Greetings Subjects,

We’re excited to share our new 3.4 release, packed with new features driven by your feedback.

Introducing Game Watch (Beta)

We’re dedicated to making your gaming experience not only thrilling but also positive and respectful. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Game Watch, a new beta feature that responds to in-game reports by monitoring voice chat in matchmade games and moderating it in real-time.

Game Watch listens to in-game voice chat and, if you report a player, will immediately analyse what they have said. Using state-of-the-art AI, it will issue each player with a “toxicity score,” and in some cases, it will mute certain toxic players for the rest of that game. All reports will then be reviewed by our moderators, who will now have easy access to full transcriptions and a toxicity summary for all reports.

We believe a welcoming community enhances the experience for everyone, and it’s one of the most common areas of feedback we receive. Game Watch is a big step towards this goal. We look forward to receiving your feedback as we continue to review and refine this new system.

Audio Normalisation

To ensure a more balanced audio experience, we’ve added a Voice Normalisation setting. This feature, enabled by default, equalises player volumes so everyone can be heard clearly without any adjustments on your end.

Cosmetic Equipping

Express yourself with more variety! You can now equip multiple human, terror, and item skins at once. At the start of each game, one of your equipped cosmetics will be randomly selected, keeping your look fresh and unpredictable.

Terror/Curse Purchasing

We’re also introducing in-game purchases for Terrors & Curses. You can now buy DLC Terrors and Curses directly from the in-game store for 400 and 300 shillings, respectively, adding more ways to gain access to content.

Game Menu

You may notice some small changes to the game menu, such as larger fonts and controller navigation changes. These are a work-in-progress, so expect to see some larger changes in Season 4.
