Hello Townies!

We have important updates to share with you regarding the future of the Town of Salem games. Our commitment from the start is that we are invested in making sure we take care of the games & the community. We appreciate everyone’s patience in this process as we have been “heads down” to get teams spun up, feedback reviewed, plans decided on & more.

We are very excited to share with you that Curtis & Tuba will be continuing to work on the Town of Salem games 🎉 We are grateful for their passion & insight as both developers on the games & as deep rooted members of the community.

QoL improvements for ToS2
- Discord integration, game modes revamped, reputation system, achievements & stats


Suspending ToS2 Battle Pass System
- We are bringing down the Battle Pass until we can get the right content plan, pricing, and strategy to support the effort while bringing the most value to players. We are actively listening to the community, mods and dev team, regarding these changes.
- Please note that the UI/UX may be wonky, because we decided to just rip it out, due to this.

--------------------

In the meantime - soon we will be distributing a community survey for players to fill out if they wish. We’ll share information on this as soon as we can.

Again, we want to thank everyone for their patience as we are getting settled in here. We really appreciate all of the feedback & ideas that the community continues to share.
