Fellow ninjas, today marks one whole year since Sairento VR was first released into Early Access. A huge thanks goes to the players that have stuck by us from our humble beginnings (you know who you are), and have been so helpful with filing bug reports and giving suggestions. We are glad to have players as passionate in playing our game as we are in crafting it.
Today we take the Sairento experience a step further with two new maps and a third person recording system, which many of you have been clamoring for since our early days. We look forward to seeing all the cool videos you guys can come up with.
Check out the nifty trailer we've put together to showcase the warped beauty and serenity of how enemies are taken out in Sairento using the recording system.

If you haven't heard already, we will be releasing the campaign in January. It will be a fairly short and concise experience that will introduce you to the lore of Sairento - as well as set the stage for more to come.
