Hey everyone!
As we gear up for the release of Throne of the Herald on 20 October 2022, I’d like to inform you on how the release of this expansion will actually work.
The release will be a lot different compared to prior updates, so please read this carefully so you know exactly what to expect.
Staged Release
We will be doing what is called a “staged release” for the expansion. A staged release means we are releasing the update in two stages, rather than all at once.
It also means that you will be able to play new content sooner than the 20th!
Stages Guide
Stage 1 will be released first on Tuesday, 18 October 2022.
This stage includes:
- The Free Content portion of the expansion release
- Township, Official Mod Support, Astrology Rework and other mentioned free additions
- QoL updates, balancing, changes and bug fixes to the Base Game
- Updated framework of the game in preparation for the Throne of the Herald Release
Stage 2 is the official Throne of the Herald release on 20 October 2022
This stage includes:
- Throne of the Herald content added and unlocked for those who purchased
- The ability to purchase Throne of the Herald DLC is unlocked (No pre-ordering is available)
Why a Staged Release?
This update is incredibly large in terms of content and changes. While we have taken the time to ensure stability of the update, anything can happen on release (as we all know).
Releasing the free content prior to Throne of the Herald will give us a few days to hotfix any potential bugs or issues players could face, before releasing the second giant batch of new content.
We want the launch to be as smooth as possible, and we would love for everyone to play it as soon as it is released with minimal hiccups. This staged release will ideally help make this a reality.
