New Update and Patch Notes

Hello fellow Archebladers! It’s been almost a month since the last update to the game, while I’m sure you’re all pretty accustomed to waiting a long time for updates, we thought it would be a good idea to wait a bit less than 3 years to release the next one :renoah:

This update brings with it some much needed bugs fixes, better game performance, and some new content for you all to play around with. Also, by popular demand, the Archeblade Server Launch is now back and capable of launching all the new maps in the game! If you’re interested in some more detailed patch notes, you can find those below.

More updates are on their way, now that the team has gotten settled into the swing of things, expect much more content to be coming in the future! As always, you can check out the unofficial discord to connect with other Archeblade players as well as stay on top of current AB development! That’s all we have for now, thanks for your support and keep loving Archeblade! ~:elrath:
