World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap has received quite a few updates since launch, but with the relocation of the DevBlog / Forums into the New Community hub, some of these are hard to find.

Let's review what has changed, starting with the major Content Update with the brand new Minion Card feature and the fixes afterwards.

Major changes and fixes

• Added the Minion Cards feature
• Finishing low level maps with higher level characters is awarded now with some XP (instead of nothing)

• “My Friends” filter has been added in leaderboards
• “Ready” / “Not ready” button was added to the campaign map in cooperative mode for the clients
• Fixed a bug that caused black screen upon opening the leaderboard through the zoom-in / fade in animation, after starting a new game.
• Fixed some achievements which only unlocked on the Tier 4 maps instead of Tier 2 maps (as was stated in the achievement description)
