Before diving into the latest updates in this devlog, we want to take a moment to thank you all for the support you’ve shown our team following last week’s delay announcement. Knowing that you’re growing attached to the project we’re working so hard on - and that you understand how much we care about shaping it in the way we believe is best - truly gives us a boost as we push through this final stretch. We’ve also read and taken note of your concerns, and we’d like to dedicate part of this post to addressing a few of the questions you’ve raised in the comments. First, we noticed some confusion regarding the game’s release: it will launch as a full release - there will be no Early Access period. That’s precisely why we’re taking a bit more time to refine the experience!

With that said, let’s dive back into the many things you’ll be able to do in this city that never sleeps.
