Enderal: Forgotten Stories - stuemper
Walk blessed,

it has been a while but the new patch 1.5.8.0 is now available! Steam will automatically download and install this patch for the English and German version. This patch needs to be translated for other localizations of the game (currently Simplified Chinese, Italian and Russian) and it will be available as soon as the responsible translation teams finished their work.

Be careful, the patch notes could contain spoilers to some extent, we try to avoid them as much as possible, though.
