ATTENTION RISK GENERALS!

Here’s a little November update, as a treat. Now that we’re nearing the end of the year you’re probably wondering what we’re working on. Well what I can tell you is we do have a couple of updates before the year is over and I come bearing sneak peeks!



RISK Generals today we’ve got some previews as to what’s coming for our 3.4 update later on in the month. We’ll be focusing a lot more on UX/UI upgrades to improve first time user experiences. But don’t fret we have a lot more customisations due before the year is out!

UX Updates

No more confusing the NEXT and SKIP button, we’ve changed the phase indicator button to tell it like it is



Need help forming a strategy? We have a new AI advisor for Single Player games that are powered by our AI characters, giving contextual advice based on the phase you are currently in.



There are so much more but they’ll be in the release notes later in the month!


What’s after v3.4?



Too Soon? Chill out! At least we’re waiting til December's release!

Here’s some non-festive content that’s also coming in 3.5

Dice
