Hey everyone, Yesterday’s launch of the new Free version of WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes was a technically challenging affair. Switching the game live, from one version to another, with a major overhaul of the features and content, Steam page assets, the name of the game and the price tag was not without its challenges and we had all hands on board for this. It was never our intention to remove the access to the original version of the game. Unfortunately due to the technical challenges outlined above we ran out of time yesterday and didn’t make it available for the launch of WARSAW RISING. Sorry! As a result we’ve prepared a Legacy Version branch where everyone can access WARSAW as it was before August 23rd and experience the original version of the game. In order to access the Legacy Branch of the game please select WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes in your Steam Library, right click on the title, select “Properties” and then “BETAS” tab. Choose “Legacy Version” which should automatically update to the version of the game from before August 23rd. Moreover, we will continue to iron out the bugs and hotfix both the WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes version of the game, as well as the Legacy Version. Our aim is to introduce the existing Bootcamp Branch changes (controller support, patches, etc) into the Legacy Version after extensive testing in the near future. Please note that the Bootcamp improvements are already available in the WARSAW RISING version of the game.

We want to make sure that you can enjoy both WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes and have a chance to come back to the Legacy Version, if you feel like it. WARSAW RISING focuses more on the historical accuracy when compared to the 2019 original. It was important to get the events, places and people right. For this to work, we had to adjust the strategic layer of the game. We achieved this by removing the "momentum" system and the random mission generation, because they allowed for unpredictable and unhistorical progress of the uprising (ie. Śródmieście falling in the opening days of the struggle). The game now follows a more linear but also a more authentic timeline. The rest of the strategic layer, however, remains intact. Random calendar events, hero recruitment, inventory, character progression, hospital are all still in the game. In addition to historical missions, the game will present you with randomly generated ones, similar to the 2019 original. This way the campaign retains replayable elements instead of being fully "on rails" New features of WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes - New playable hero - Two new enemy units - New storyline, complete with animated and voiced cutscenes - New, authentic Polish narrator (with complete subtitles) - New soundtrack - New location type to interact with on the map - Tons of new entries for the codex including photos, posters and newspapers - Console improvements (Bootcamp branch) are now available in the PC version, including controller support - UI, visuals and gameplay improvements - Huge performance improvements for the city map Thank you for your support and understanding WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes Team
