A foreword from our General Manager, Anthony Castoro. "Today's patch is huge, not just because it contains tons of content, or that it's the start of the first new Season since early November, or even that the game now has a new name.

Since September, the NantG team has been as transparent as possible about our goals and plans and many of you have stuck with us through th…

There is a known issue if you die and you hit Spectate but there is no one nearby. Your UI can disappear leaving you stuck until the match ends or you close the client down.
