- A taste of Chapter 2: The Great Deep - 13 September 2026
Update trailer:The first mission of Chapter 2 is here!I'm not going to spoil much, but I wanted this level to feel like a summary of the whole chapter and to showcase the setting in which it takes place. Development for the new level and its contents has been really challenging, so I took much longer than expected to get this done. Thanks for being so patient! As my actual GCSE O-levels are right around the corner, patches and bug fixes will be less frequent, but I will still try my best to fix as much as I can!

View it by pressing Tab in any mission.The secret for mission 5, Nowhere, is now obtainable.Revised the Mission Hub weapon management UI, an improvement to its clunky predecessor.Added a cutscene for completing Chapter 1: BattlefieldThe Starcrusher weapon's flamethrower mode now has better pr…
