We are releasing a new update for Gladius, bringing its version number to 1.4.4.

More specifically, the Tyranids were buffed to help them in late game. You can find the full changelog down below. Please let us know what you think in the comments or in the forum. In the meantime, the team is hard at work on new content for the game. If you'd like to hear more, tune in tomorrow at 4 pm GMT on www.twitch.tv/slitherinegroup.
