Just under two weeks ago, we released Version 1.0 of Axon TD: Uprising, and so far, it's been well received! We've seen a good surge of new players and discussions on our forums and our Discord[discord.gg].

We'd like to share with you a sneak peek of what we're working on. Behold:

---

One of the most requested features we've seen is a PvP Mode where you can send Axons at the opponent, and that's exactly what we're working on!

You'll choose your Loadout just like Survival: a couple of Defenses and your Overloads, and then unlock the rest as you go. Additionally, maps will be procedurally generated.

That's all we can share for now. Look forward to a more in-depth preview of the PvP Mode in November!

---

We're also working on adding free Skins (no microtransactions) to the game, so you'll be able to customize the looks of your Defenses, as well as a profile with detailed stat tracking. And for those of you that enjoy Survival Co-op, there'll be a new map that really tests your mettle.

---

And of course, on each of these updates, expect the usual set of QoL, Fixes, and Balance updates, as well as new Quickplay & Co-op Maps.

Thanks to everyone that's played Axon TD: Uprising and for all the feedback! We hope you'll enjoy these future updates.
