Hello everyone,
Seems like we were a tad premature with our post last week.
We said that Ubisoft Connect would be an optional-only feature at 1.0, but things have evolved.
There will in fact be no Ubisoft Connect at all for the game on Steam.
Now we are aware that some people might have wanted Ubisoft Connect in order to do cross-saves with consoles. If this is requested by a lot of players at 1.0, then there are other ways we could address cross-saves and we can explore that if/when it comes :)
No price increase in January
We'd also previously mentioned a price increase after the Winter Sale but again our plans have slightly changed.
We won’t be raising the price in January, but we will still raise the price at some point in the future, considering all the content that has been added and will be added, but right now isn't the right moment. It's a Christmas miracle.
Also, we will have our biggest ever discount of 25% for the Steam Winter Sale. Just sayin.
Roadmap
In case anyone missed it, last week we posted a loose roadmap for the first half of 2025:
If you want more insight into that then go read our previous Steam post: https://steamcommunity.com/games/2717880/announcements/detail/4479488435875218790
Essentially we'll be polishing the bejeezus out of all the features we added this year while feeding in some new content, addressing some issues and getting the final biomes/boss ready.
We can't wait for all that but right now we're going to go eat, drink, sleep and get merry for a week or two to recover from this crazy year.
Have a great holiday break!
Matt & the EE team
