Note: 7035 shipped with minor issues we wanted to get hotfixes out for. This post has been updated to include changes up to 7039, including a fix for shop purchase related token progression and the upgrades CTA being visible when it shouldn't be.
Our first update has landed. You can read more about the key items such as the new loadout system, autosaves between combat stages, and balancing tweaks over in the Loading & Loadout update post, but if you're just keen on the changelog, you can find it below!
As always, a very big thanks to everybody who reported issues or suggested improvements. We've done our best to acknowledge you below, but there have been cases where we've found and fixed things on our own before player reports came in.
