What's New?
Greetings all! The Wales Interactive team are back to release the Unity 5 update we’ve been working on for the past couple of months. You may have gathered from our previous announcement here, upgrading a game engine mid-development is never an easy thing to do but it’s a decision we had to go ahead with to ensure we’d get the right outcome when releasing the final version of the game.
So, this update brings you all the Unity 5 updates listed below and a brand new level to get stuck into as well as our brand new story trailer.
Note: We’ve rolled out the PC version of this update today with Mac and Linux versions closely following next week. We'll also be releasing more content from Chapter Four next week so stay tuned.
