It hasn't been long since Project Warlock II became available on Steam Early Access. However, the game is going to get better with a lot being planned for this year. Today, we take a peek into what's been happening and what are the plans for the future.
Developer Buckshot Software revealed in a post that they're not only working to improve the game but also Chapter 2. The release on Early Access helped, and thanks to forum comments, Discord messages, and Steam reviews, the team received a new perspective on the game. Some of the feedback even gave enough details to let the team identify what issues needed to be addressed.
Two patches have been released which, among others, added the reload option and nerfed Necrogirl since the Early Access launch. In terms of content, a Single Stage option and two additional difficulty levels are planned to be introduced soon.
