In preparation for the May 5th, 2022 official support and server shutdown of AA:PG, we are releasing the final PC patch beforehand. Official support and servers will still be available until May 5, 2022 for both platforms. This will allow us to work on hotfixes based on player feedback and make the final version of AA:PG on PC the best it can be. Also, by logging into AA:PG on PC between the patch release date and shutdown date, most of your player stats can be preserved.
The specific patch date is TBA, so stay posted.
In order to prepare for the changes coming, take a look at the features and fixes planned for the patch.
