Liquid Bit and BumbleBear Games have released a new update this week for Killer Queen Black, adding a new map and more improvements. This update is being called Betelgeuse (technically version 1.62), which is giving players a cool set of features, upgrades, and fixes to make the game better. But the biggest addition of them all is a brand new map called The Nesting Flats, which separates weapon and power-up gates and encourages soldiers to cause trouble for Queens by focusing solely on claiming weapon gates. You still have things like the sale, berries, and eventually thwarting the other side, but now the mechanics to this one force you to make some tougher choices on both sides. Steam achievements, new gameplay visuals, and a new party system have also been added to make it a lot more fun, especially when you're still social distancing from your party friends. You can read some of the notes below, as you can check out the full patch notes at the link above.
