Greetings Hunters,
We’re excited to announce that 0.51 is now live! Just make sure to update your game and then you can continue your journey through Zakov.
As we mentioned in our dev blog last week, this update will bring some much awaited quality of life features to the game and over 40 bugs squashed - ones we know have been especially frustrating the community.
Without any delay, let’s get into the patch notes!
Patch Notes 0.51
In this patch, the devs worked on Quality of Life improvements with a focus on bug fixes, additional controller support and localisation updates.
