Shroud of the Avatar – Update of the Avatar #281

Greetings Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. I took the time to not only give myself some much deserved relaxation, but I also thankfully was blessed with the time to not only thank but spend quality time with some of those I consider to be friends and family who served in the military.  If you didnt get a chance to on Memorial Day, please send a thank you to those who have served or currently serve.  Anyways, not too much for SotA news, as I continue to wait for alot more content to be completed before I do my review, here’s what we have for you in this week’s edition of Update of the Avatar:


Zombie Children

When the undead rise the young will rise along with the old. While they might not have the reach of an adult zombie they make up for it in stealthiness and in making you hesitate before you strike, a hesitation that might cost you your life. Zombie Children will begin appearing in select locations in Release 55.

Another release livestream coming up! The Release 54 Livestream is set for June 4, just a few days after Release 54 goes live on May 31 next week.
