10/29/26 - Chaos Chain MAJOR *HALLOWEEN* Update 1.117.0

Chaos Chain

>> Attention, freelancers!

I've got a new update ready to roll out. This one has a lot of new stuff! The most important is a large new side quest storyline for Halloween - "The Culling"!

The Slade Slasher is at it again, killing the innocent and leaving a trail of bodies! It's up to you to bring this monster down, or join his victims among the dead! (The quest line can be started in Ashen Row at the newspaper stand near the metro!)

Check out the full change log below!

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*
