Our second Closed Beta Weekend, scheduled for 6/22-6/24/2018, is hot on the completion of our first major patch since first revealing the game.
We’ve done our best to listen to the variety of feedback that came from our Feedback Form, Social Media, Streamer and Content Creator commentary, and of course our Fractured Lands Partners.
Thank you! You have been instrumental in helping us make fixes to our title in development. Below represents the total adjustments made in our latest patch that you’ll be able to try in this weekend Beta period. We also included some notes on feedback/info we collected that we are addressing but cannot completely finish/fix in this patch–and will address or continue to address in later versions.
