New Museum Exhibit Under Construction!

A new museum exhibit is officially under construction! For those of you playing on console, patches 1.1.8 and 1.1.9 are live now (1.06 and 1.07 on PS4), gearing up for Echoes of the Eye’s release on Tuesday! Steam and Epic players are in a slightly different time stream, and will get the patches on Tuesday morning.

Be advised, Patch 8 overhauls the input system; installing this patch will reset your input bindings to the defaults. We strongly recommend you reacquaint yourself with the flashlight button before next week ;;)
