Still Wakes the Deep changes
Ever since we launched Still Wakes the Deep nearly one year ago, we have been blown away by the reception it received. From glowing reviews by the media and content creators experiencing the demise of the Beira D alongside their chat, all the way to every single review and comment made by our incredible players, including you reading this right now - it has truly been heartwarming.
What made us even happier were the awards that we were not only nominated for, but won!
