Dear players,
It has been nearly a month since Ring of Elysium(ROE)'s Early Access launch on Steam on September 19, 2018. Although the launch initially encountered a lot of difficulties, the enthusiasm and encouragement from the players was always there to support us, helping ROE get through its most difficult period. In this regard, all members from the ROE development team expresses their most heartfelt thanks and appreciation.
Many players have been very curious and interested about the future development plans of ROE. We already have some interesting ideas about this and we want to share them with you today.
