This isn't just another set of bug fixes; this is the beginning of some of the most fundamental changes to date. These are the APB features you've been waiting for!

The 1.3.1 patch for APB will be going live on Tuesday August 10th and features a plethora of exciting changes to weapons and missions. If you have yet to read about some of the upcoming changes be sure to stop by our forums and take a look here. Full patch notes will be published on Tuesday.

Players who were unable to retrieve their monthly league rewards will be able to do so after 1.3.1 goes live, via the in-game mail system. If you are one of the unfortunate players whose mails have been deleted or expired, we will release more information on how to reclaim them on Tuesday.

The release of the patch will be accompanied by a period of maintenance lasting for four hours from 09:00 BST to 13:00 BST after which, players will be able to commence San Paros regularly scheduled urban warfare.

See you on the streets!
