Exiles Rework | IWC 0.37 Pre-Alpha Patch Notes

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.37. We've been talking with the community and designing away for the past month or so, and after a few teases, we're finally showing off the redesign of the Exiles faction! Randomness should be much more controlled, and will hopefully give the faction a new sense of identity around what they want to do - Discard, exile, and create chaos.

[h3]Reminder: FREE DEMO[/h3]
All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.

We'll be working on and experimenting with some marketing and advertising to see what we can do to recapture a lot of our older players, and we've recently finished one of our first public trial ads. You can check it out in the link below.

Also, as a side note, we released the "Our Progress So Far" video with the previous patch, and it's been received amazingly, with a lot of people getting hype for IWC, and enjoying an infotainment style video. Honestly, we appreciate the love and support, and you could end up seeing more new video content in the coming weeks as a result.

Thanks for reading, and as always you can join us on Discord to be a part of the conversation, or sign up on Patreon to get into the game and support Infinity Wars coming back in a big way!
