¹The Halloween event has been postponed by 1 day because Apple denied our release within the proper timeframe. We released today and it takes 24-48 hours to be delivered worldwide, so we decided to delay the event to allow everyone to play properly from the start.

²The new prestige artifacts may have a known issue that makes you unable to unlock them. This will be fixed as soon as the Halloween event is over!
