Greetings Goblins,
It’s been a while since we last spoke, but today we bring some exciting and important news. Before we jump into it, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of our players. Whether you're currently building your goblin village or have taken a break (once a goblin, always a goblin!), we truly appreciate all the feedback and support you've given us. You’ve played a big part in the game's success, and we’re incredibly grateful. However, we know we have not fully delivered on the promise and potential of this game we love so much. So, after a lot of long thinking and design work, we have come to an important and difficult decision. Do some major rework!
Over the past months, we’ve been working hard, not just on smaller updates and bug fixes but on something much bigger. And here it is: Goblins of Elderstone will be launching a major 2.0 overhaul update later this year! This includes a much-needed and overdue engine upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.5! This will mean significant visual improvements, new gameplay features, and an overall enhanced gameplay experience, taking into account all of our players' feedback over the year. We are very excited to deliver this new version to you soon!
Of course, such a big shift comes with challenges. As a result, we’ll be pausing regular small updates for a while so we can focus all our efforts on this major update. But don’t worry—this isn’t a step back. It’s a major leap forward for the future of the game.
We’ll be sharing sneak peeks along the way to keep you updated. Once we’re close to launch, we’ll invite some hardcore players to help test the new version and share their feedback.
Before we wrap up, we want to say thank you once again. Your passion and support make everything we do possible. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just joined recently, your presence means the world to us.
And if you're not already in our Discord community, now's the perfect time! It’s the best place to get early looks, share your thoughts, and stay on top of all things Goblins of Elderstone.
Until the next riot!
