| Full release on October 5th. Monthly Changelog #7 | 2023-06-28 | Hello, Commanders! Before we get to the changelog, let's share with you the latest decision we made.

Titles such as Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, and Lies of P, to name just a few, release around the same period. While some of you have pointed it out as we announced our release date, we couldn't put Zoria, an indie game, and other AAA production titles, in the same league (but thanks to those of you who did, we took it as a huge compliment!). Long story short, we feel that shifting our release date would give Zoria the attention |
