Current state of things
1. Content update
The content update "The Perished City" will be on the Beta branch soon.
This took us longer than anticipated. More about that over here in this roadmap update: https://steamcommunity.com/games/941460/partnerevents/edit/523078230806102912
The main elements for the update are in place now, but there's still a bunch of improvements to be made.
2. Beta branch
We have a beta branch where we update the game more frequently.
You'll find more info about the beta branch and about testing in general over here:
