined
  
• The Guardian Intro Cutscenes now only play once per gameplay session
  
• Added an additional condition for Thought joining you, fixing for players who managed to miss her
  
• Dropped Items now disappear after 3 minutes instead of 2
  
• The Raccoon Cleanup Crew will hold items for a full 10 seconds before taking it (instead of 5), giving the player more time to react

• Tree trunk collisions updated, so foxes are no longer stuck in trees..
  
• Stormvale cliff meshing around Ram Temple updated to keep players from climbing up to the top before returning the Relics
  
• We've added numerous blockers for player graves in dungeons, so that the graves will no longer spawn at the bottom of inaccessible pits and instead, close to the last spot they fell from
  
• Performance Issues near player home mirrors fixed
  
• Forest Tower collision fixes
  
• Blockers added to Misthaven to keep players from leaving before cleansing Memory

From us at Infuse and Silver Lining, thankyou so much again for your support.

[h3]Greetings, Guardians,[/h3]

Thank you all for your continued support and feedback since the launch of Spirit of the North 2.
Every message, report, and piece of feedback is what guides us, and we are truly grateful for your help in making this game enjoyable for all. We’ve been listening closely and working hard to fix things as fast as they come up.

Our current focus is split between tackling the most critical issues and implementing some much-requested quality of life (QoL) features, all aimed at improving your experience.



[h3]🐞 PC Bug Fixes[/h3]
Most notable issues are a few soft locks, visual and audio bugs.
A full list of changes will be included in the official patch notes once the update is live.

[h3]🎬 Quality of Life Update[/h3]
One of the most requested features is on the way:
Intro cutscenes for Guardian encounters will now only play once per session. No more sitting through repeats when you just want to dive back in.

[h3]🖥️ PC Patch Timing[/h3]
We’re aiming to release the PC patch by the end of this week.

[h3]🎮 Console Updates[/h3]
Console patches are also in the works! One of the most notable fix is for a Global Illumination bug that causes underground areas to be darker than intended. This patch will also include fixes for issues that effect all platforms. It will take a little longer than PC to release, as they have to be submitted for approval!



We're hoping to have all of these updates live before the end of next week!

Thanks again for you patience. Your feedback is helping shape Spirit of the North 2 into everything we know it can be, and we’re excited to share more news with you soon!
