Worbital Patch, 1.05.5874 - Campaign Adjustments and Fixes
There’s a who-o-ole lot of things in today’s patch. Some weapon balance changes, bug fixes. Most notably: we adjusted the campaign difficulty by tweaking the campaign AI and mixing up the weapon loadouts. Hopefully, this will make the experience more smooth.

Worbital: Online Demo Is Out!
It’s almost a week since Worbital launched and, after some thinking, we decided to do a demo.
We now have a free online demo available on Steam, to help get more new players into the Worbital groove and to get more people into the online queues!
The demo includes the tutorial and online quickplay matches with default loadouts only. This means that demo players get to take part in online matches along with all the other players. The big difference is that demo-players get only a very limited selection of weapons. We hope that this prompts more people to go for the full Worbital experience. Hopefully, this will also bring a surge of new players to the quickplay queues.
If you’ve been considering buying Worbital, but still unsure—this is your perfect opportunity to make up your mind. The demo should give you a good picture of just the kind of fun Worbital offers. It’s free, so why not take it for a spin?
If you’ve already played Worbital, and would like to recommend it to some friends—please, direct them to the demo!
We’ve also released a patch to the full Worbital, containing some fixes. See the full changelog on our Steam forum.
Lastly, if you’ve played Worbital, consider leaving us a review on Steam.
Enjoy Worbital!
