[h3]Soldiers![/h3]
It has been a while since the last Developer Update, but we are back with a new name and a lot of new information!
We realized that calling these blogs ‘Developer Updates’ caused some confusion among players. Some believed it to be actual releases, rather than an update on what we were working on. By changing the name we hope to make it more clear this is not a real update, but a progress report for the next update.
As you may have noticed, this Battle Pass is lasting not three, but almost four months! Not only does this give all of you more time to earn all the rewards, but it also gives us more time to give you an even better Season 3 and before that an even better Maintenance Update! In which we will focus on better visibility and a brand new tutorial for new players!
[h3]Developer Blogs[/h3]
In the developer blogs we share all the tasks that we have completed in the past few weeks, which features are currently being tested, are still being worked on and of course all the bugs that we have squashed! We will end each developer blog with a short look at what we will be working on in the upcoming weeks.
We will not always be able to share all the details of our work. Some items are too far in the future to talk about already. Certain tasks contain internal information that we just cannot share. Every once in a while, we might be working on something we want to surprise you with! We will do our very best to be as transparent as we can be!
Be advised that not every feature that we have completed will be deployed in the upcoming release. Some features are part of larger updates that will be released further into the future.
