[h3]Game Update[/h3]

Hello Officers,

In this update, we added 'Intel' in the Main Menu. Intel will serve as a library for players new and old to learn more about the units, Battlesuits, structures, weapons and vehicles in Eximius. We plan to expand it with the upcoming new content. Do let us know what other stats you would like to see. We also did some minor tweaks to the AI, weapons and the Spectator Mode as well as the usual bug fixes.

For our next major update we're toying with the idea of adding a DBNO mechanic. It should create a more interesting team dynamic and experience surrounding a downed teammate. We're curious to know what do you think about it? Let us know here or on our Discord channel.



[h3]Eximius Level-Up Play-One Invitational Tournament[/h3]

The tournament will be part of Level UP Play-One online event. Do check out the website and the other interesting online activities and seminars. All the competing teams have been invited. We will be sharing more information regarding the teams, times and online streams in the very near future.



[h3]Eximius is part of Bitsummit Gaiden![/h3]

For lovers of Indie Games, we're proud to announce that we'll be part of this year Bitsummit Gaiden, the first ever online Bitsummit event. The on-site event was supposed to happen a few months back in Kyoto, Japan. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the event was converted to an online one instead. The event will start on the 27th June. In the mean time, do check out the other cool and amazing indie games being showcased on the website. We'll be sharing more Bitsummit related news sometime in June.
