- Constance Patch 1.1.1 is now live! - 28 April 2026
Hi everyone, we've just released Patch 1.1.1 on Steam! This update includes a wide range of performance improvements we implemented for Constance's upcoming console release on May 1st (Switch, PS5 & Xbox Series X). It also restructures how the game's files are bundled, which will decrease patch sizes in future updates. Here is the full list of changes (more technical this time, as this update does not include new gameplay features): Patch Notes 1.1.1.17398 Migrated asset management to Addressables. This should significantly reduce patch sizes going forward, as assets are now split into smaller packages. We no longer need to repackage the entire game (including all textures and SFX) when making small changes. Tons of improvements to memory allocation and overall performance across the game Game no longer crashes on GPUs without compute shader support Fixed a bug that caused the game to f…

- Constance Post Launch Roadmap - 4 December 2025
Hey everybody!Before the team will head into a well deserved winter break we wanted to let you know what we have planned for Constance in the next couple of months. We heard and analyzed your feedback and are attempting everything we can to adress the biggest issues. Besides obvious accessibility options like a better readable map and skippable cutscenes we are also looking into our boss fight designs and will smoothen out some of the rougher edges in terms of timing, pacing and balancing that we unfortunetely didn't have the time to perfect before the 1.0 launch. We hope you're excited about what we are preparing for you.Thanks again for playing and all the feedback, see you again very soon! - The Constance Team
