According to Motion Twin, the game's developer, the
Legacy Update let's you play every major iteration of the game from the first build of early access right up to the present. In a
steam bog post, the studio elaborated on what the patch offers:
The Legacy Update is something that we’ve been wanting to do for a long time. As we moved towards regular updates and iterations on the game, we were always bugged by the fact that we were drastically changing the experience that a lot of people had come to love (something that you all have vocaly reminded us of on occasion).
From here we always wondered whether it would be possible to dig up the old versions of the game and store them somewhere, so that interested players and future generations of developers could look back at how our little game developed and grew into the Action Game of the Year 2018.
So, now you can load up every major iteration of the game from the first build of Early Access right up to present, and we will of course make sure that we stock all of our future major updates in there too. This way, the nostalgic, the ragers and the “it was better before” crowd will always have the option of playing the version of the game that they loved.
In addition to accessing previous builds, the
Legacy Update also offers a few new mutations and a Santa-themed skin.
