What's new
- A countdown to the King Kong Remastered update. The Home screen counts down to the King Kong Remastered update (v2.0.0), out on Friday 30 October at 18:00 UK time, with the time on your own clock too if it differs. When it reaches zero it says the update is out, with a Check for updates button to install it.
- Join our Discord. The same card has a Join the Discord button: follow development, get behind the scenes previews and have your say on new features. Press right from the menu to reach it with a controller or the keyboard.
- Achievement pop ups scale with the screen. They were tiny in large windows and at high resolutions; they now grow with the screen (the same size as before at 1080p).
- Ready for the jump to v2.0.0. The updater now also installs the new folders v2.0.0 brings (the launcher's videos and the mods that come with the game), so updating from the launcher gives you the complete new version.
