You'll be back! Right after you've filled up on beer and crisps, celebrating Independence Day. And rightly so - thats way more important than our latest patch, which only goes and introduces a BRAND NEW BOSS for the Jungle levels!
After working long and hard on tweaking combat and every single weapon in the game, plus various bug fixes, tweaks and community-suggested changes, we decided it was time to unleash Queen Yatcha on you wonderful lot!
Currently only available in singleplayer or local multiplayer (we're still facing some troubles with all bosses in Online play), Yatcha Queen is from a race so damn ugly that they invented stealth suits! She's too vain to use one though, so expect some other tricks up her sleeve!
We're also aware that there is some kind of sneaky bug in Jungle that seems to occasionally affect the frame rate. We're hunting it down right now, apologies for the issue but we didn't want it to stop us from delivering on our weekly update promise!

Known Issues:
