Workshop Version (Late October ~ Early November):[/p][p]We will give priority to promoting the integration and interconnection of the Steam Workshop function, making it convenient for esteemed Warlocks to share the creative maps they have made; at the same time, we will also continue to advance the launch of the domestic PC version to facilitate the gaming experience for domestic Warlock friends;[/p][p]
Brand-New Gameplay (Late November ~ Long-Term Updates):[/p][p]We are considering adding a brand-new gameplay experience to the game. Currently, the preliminary plan focuses on increasing the survival difficulty and customizing the starting character for challenge progression. At the same time, we will also actively adopt everyone's opinions to further improve the game content;[/p][p]
Mobile Version (Q1 2026 ~ Q2 2026):[/p][p]During this stage, we will first prioritize improving the basic porting content of the mobile version and arrange a new mobile test for the rebooted version. We also want to let the friends who have been waiting for the mobile version experience it as soon as possible; however, due to the need for certain optimizations and fixes for related porting bugs, the official release of the mobile version will be a little later. Nevertheless, we will strive to launch it and meet everyone as soon as possible![/p][p]
More Plans (Ongoing):[/p][p]For new creature content and home decoration items, we will add them in a timely manner according to the version schedule.
