Today we are announcing patch 1.3.1. This patch is a general ‘fit and finish’ release designed tidy up Revision ahead of the end of the year. As always, the updates in this patch will accommodate existing saved games, and you’ll start experiencing the refinements when you go to a new, previously unvisited part of the game world.

From all of us at Caustic Creative, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
