Greetings fellow Puppeteers! We're thrilled to provide you with an update on our progress regarding the upcoming update. Currently, we're fully immersed in developing the new map, Underworld, inspired by Sutekh’s lair from Puppet Master 4 and 5. Our team has been rigorously play-testing the greybox version of the map to ensure it offers an enjoyable and balanced experience across all game modes and factions.

We're excited about the fresh strategies and much-needed variety it will bring to gameplay. This map is distinctively split between two dimensions: the Underworld and a yet-to-be-announced second area referencing another Puppet Master film. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting addition!

We believe these additions will infuse the game with a refreshing aesthetic that we can't wait to share with you all.

This transition will include the release of the new map, Underworld, and a new DLC skin pack. We'll be able to provide a release date as we get closer to the launch, expected within the next month or so. We sincerely appreciate your patience and ongoing support. We're eagerly anticipating bringing you this exciting new update very soon.
