Rotwood Wintertide Update + Future Pricing Changes

[jambell]

Hello Hunters!

Before heading out for our winter break, we want to drop by and send you a quick message. 

We’re still hard at work on our next update, but we wanted to put together a small winter celebration for you. It’s just a little way for us to say “Thank You” for all your support. 

Introducing Wintertide
Wintertide has come to the Rotwood and there is a chill in the air. You’ll find some festive decorations, a new emote, and a chill winter vibe in camp. Items you get during Wintertide can be used throughout the year, but can only be acquired during the event. Don’t worry if you miss out - they will be back next year as well. 

Rotwood Sale and Future Pricing
We also wanted to take a minute to let everybody know that Rotwood is currently on sale for 20% off of the Early Access introductory price during the Klei Winter sale. This will be the last sale with Rotwood Early Access introductory price of $10.99. 

The introductory price will come to an end after the Winter Sale and will increase to $19.99. We expect to launch Rotwood at the base price of $29.99usd at the end of Early Access.

What’s coming!? 
After winter break we’ll be getting ready to bring the beta for our next update on to test for everybody to try out. But for now, we thought it might be great to let you know what we have in store. 

We’re going to continue with the two-part updates. This really helps us have more focused  feedback and helps us get more content in the game to support new features. Some highlights of part 1 include a new Hunt, with all the new equipment, powers, and decorations that come with it. We’ll also have a new Super Frenzy. Of course, this is just a quick summary, we’ll have more information for you as we approach beta in the middle of January. 

That’s all for now!    
Rotwood is really taking shape and we can’t thank you enough for helping us get there. As always, we’re very excited about the next update we’re cooking up for you and look forward to sharing more soon. 

Till then!
