You may have noticed that we have not released our usual weekly or bi weekly update, this is because we are working on many new systems and content the game needed a long time ago. This update will release before the end of July, it will include the following:
Character creation
Saving slots (your previous save is safe and will be assigned to save slot 1)
Game lore ( yes we are working on the story behind Arctico and this will bring a lot of content to the game!!)
We thank anyone who has supported Arctico, we promise we are still working hard to improve it and finish it.
