- Patch 1.17.18 - 16 June 2025
I want to preface today’s patch by thanking everyone for playing the game and enjoying the content updates and new animal families we worked so hard to make. This is the last patch to add a new animal family: Reptiles! Going forward, we won’t have the bandwidth to add new content anymore. The game is still going to remain up and running on all platforms, but the sales aren’t steady enough to warrant content production. We’ll keep the game servers up and running for as long as our studio stays alive so you can continue to enjoy everything we made so far.Aside: If you are interested in physical Trading Card Games, we have been working on a side project called Echoes of Astra that combines world class anime art and tactical decision making in a card game. Follow Echoes of Astra Kickstarter here. Now back to Claws & Chaos, here’s what we added for patch 1.17: Content Updates and ChangesNEW…
