Patch 1.1 introduces 6-Skull Difficulty, the new Omens system, Leaderboards, new Boons, new Trinkets and a new reward to discover in the Hub. We've also introduced a new save system, controller remapping and a range of quality-of-life improvements, alongside another substantial round of fixes across the game.

And this is just the beginning. We're excited to continue building on Crimson Moon, expanding the experience and giving you more reasons to return to Gildenarch.

Team Metal is incredibly appreciative of the passion and support this community continues to show for Crimson Moon. Your feedback continues to help shape the work we're doing, and we cannot thank you enough for being part of this journey with us.

On a more personal note, thank you for allowing us to share a lifelong dream of ours with you. Seeing this community form around Crimson Moon, hearing your stories and watching you experience the world we've created means more to the team than we can adequately put into words.
