A summary:
- Save the World is leaving early access, will stay as a premium experience.
- The development of content will thus slow down.
- All paid Founders will have their Founder's Packs upgraded to the next level and unlock all the rewards included in the upgraded pack for free and Ultimate Edition owners will be granted the new Metal Team Leader Pack and 8,000 V-Bucks.
- As a sort of "compensation" for the slower content, a long term replayability feature will be introduced - Ventures. These will rotate with different Venture Seasons.
- The first venture season will be themed around Pirates!
- The Metal Team Leader Pack is first of the new "Pack Series" - which will be the only method of purchasing Save the World.
- Only early access founders will gain access to V-Bucks rewards.
