Buddy’s Bulletin: XV, September 15th
Howdy Friends,
How are you enjoying the Free Weekend? It's been so great to see Friendtown fill up with new faces, read your Friends vs Friends reviews and hear your excitement for all the updates and changes. Be sure to keep leaving us your reviews, take some time to try out the game and, maybe if you like what you see, consider picking it up. It's never been cheaper and there's never been a better time to play.
You may have also seen that we gave you a glimpse into the future yesterday with Wired Wrecks. We're going to dedicate today's bulletin to answering your questions about what's happening this October, how you can get hold of our first Premium Expansion, and why it's going to be the greatest thing to ever happen to Friendtown. Since opening, of course.

[h2]Reveals of the Week[/h2]
Let's break this down for you...
What is Wired Wrecks?
Why, it's the first of two Premium Expansions confirmed for release in 2023 for Friends vs Friends.
How much will it cost?
For now, it's only included as part of the Friends vs Friends Deluxe Edition. which is bundled alongside Premium Expansion 2. We are also looking into selling this seperately ahead of launch.

When is it coming out?
Wired Wrecks will be releasing in early October. We'll have a final release date for you VERY SOON!
What's included in Wired Wrecks?
Within the Premium Expansion, you'll get the following
- 10 Card Backs
- 10 Hama (Key) Chains
- 5 New Skins
Are KlustR Jr. and the 5 new cards also included?
The new character and cards will be made available as part of a free update (for everyone who owns Friends vs Friends) around the launch of Wired Wrecks. You do not need to pay to play as KlustR Jr or use the new cards.
Wait, the new character will be free?
Yep! Although if you do pick up Wired Wrecks, you'll get 2 additional skins for KlustR Jr to give him some slightly different looks.
How about the Hyena, they look really cool.
Racco is super cool and you can find out a whoooole lot more about them in Wired Wrecks. Invites are open to their Workshop.
What's happening with Premium Expansion 2?
That's also due to release in 2023. We're not quite ready to talk about this one yet but let's just say you can expect similar (and also VERY different) things to Wired Wrecks.
Oh, and how are those console releases cooking?
They're cooking!
Hope we answered everything! But if we didn't, just let us know below and we'll be sure to reply.
[h2]Community Spotlight[/h2]
We're already getting fanart for KlustR Jr. Our newest Friend seems to have won over many hearts and we're so excited to share them with you.
Thanks for sketching this midofox96 from our Discord.
Thank you for sharing all your fan art with us. If you've been making some for Friends vs Friends, why not submit it to the fan art category here? We've seen some fantastic pieces out there and some surely worthy winners.
[h2]Special Shoutouts[/h2]
We've got two very special shoutouts we want to make in today's Bulletin.
Firstly, we're super grateful for the support from the Moonstone Island team yesterday as they gave our Free Weekend a massive push across their networks. Thank you so much for connecting with us and telling the world about what's happening in Friendtown. You won't want to miss Moonstone Island when it releases on Steam next week, September 20! Especially since they also love some deck-building action.

Secondly, if you're loving Friends vs Friends and everything the Brainwash Gang are getting up to, then check out Laika: Aged Through Blood, a Western-Inspired Motorvania that you might spot some references to in Friends vs Friends. You've never explored a post-apocalyptic wasteland quite like this before.

[h2]Mayor’s Message[/h2]
Hey folks, it's me. The Mayor of Friendtown.
Sorry I can't stop for long, this Free Weekend is certainly keeping me on my toes. Everyone's asking for free drinks. Free food. Heck, I've had people asking if they can stay at my place for free. You know, I'd probably let them if they bring me my favourite packet of crisps but that would sort of be defeating the point of 'free' wouldn't it....
It's been so nice connecting with so many wonderful people, some discovering Friendtown for the first time, others coming back for a return visit. We hope you'll stick around and stay with us.
I'd also encourage each and every one of you reading this to tell just one friend about the Free Weekend. Share the love far and wide and let's really take over this...'Steam' place. Whatever that is.
Oh, and if you have stopped by and checked out Friends vs Friends, do take some time to leave us a review. It really helps us to grow, develop and expand, and let's us know what we're getting right. And equally, what we're getting wrong.
Right, better get back to it. Someone's currently moving their sofa into my house and looks like a weekend's supply of munchies. Perhaps if they're willing to share?
That's been me, the Mayor of Friendtown. And you're reading the Mayor's Message.
