The weekly challenge update has been released and is available to download!
Update v0.49a introduces some minor adjustments to the main quest in preparation for the big update scheduled for next week.
For this reason, in some rare situations when loading the game you could have troubles with the current objective of the main quest, which could make it necessary to re-complete the last goal or in some cases to start a new game.

Hi!
With this week's update climbing has been extended to all ledges in the game!
As requested by the community, this new approach gives even more room to creativity in the parkour, making also the whole system more forgiving.

Anomalies

Slingshot:

When near enough, the color of the slingshot anomaly will change from red to blue, indicating that it is in range for being targeted and hooked.
Now there are only two color states: red for not active/not in range and blue for active/in range.
Pressing the Focus button is no longer necessary in order to target and hook a slingshot anomaly.
As soon as a slingshot anomaly is aimed at, a projectile trail will be spawned.
