There’s so much, you really need to just get in there and play yourself. Which leads to the next burning question… WHEN? The answer is soon! We’re happy to announce we’ll be showcased in the #NaconConnect digital event which premiers on the 6th of July. Not only that, but we’ll have a very very special dude making a video announcement for you … so don’t miss it!
