Noita Epilogue Update

Noita Epilogue update is out now. It's one of our biggest updates yet and is also going to be the last major update for Noita. The change list alone is 319 entries long. You can read the full release notes at the end of this post.

While this is the last major update for Noita, it's not going to be the End of Everything. We'll still keep an eye out for bugs and try to patch them. There is also a thriving modding scene, which is producing amazing mods for the game. And most importantly the Noita player community is more active than ever.

Massive thanks to the community for your support!
It’s been a long journey.

Edit: April 2 hotfix release notes can be found here.
