Roadmap Update
Aloha Thrivers!
Earlier in 2023, we shared our roadmap alongside a deep dive to explain what was coming. Since then things have changed a bit, so in an effort to keep our transparency as high as we can, now it's time to share an update!
Without further ado, here's the updated 2024 Roadmap!

So, like we did before, let's see what each bit of the roadmap means!
[h2]Winter[/h2]
One priority for us was to bring back the Drone online. The team made some great progress here and we believe we might have some surprises by Early Access Launch.
The second priority was Fishing. This was one of the most requested features. We are happy to report that we have made some good progress on the core mechanic of the game, but we are currently working on a more interesting minigame to make fishing more exciting!
NPC Settlements are something we will talk more about when the time comes. It’s a feature that will make the game world more interesting and a bit more alive. We will share more in future updates.
With fishing, we already introduced a lot of new food and consumables, but those open the opportunity to introduce even more recipes and consumables. New weapons, ammo, and armor are being worked on and will start seeing the light of day this winter.
Between all of these, the team will also constantly work on performance improvements, quests and balance updates.
[h2]Spring[/h2]
During Spring of 2024, our main focus will be on expanding the game’s social features and adding new areas to explore. We are aware that we need to keep things fresh and interesting with such a big game map , and that’s what we intend to do.
AI Camps are a great example of that, with the mutants starting to take control of some pieces of land and creating proper camps. Clearing those will reward the players who dare get close and embrace the challenge with some loot.
This season will also have many interesting new dynamics, like a resting system and different crafting qualities for the tools crafted by the most experienced players.
UI/UX will see some improvements that will also allow us to support a full trading system.
Killing shards are a brand new feature for the game, and we’ll share more when the time comes.
[h2]Summer[/h2]
As Summer of 2024 starts, our fractured paradise will start to change, with New Biomes making their appearance and the game’s society developing further. New NPCs will populate the Maui landscape, and everything will feel more like a living and thriving world.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, we’ll have more Hawaiian clothing options and we’ll keep you busy with more quests.
We’ll keep delivering performance improvements, and we have a good chunk of them that should be ready by the end of the Summer alongside more UI/UX improvements and more complex AI behavior.
Last but not least, we’ll have an interesting new NPC for all your shooty needs, and an interesting new way to get loot throughout Loot and World Keys.
[h2]Closing Words[/h2]
We sincerely hope this updated Roadmap shed some light on the future and our vision for Fractured Veil. We are just at the beginning of our Journey and we couldn't be more excited for what's to come.
Once again, we are ecstatic for your support and we can't wait to welcome everyone on Jan 18!
