TDP4: Team Battle news & patch notes

Greetings players!

It's been over a month since the last update, and while it may seem that the development of the game has slowed down, the truth is, that it really hasn't! There has been a lot of changes behind the scenes that aim to improve the performance and stability of the game. However, the team has put up an update with some brand new changes for you to enjoy!
