Eternal Silence 3.3 has been released with many two new maps and loads of fixes.
You can see the full list of changes here.
It's been less than 3 weeks since our steam release and Eternal Silence 3.3 is already live. This patch includes 2 new maps, ctf_asteroid and de_asteroid as well as a host of other fixes. These new maps have been a load of fun for our testers and bring back some nostalgia from the old 2.3 days. Here are a few screenshots of the new maps:
