The Autumn Update FALLS on November 3rd!

Greetings, pumpkin-spiced lifeforms,

It is the annual leaf-shedding event. We are wrapping ourselves in blankets, demanding sugar from strangers, and carving faces into orange gourds.

We are temporarily interrupting your sustenance of pumpkin goop to bring you this report:

The Autumn Update will FALL on November 3rd!

The Autumn Update will be our final major update before Roadside Research leaves Early Access and launches 1.0. Have a look below at what's included in the Autumn Update!

Cross-play (Steam & XBOX)

Steam and XBOX cross-play is coming. You have asked to play with your friends on different glow boxes. We heard you. We are here to deliver. On November 3rd you will be able to cross-play with friends on Steam and XBOX to research humans together. Twice the chaos and fun!

Invasion Stage 2

In Stage 1 you built a landing pad for the Mothership. Now it's time to prove yourself. You will build several new, mysterious monoliths for the intergalactic overlords. They are very large, very shiny.

You are curious.

You crave to touch it.

The invasion grows closer. The finale arrives with 1.0. Rejoice .

New Items

The gas station is getting a shipment of never-before-seen items. We are excited to share a sneak-peek of them with you:

• Spy balloon: the rubber orb creates static. We like.
• Influencer lighting kit: we have observed a phenomenon called "social media" and "influencers." Influencers like to shine a bright orb on themselves. We have found many bright orbs for you.
• Influencer clickbait kit: we do not know what this is. The Mothership dropped this for us to figure out.
• Toy crane: we were unable to acquire a large lifter-upper. So we have made a tiny one.
• Suspicious candy: we have watched small humans acquire hard sugar consumables, so we have them now.

Alien HQ promises more to come in the next transmission.

Ready to see what other lifeforms are doing? You can deploy into our Discord to get hyped for the Autumn Update, share in-game images of chaos, and chat with HQ about your favorite edible crust-discs of baked fruit.

This ends the transmission. Your feedback has been invaluable in helping shape the Autumn Update. There will be another one November 3rd. It will be large and detailed. Be ready to intercept the message.
