⚠️ Important: Kickstarter Reward Skins

Two previously Kickstarter-exclusive skins were mistakenly released as free content after launch due to a configuration error, allowing all players to obtain them. This issue cannot be rolled back technically. After internal discussion, we have decided:

For players who did not back the KickstarterWe will create new reward content as compensation, to be delivered within three weeks .
For the two original skinsThey will be officially adjusted as free DLC available to all players .
