Hello Universe Architects! [b]Beyond Episode 18 is almost here![/b] Before we start equipping our spacesuits, this new update is here to ensure a successful launch into space. With version 18.72, gameplay progression unlock changes are the main focus while [b]Metabit production remains unchanged[/b] in this third tuning iteration. You may notice that there is new background art and an updated tapping portal icon at the beginning of the Main Simulation tree. The Beyond portal has been relocated so that players— both old and new— can enjoy all Beyond content!

The Explore Events hub will now be available after unlocking the humans generator for the first time.

[*] Mesozoic Valley upgrade cards are no longer capped at 10,000 Mutagens after upgrading past card level 12 [/list] Additionally, we added some new features! The simulation selection UI has been updated to allow easy access to the various simulations across the game. To the players who have chosen to support Cell to Singularity by watching ads and purchasing Darwinium, they will unlock the new ‘Thank you’ note that will come with a special surprise. We truly appreciate your support as it helps us create more content for everyone to enjoy.

We will be opening our public beta on Monday 07/10/23 for all players to join us as we finalize the content and tuning for Beyond Episode 18.
