It's important to remember that everything Contagion is still WIP as we continue to work towards our Full Release date of April 11th and will as we said will be pouring in with more communication and sharing of work being added to the priority list and Joe Henson our new PR guy will make sure to prod me to provide all that is necessary so that we won't be distracted from the work!
We will be releasing Barlowe and the maps game-modes soon after (important to remember that Hunted releases first because it's the foundation we build off and allows us to release the following game-modes rather quicker while not depriving you of the new content).
We have plenty more to come and would like to again thank you all for your respect, patience, and insane amount of support! While we can't make everyone happy we will be doing our best to release a great game most will love and have you guys to thank! More to come-
-The Contagion Team
