Hi hunters! ːsmall_batː

It's been quite a while since we've chatted, and we're very pleased to announce we're rolling out an update for Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition! We've just rolled out a new public beta for Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition, giving you access to the 'Immortal' 5.0 patch for the game.

To join the beta, select Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition in your Steam library, choosing 'Properties' and then navigating to the beta menu! From there, you can opt-in to the open beta.



IMPORTANT NOTE

• Any local saves from the non-beta version won't support these new features/changes
