addedv0.8 Update Timing and Paladin TrailerWe've got news to share on the v0.8 update. The good news is that it's the biggest update in LORT's history. We're talking new Quests, Weapons 2.0, many new weapons, a new Adventurer, performance upgrades, visual updates, and much more. Some more good news is the feedback from playtesters has been really positive and we aren't even paying them to say that! That being said, we aren't done cooking just yet. We're working on making some necessary changes based on the playtest feedback and giving all the elements enough time in the oven to fully bake. That means the update will not make it in time for Q2 like we originally thought it would. For future updates, we are not going to guess at release timing way in advance as it sets expectations that we may not be able to meet. So yes, the update is delayed. But, we have the first footage of the newest Adventurer coming to LORT to share with you:
