Hi everyone,
I’ve decided that the recent big update is too unstable to release in its current state.
This came to light for me after a more rigorous round of play testing.
However, I didn’t want to leave you with nothing, especially after promising something for the 10th. So I’m putting part of the build into SEA (Super Early Access).
You can find instructions on how to join the SEA testing here:

So, when will the full update come out?
I’m still targeting May. I apologise for any frustration caused. I want to make sure the update really delivers and at the moment, it’s just not ready.
I hope you understand why I’ve decided to delay it a bit longer. Thanks so much for your support of Pilgrim - I’m really looking forward to getting this out properly.
As a little teaser, below are the current patch notes currently for the update.
Note: Not everything listed below is in the SEA build - which is a slightly older version of the update.
