Important Announcement + Beta Patch 0.6.2
Grand Guilds Patch Notes — December 21, 2019
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
A couple of weeks ago, we got hit by a strong typhoon here in the Philippines. While everyone in the team is alive and safe, most of us didn’t have electricity and internet for almost 2 whole weeks. Because of this, we’ll need to move the release date once again.
We’ve introduced a lot of new gameplay features and story content for the past couple of months. With the end of the year fast approaching, it’s been a very busy and exciting time for Grand Guilds. However, we do realize that we do not have enough time left to bring the game to an entirely polished state. So we’re moving the release date for Steam, Utomik, and other PC platforms to March 12, 2020. Nintendo Switch release date is still TBD.
I know this is not good news for the people who are highly anticipating the game, but I do believe that this is the right decision. The last thing we want to do is release an unpolished and buggy game. We want everyone to enjoy the game from the get-go.
Speaking of releases, we just updated the Beta Backers version on Steam. New story content is available along with a dozen new cards. The enemy AI has also been improved, adding new and interesting abilities to their decks.
