Squad 44 News

Greetings!

The last few weeks have been relatively quiet as we start to prepare for the upcoming release of Chapter 4: Watch On The Rhine.

But for the more regular stuff, we are continuing bug fixing and improving upon the Engine Update that release earlier in June. This update brings a couple of important fixes, but also incorporates some feedback from our community. Most of them related to layer improvements.

We are also working on some more optimization to get us closer to the goal of 100 players. We aim to run a public playtest this upcoming weekend and we will release another post with details on how you can participate. So keep your eyes out for that.
