Bedrock Beta v0.2.0 “The Rise of Rhaskos”​

Mini-campaign Added

We’ve added two levels that we’ll be featuring at Eurogamer – but you’ll also be able to enjoy it from the comfort of your own home if you’re unable to attend. If your hands are free give a round of applause to our wonderful programmers (and everyone else – but especially them). Many sleepless nights and a whole lot of unbillable overtime went into making these levels phenomenal.
