As always you can watch us build the game live on Twitch. This has been a really rough couple of months as shown in our latest development video. Thank you for being an awesome community and being there for us. I never expected such kindness and it means a lot to me. This is the last minor patch for Animus. After this it will be two major patches and the chapter will be done. The next one will be all of the Mossbacks storyline. After that we will launch the boss fight and Animus will end. From there we don't really have a huge amount to make. Animus was largely the most complicated section of the game. Jotunheim and [REDACTED] will be a breeze by comparison. I can't wait to show you what's coming next. You guys rock. HBHeart
