    An Update on the New Map’s Release Date

    From the recorded announcement

    Hello, Damned Souls. Last month, we announced that we were releasing our first brand-new map on Thursday, November 12th. During the level's development, Satan has been... particularly picky with his requests. “Make it harder”, “I don’t want them to feel any sense of hope – start again!” After his last tirade, which…

    Hello, Damned Souls. Last month, we announced that we were releasing our first brand-new map on Thursday, November 12th. During the level's development, Satan has been... particularly picky with his requests. “Make it harder”, “I don’t want them to feel any sense of hope – start again!” After his last tirade, which included taking one of our special hammers and smashing it in two (rest in pieces), we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the release. Our aim is to now release in December, and we will share a specific date in due course. We know this news isn’t ideal; however, it allows us more time to fine tune each obstacle and make sure every trap is as deadly as you expect it to be. We want to ensure your new climb will be a fun, challenging endeavour that you'll want to take on again and again. Here's a sneak peek of what we've got coming! These levels are still a work in progress! Stay tuned through the rest of the year as we reveal more about the level, including its theme and new release date. The Chained Together team.
