Hello hunters! :small_bat:

Today, we finally rolled out The Immortal Update to all players on Steam! We wouldn't have been able to make this update possible without the support of the awesome Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition community. So from everyone here at Nomad Games, we want to say a massive thank you. :heart:

Many of the features, house rules and fixes included in this patch are based on feedback directly from you all, and part of the reason we could justify the development time for it is because of the demand and passion coming our way from the Fury of Dracula community.

This update marks a major milestone for Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition, and we're going to be keeping a close eye on the patch now that it's out in the wild. We're fully expecting some more issues to arise or get noticed now that the patch is fully released, so expect some smaller patches in the near future as we address issues that get reported. If you see any, feel free to throw them our way via our official Nomad Games discord[discord.com].
