Update 1.28 is now live and should be downloading through Steam as we speak.
And as usual, we recommend that you complete any ongoing saves that you want to finish in the previous version of the game (1.27.2) before updating. Starting old saves in 1.28 may result in strange results.
Information on how to revert/keep your game on version 1.27.2 can be found here!
