Fellowship has just launched into Early Access, but due to the huge amount of changes from the most recent Open Beta on September 18th to release, Chief Rebel stated they wouldn’t be creating any patch notes between the two versions.
Instead, we’ve taken it upon ourselves at Icy Veins to document every change we saw during the most recent closed test! All of our Hero guides have been updated with the new abilities, talents and our build recommendations. Below, you’ll see the full log of the changes we found and are aware of.
This is an unofficial list, so there may be inaccuracies if there was anything we missed or was changed again.
Going forward, Chief Rebel will of course be releasing official patch notes.
