This has been a very productive week for us. Britik made a new video about Revn, Eagle Empire Evan had a 24 hour live stream, and there have been many late night dev streams with Silas and Lucio.

We streamed our first Community Update yesterday. This weekly stream will bring together new content highlights, community announcements, and spotlighting creators who are sharing Revn.
