Final Theory news & patch notes

The release of the new DLC navies will be pushed back to early January 2022. Unfortunately 2021 wasn't quite done throwing curveballs and we ran into a few unexpected real life problems. This has left us with the option of either doing a frantic release during the Steam Winter Sale, or move the release to early January 2022. As many of you know, while it is possible to release on Steam during a major sales event, it would limit release day exposure quite dramatically since there are so many great deals to be had, and as a small indie title we unfortunately can't endure such a loss. While we do apologize for the delay, we also have high hopes for an amazing 2022 with still more exciting news to come. It's awesome to see so many of you showing an interest in all of the upcoming navies and we're very excited to bring you guys and gals this new content come January. A quick shout out and a huge thanks to Matt from SplatterCatGaming for featuring Final Theory on his YouTube channel. We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of the new and returning players to the community. If you haven't already please pop by his channel and hit that Subscribe button. We wish all of our players, their friends and families a happy new year, and we thank all of you for your amazing support. Stay safe everyone. -Monticube (Original News Post) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33566314/e21f6b5ca0866ed0ba531a7246669ed9fa9e2ec8.jpg The Syndicate Navy DLC is set to release December, early January 2022, alongside two additional DLC navies. The ships of the Syndicate Navy feature a mix of new abilities and weapons, titanium alloy armor plating, advanced shields, long range railguns, energy weapons and much more. The package includes a full navy consisting of 8 ships in total: Dreadnought, Battleship, Carrier, Battlecruiser, Cruiser, Destroyer, Frigate and Corvette. The Syndicate Navy DLC features

• 7 different ship classes to command + 1 deployable ship.
• 7 fleet-wide stackable ship bonuses.
• 8 ship tiers featuring weapons, abilities and skill points.
• 56 module upgrades to choose from.
• Supports the main game, Quick Battles and Custom Battles right out of the box. You don't have to unlock any achievements before you can use the navy.

Introducing Legendary Navies

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33566314/13b62a334b9809be8b2d34cf7a8c807810d4da04.jpg The Colonial Navy and the Federal Navy are both variants of existing navies that hold special historical significance in the world of Final Theory. They feature an alternative weapons and abilities loadout from their base navies, while also retaining a measure of familiarity. These two new navies will be available in the upcoming Legendary Bundle, and can be collected and used to add variety to your games. At release you'll have the option to pick up either the upcoming Deluxe Bundle or Legendary Bundle.

The Deluxe Bundle will include:

• The Final Theory Game (Includes the Imperial Navy)
• The Royal Navy DLC
• The Syndicate Navy DLC

The Legendary Bundle will include:

• The Final Theory Game (Includes the Imperial Navy)
• The Royal Navy DLC
• The Syndicate Navy DLC
• The Colonial Navy DLC
• The Federal Navy DLC

The upcoming Deluxe and Legendary bundles will be released as adaptive bundles. Adaptive means you'll only be paying for and getting, the content that you don't already have, and you still get the bundle discount. Buying a bundle will however not include DLC that is added to the bundles in the future. But as adaptive bundles, they can be repurchased to just pick up the new future DLC, and you will still be getting the bundle discount that is active at that point in time. In short, adaptive bundles are awesome and will always hold the biggest savings. But you can't actually add bundles to your wishlist, so head on over to the DLC Steam pages, to get a better look at the new navies and add the Syndicate Navy, Colonial Navy, Federal Navy to your wishlist to get notifications. And as always a huge thanks to all of our players. It's wonderful to see so many of you having fun with the game, and we're very excited to bring you guys and gals these new navies to play with. Stay tuned for even more content on the horizon and we thank all of you for your support. -Monticube
