Europa – Ver. ???
- Release date: October 29th/30th 2024
- Patch notes:
No patch notes available. This update brings the following to the game:
- adds Zen Mode
- This brings a whole new feel to the world of Europa, for any players who just want to move through the world peacefully without any threats. Gardeners won’t attack, turrets won’t shoot at you, mines won’t blow you up – just chill vibes all the way through. We’re really hoping this helps open up the Europa experience to even more players and play styles.
- adds Chapter Select
- We also added a Chapter select function, so that when you’ve completed the game, you’ll be able to jump back into any levels you like, carrying over your progress from your existing playthrough – Journal, Bestiary and Emerald collections will all carry over. This should be great for any of you hunting down achievements! For the Emerald Collectors in particular, we’ve added some info to the Emerald Room near the end of the game that should give you an idea of where the emeralds you’ve missed might be. When you do jump back into the game, any emeralds you’ve previously collected will now show as greyed out “ghost emeralds” to make it super clear which ones are the ones you’re missing.
