As 1.4 approaches, more information has begun to leak, the most recent being about new Drive Discs. Excitement for 1.4 has continued to grow with the steady flow of new leaks. Two fantastic recent updates have also helped this in 1.2 and 1.3, which each added exciting new characters, content, and welcomed quality-of-life changes.
The most anticipated additions of 1.4 are the powerful new agents set to join the roster.
