UPDATE #15 - FROSTFANG PEAK

USEFUL LINKS DISCORD | NEWSLETTER | STEAM CREATOR

Greetings Hunters!

As you may have noticed, we recently updated the roadmap . The original road map was kind of a grab bag of different features and improvements, and after hearing your feedback on Discord , the forums and the reviews one thing became apparent. MORE CONTENT!

With that in mind we moved over to a quarterly update schedule that will allow us to bundle up lots of new stuff into bigger, more meaningful themed updates. The first of which - FROSTFANG PEAK - is available now!

We have crammed alot into this new update, so I would recommend giving the full patch notes a read, but the main additions are:

NEW BIOME - Frostfang Peak! An icy tundra full of new hazards NEW BOSS MONSTER - The Tetsugor! A thunder elemental giant turtle NEW ENEMIES - The Vulf Pack - Including An elite variant the Dire Vulf! NEW HAZARD - Blizzard! Will freeze you over time when away from a heat source

We have also added a bunch of quality of life improvements and bug fixes based on your input. Big thanks to everyone that took the time to share feedback and report bugs to us - it is extremely valuable and much appreciated!

Full patch notes can be found below, and as always, we look forward to hearing your thoughts on the game!
