The following features are planned to ship in the next release:

• Added a new Accessibility tab in the Options menu. Includes the following sub-categories:
  • In-Game Text
  • Dialogue Subtitles
  • Subtitle Background
  • Subtitle Size
  • Large Text
• Colorblind Mode
  • Mode
  • Intensity
• Motion Sickness
  • Last Survivor Standing FOV
• Inclusion of Stage 2 of our Prestige Catch-Up. Characters which were level 50 and prestige 0, 1, or 2 as of the 6.1.0 release will receive 2 bonus prestige levels, as if they had been prestiged.

• Flashlight cooldowns
  • To reduce strobing and the associated dangers regarding flash-induced seizures, Flashlights now have a slight delay imposed between switching them on and off.
  • The Flashlight click speed is now slower. The sound effect has been adjusted so it matches the new speed.
• Archives
  • New Challenge Slots in the Archives: Players now can select a Survivor and a Killer challenge at the same time. This will hopefully improve the experience for players who switch roles often, or want to take full advantage of the Matchmaking Incentives Bloodpoint Bonus.
    • Any challenges shared by both roles can also be assigned to the slot of your choice, or both slots, if desired.
    • Selecting a slot with an equipped challenge will navigate you to the respective tome and level of the equipped challenge.
  • Completed Challenges now remain in the Archives widget until either claimed or replaced. A new Challenge Complete visual was added to the archives widget minimized state to better convey when the challenge you are working on is completed. This will hopefullly reduce the current issue of not noticing your challenge has been completed previously and entering a subsequent trial (or six) without an active Archives Challenge.
  • Removed "press and hold" interaction on challenge nodes.
