My name is Filip and I’m the Game Director of Shadowveil.

Welcome to 1.1 our first major update which should make the game it's best, listen to the video where I also talk about some important news, so please watch the entire video.

This patch should help the game feel more complete, give more build/experimentation opportunities and hopefully just feel better!

However with patch 1.1 also comes the closing of a chapter.
Patch 1.1 will be the last content patch for the game. We have one additional patch planned, 1.1.1 that brings additional QOL and bugfixes, but that will be the last patch for the entire game.

It’s been a privilege to work on Shadowveil, its been an absolute blast to take part of the Legend of the Five Rings universe, and the team and I are eternally grateful to you, our community for supporting us in creating and launching Shadowveil.

Thank you for playing Shadowveil: Legend of the Five RIngs, and hopefully we see each other soon in another context.
Take care and goodbye.

With love,
Filip and the team at Palindrome Interactive
