We’re incredibly proud of the job our studio has done thus far, but as development has continued, we’ve realized what is best for the game is to give it more time. > > Our team will continue to work on the project, as well as our other games in development, including a brand new single-player experience; we look forward to sharing more soon. > > We’re grateful to our fantastic community for your support – Thank you for your passion for our games, it continues to drive us.
