Hi folks,

Let me apologize for the confusion regarding the beta. It is now officially over as of last Friday. In all the excitement of preparation for the 2.0 release, we haven't notified you in the News section (we did tweet about it here https://twitter.com/ArmelloGame/status/1098742952736698368).

tl;dr of it:

- 6000+ Games completed
- 200+ Bug Reports received
- 2 x Mid-Beta Patches

The build is now as stable as a live build!

Thank you for playing and thank you for helping us improve the game!

We're now moving towards 2.0, full steam (hehe) ahead!

Hello one and all,

It’s all happening today, clearly. The Steam v2.0 beta is now live, and this post will contain all of the details you so require to get in there. Fear not, it’s a pretty painless process.

Please remember that this is a beta. Things will break and it may be a little shonky and more than anything we really want your bug reports through this process, so we can go on a bug-killing-spree and hopefully bathe in the serene seas of stability.

• In order to gain access, right click Armello in your Steam Library.
  
• Navigate to the “BETAS” tab
  
• Select “beta - Public Beta”

Please note that when you initiate this process, your save games may be lost and you will re-download the client. Changing back will once again, redownload the live version of Armello.


This provides us with detailed logs relevant to the session, with details on your computer's specs and what occurred behind the scenes during the error.

Include a detailed description of what occurred!

• What did you see?
  
• Did something abnormal happen?
  
• What were the last 3-5 actions that happened before this bug?
  
• Can you recreate this bug reliably? (If so, include the steps)

If you are unable to submit a bug report in-game...

On the 26th of February Pacific Time (likely in the evening), v2.0 will go live on Steam for everyone that owns Armello. From this date onward, simply ensure that your client is up to date and you will have access to all of the juicy new features associated with v2.0.

To join in earlier, keep an eye out for the Open Beta, which will be going live later today.



Nope! v2.0 is a completely free update that applies to all players for no charge. This update isn’t about premium content that some can purchase, it’s an update about adding community requested features, along with others we know you’ll love, to the core game for everyone to enjoy.

Don’t worry about Skeeve’s children, they will be fine.



Our latest premium dice skins hit the store years ago, and we're doing our best to scale back smaller purchasable options in Armello. We think that this is the correct move and it's a better time than ever to take the plunge.

If you purchased any these, we sincerely appreciate the support and thank you for having our backs. They will remain unlocked without you having to complete the required challenges.



We have many stories that we want to tell, and we're not quite done tellin' 'em yet. We are very interested in adding DLC in some way or another at some stage. Naturally nothing is set in stone, until it is.



Long story short(er), yes. We very much intend to bring v2.0 to Switch, Xbox One and PS4, though we are in the midst of sorting out resourcing and timelines. Naturally we are currently attending to the existing issues on Switch as a priority above this, but it’ll happen.

It’s less a matter of if, and more a matter of when.



We would like to, though we are genuinely unsure at this time. The mobile version of Armello is an interesting beast and is very different to develop for. Crunching Armello down into those little devices is a feat that we don’t know that we can undertake for v2.0, and some of the core features, such as many of the menu overhauls, wouldn’t translate seamlessly.

We’re going to evaluate our options and let you know when we can.



We are working on it as we speak. In tandem with v2.0 on Steam, we are fighting to get a new build out on Switch as a priority. Unfortunately due to the nature of console patches, once we resolve the issue and test it thoroughly, we still need to go through a submission process with Nintendo. Due to that, we can’t be sure when the build will actually land in your hands.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with more information about the crashes that you have been experiencing on Switch, hopefully we can give you some good news soon.



Folks are naturally going to want to see all different things in a highly anticipated update like this, and whilst we try, we can’t get to everything. For this major update, we’ve attended to the very skeleton of Armello, areas that would be really meaningful for old and new players alike.

For v2.0 specifically our focus has been features surrounding quality of life, user experience and meta loop. Infrastructure like reconnection is in many cases an expectation/requirement for some players, though incredibly complex to implement. We’re proud that we can provide it.



Let's just say that we've got a trick or two up our sleeve yet.

Start: NOW!

How: These dice have a small chance of dropping after completing any game that yields a regular drop. If you obtain a chest from playing a game, you've got a chance that chest will come with an extra event dice.

Please Note: You can obtain multiple sets within the event, but you are not guaranteed a drop. These dice are rare. If you get multiple sets, look out for your pals and share 'em around!

As always, you know the drill. Hit us up if you have anything that we can help with and enjoy yourselves.

Hope you're all well. We're hard at work wrapping up all of the bits and pieces for v2.0, but we do have a little treat for you as of tomorrow the Lunar Dice event RETURNS! The notoriously round Lunar Dice will be available to find over the next week only.

Start: Tomorrow, the evening of Thursday the 7th of February PT
