The Campaign Update is Here!

Hello everyone,

While the official release is still a couple of hours away, we decided to give you access to the update a little early. This updates brings the game up to the release version, adding the new campaign mode, Russian language support, new contracts as well as many, tweaks, changes and fixes.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Early Access program, and who provided valuable feedback throughout development. We could not have done it without your support.

We also hope that you will continue to share your thoughts, because while we are releasing the game in full today, this does not mean that we will drop support. We will continue to provide updates and patches along the way, so keep that feedback coming.

And now, enjoy the game!
