Eximius Summer 2019 Update Phase 1 - June 26th, 2019
Attention Officers,
Summer is here and so is the Eximius Summer 2019 Update. For this update, we will be delivering it in 2 phases. We will be focusing on new players on-boarding for the 1st phase. An all new tutorial, Weapon Credits system and Skirmish AI Difficulty (Experimental) are being added. We think that the Weapon Credits will improve team dynamics and provide a more interesting gameplay. Do let us know your thoughts on it and just send us any ideas on how we can expand this system.
We're aiming to deliver the Phase 2 update during the Steam Summer Sale itself. We'll be including a Scoreboard and update the Skirmish AI with your feedback. The Challenge Dome will be accessible as well so do look forward to that.
As usual, remember to join our weekly PvP festivals and look forward to our future streams and podcasts where we explore more of what's to come. We'll see you all on the frontline!
