Hello everyone!

As you know, the initial release timing for Nidra was set as “Summer 2023”, as noted by the Season 1 Pass end screen of her teaser, among other places. As the end of the summer fast approaches us, it’s pretty clear to us (and probably some of you!) that she won’t be released within that time frame.

We know that any kind of delay is unfortunate, and we know some of you will have expected this, but at the very least what we do have on the way is a balance patch.

As you’re likely aware, we haven’t had an update to the game since Stronghoof’s release, and that was mostly due to complications with properly being able to port the game’s updates to consoles. This has been rectified, and we are in the process of getting the post-SH release balance patch set up to be ported! We don’t have a date just yet, but hold tight!

Included in this patch will also be an update to the EOS backend networking systems. This might not mean a lot to everyone, but it should hopefully sort out some of the networking issues that have been happening over the past half a year or so.

We’ll obviously have more details coming soon™️ so thank you all so much for sticking with us through this time!

Yeah, so to clarify that little bit at least, as we move into the last few months of the year, the submission and approval times for consoles go up by like, a lot. Like multiple weeks to a month longer than usual.

So there’s a lot of shifting around of stuff, and it’s why the balance patch is being mentioned. That has (mostly) been ready for a while, just needing to be ported and whatnot, so we’re going to be pushing that through hopefully before the extension on approval/submission stuff comes in, since that’s mostly ready. That “ready” is dependent on the porting side of things, however.

We’ve wanted to get a balance patch out for a while, but circumstances made it not possible. It’s incredibly frustrating to not get updates to the game that you’re playing, and we know that, so we want to get this out finally, now that we’re able to.
