Oppidum today: everything that's changed since launch
EP Games®
Since Oppidum launched, you've played, explored, fished, fought and told us what you thought. We've been listening, and the island you'll find today has changed quite a bit. With the Autumn Sale on, it felt like the right moment to look back at everything we've added and improved thanks to your feedback .
Getting around the island Exploring should feel like an adventure, not a long walk. We've added teleport totems across the world so you can travel quickly between key areas.

Fishing, reworked Fishing on higher difficulties is now better balanced with the rest of the game. We've also added a new single-press controls mode, making it more comfortable and accessible for everyone.
More room for your adventure The starting inventory is now larger, so you can collect more before you need to manage space.
Clearer quests and guidance
We've polished several quests so it's clearer how to complete them, and added new dialogues that point you toward hard-to-find items. Less guessing, more discovering.
Make your scout your own Character customization has grown with new beards, glasses, earrings and more, giving you many more ways to create the scout you want.

New things to do
Battle Arena: test your skills against enemies in an enclosed arena, with daily rewards for completing it.
Beach Pong: challenge the island's NPCs or your friends in co-op. We've recently updated its questline so the final match feels challenging but fair.
Thank you Every one of these changes started with a comment, a suggestion or a review from you. If you played Oppidum a while ago, we'd love for you to come back and see how the island has grown. And if you've had it on your wishlist, the Autumn Sale is a great time to set sail.
Oppidum is 70% off until Oct 8!
