My original plan was to release the big update and set up a major discount at the beginning of September. BUT! Silksong is coming out. Which means that in the near future, all Metroidvania fans will be busy with it.

I don’t see any point in releasing exciting new content into the void, so I’ve decided to postpone the new version by one month.

So - the hardcore mode, new achievements, and the content patch will launch on October 6th!

Thank you for your understanding!
