A new setting has been added for toggling the fog blob particles on the Android platform, which has been enabled by default on devices running the Android 5.x mobile operating system or later, as well as for high-end Snapdragon and Tegra devices.

The fog blob particle enabler is located in the Graphics section under Advanced Options, it is called Show Fog Blobs and can be activated each time you notice that the effect is slow on your Android device.

In addition to the changes mentioned above, Guild Software is currently preparing a special version of the game for a big electronics company that wants to distribute new promotional channels to their customers.

"In the case of this past week, we were offered an opportunity by a major OEM (electronics company) to help them test some new promotional channels to their millions of users," reads the announcement.

When they are done with the OEM partner, they will concentrate their efforts on the next major release of the game, Vendetta Online 1.9, which should be out sometime next year. In the meantime, all players can update to Vendetta Online 1.8.357-358 right now.
