Dear Anno Fans.
The preliminary fan test for the "BIG FIVE PACK" update just ended this week. Again, several members of our community spent a lot of time with testing and providing feedback. Yesterday evening, testers and the team met for a final call to talk about their experiences and it was also an opportunity to ask any questions .Today, we want to share some first recap posts from participants.
Thanks again to all fans who helped, because the participation level was very high even after the test was extended!
Numbers, Data, Facts
- 8 different nationalities were represented by the participants
- Around 1.200 hours were spent in this test. Incredible!
- 139 threads and around 400 posts were created
What is next?
Test
The test is over.
The team provided a couple of test version updates that implemented more and more feedback made by testers.
Update Release
The release of "BIG FIVE PACK" is planned for June 2016.
We will let you know about the precise date after it is set in stone.
Future Tests
The next preliminary fan test will revolve around the ORBIT DLC.
Most likely in June we can inform you about next steps.
