R0.11 Patch Notes: RoboKiden Open Beta is Here!
Version R0.11 – Open Beta
Release Date 4 Jul 2024 14:00 CEST
Game Director Letter
Since the Early Access release of RoboKiden on the Elixir Launcher, the community response has been incredible.
We want to thank everyone for their support and feedback. As we transition to Open Beta, all account and weapon progressions will be reset for a fresh start.
We’ve made adjustments to make early levels easier and introduced several balance changes to ensure fair play.
We’re excited to announce the new group code system, allowing you to easily play with friends. While we work on a full-fledged Friends System, this feature will enhance your gaming experience.
As we move towards Release 1.0, we will unlock more abilities, maps, and events with future updates. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve RoboKiden.
See you in RoboKiden, Run, Gun N’ Have Fun!
