Intro
Hey there, Storm Strikers! It's Alphakaman, your Design Team Leader!
Looks like this time around, we've got a bit of a mix-up from what was planned. We're rolling out some handy features and tweaking character balances a bit.
Sorry to everyone who was hyped up for the new character Electra and the Telents system. Things didn't pan out as we hoped.
We've been hammering out the details for our 2024 roadmap and ended up making some big changes to our development plan.
So, this patch is kind of like a little breather, sprinkling in some minor improvements here and there.
We'll fill you in on the updated long-term schedule with an AMA or a livestream down the line.
This update will be hitting your screens from 3 PM to 5 PM Korea Standard Time (KST) on February 7, 2024. Stay tuned!
