Quick update on the upcoming content
Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I last gave you an update on Mines of Volantis. I am working very hard on a few new systems that will give you new ways to explore Volantis. I won't give away too much yet, but it's about scanning and analyzing artifacts hidden on the planet.

These changes will add a more interesting experience and also more replayability. This update will be FREE and is NOT a DLC.

Testing will start soon and I hope to bring these awesome features to you before the end of the year.

Patch 1.0.1
