We're happy to announce that the v1.1.1 is live on PC!
This update will also be deployed on consoles in the coming weeks.
This new major update includes improved game balancing towards enemies, classes and level design, and bug fixes. To reassure some of you, the purpose wasn't to make the game easier but simply fairer and more balanced, with a hard mode that remains very challenging.
