DeathSprint 66 News

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Hello Clone Jockeys,  


Thank you all for playing DEATHSPRINT 66 and your continued support.  


Today we are releasing our fourth major update – “Ashen” – which brings plenty of exciting new content to the game, all for free!  


First up are three brand new maps set in a whole new biome: Scorched, Caldera, and Meltdown. These maps are burning hot – literally – and feature our new Flamethrower trap.  


To celebrate these new maps there will be an extended feature playlist event running from 6pm (GMT) today until 6pm (GMT) on Monday, 17th February. 


That’s not all, as we are also introducing a brand-new ability: The Ad Spammer. Disorient the other racers by subjecting them to the visual noise that is advertisements.  


Finally, we have the brand-new Response racing suit, several new banners, and an increase to the Awards level cap from 40 to 50, offering players plenty of new levels and rewards to earn.  


Make sure to read the full patch notes below, as there are plenty more fixes and tweaks to be found in this update.  


Update 4 will be going live at 2pm GMT, so there may be a brief interruption in play. You will need to restart Steam and download the update when it goes live.  


[h2]Patch Notes:   [/h2]

 
Abilities: 

• Added the Ad Spammer ability.

 
Dev Comment: “The newest ability to join the line-up gives you the chance to impair other players’ vision. When used, all others on the track will be temporarily subject to a bombardment of onscreen adverts, pop ups, jingles, and more. This will limit their visibility on the race, but the most skilled jockeys should be able to carry on. Should.” 

• Added new voice lines to provide more feedback on incoming abilities from other players.  
  
  Fixed an issue where the ability icon on the back of a player would display incorrectly. 
  
  Fixed an issue where a player may not be granted an ability when passing over a tribute while using the Mag Shield in the Shield for All event playlist. 
  
  Balance pass of the Enraged Charge ability.  

Dev Comment: “We’ve taken a long look at the Enraged Charge and made several adjustments to improve its behavior and make it a more reliable option. Now, when using the Enraged Charge, players will follow the track on a more fixed line. To facilitate this, we have strongly reduced player’s input while using the Enraged Charge and disabled the option to drift. Furthermore, we now check if there is a trap in front of you before ending Enraged Charge to ensure you don’t immediately wipe out. All together, we think this makes Enraged Charge a more reliable option to catch up to the front of the pack. As always, we welcome your feedback on these changes.” 
 

Maps: 

• Added the maps Scorched, Caldera, and Meltdown to the PvP map rotation.  
  

Dev Comment: “With our newest maps we wanted to go the extra mile and deliver some of the most challenging tracks to date all with a completely new visual style. Set in a new biome, each map will test players’ skills as they try to find that ideal race line. All that fire isn’t just for show, as these maps feature our new Flamethrower trap that will make quick and spicy work of any clone foolish enough to play with fire. That’s not all, as lava has made its way onto parts of the track and will offer the same toasty fate. We couldn’t be more excited to put these maps into the hands of our players and we look forward to seeing your lap times.” 

• Added the maps Scorched, Caldera, and Meltdown to the Rehearsal map list. 
  
  Fixed instances of incorrect AI behavior on several maps.  
  
  Fixed instances of incorrect kill volumes and collisions on several maps.  
  
  Fixed instance of missing collisions allowing players to skip sections of levels and checkpoints on several maps. 

Progression: 

• Increased the level cap for Death, Glory, and Style Awards from 40 to 50.  

Dev Comment: “We’re adding a total of 30 new Award progression levels for Clone Jockeys to climb through, of whom will be rewarded with the new Response racing suit. Sleek and aerodynamic, this sponsored design is based on the actual suits used by Bachman Response employees. It also comes in 15 eye-catching colours. Additionally, there are also new Banners to unlock as you race to the new level cap.”   


UI:  

• Fixed an issue where leaderboards would display incorrect or missing results.
   
  Fixed instances of missing localisation for non-Latin-based languages.  
  
  Fixed instances of incorrect highlighting on the Rewards screen when unlocking a Prestige level.  
  
  Fixed an issue where “New Event” was not translated across all languages.  
  
  Updated event UI to improve readability.  
  
  Fixed an issue where Banners would not update correctly in the Clone Data screen after completing a race.  

Misc:  

• Fixed an issue where the water droplet VFX would display incorrectly, causing a black vignette to fill the screen. 

 

• Miscellaneous adjustments and fixes.

Hello Clone Jockeys,   


The Bachman Media Network is proud to announce the next major content update – Ashen – releasing on Wednesday 12th February.



Things are about to heat up with our three brand new tracks: Scorched, Caldera, and Meltdown. Unique to these maps is a brand-new Flamethrower trap, where one misstep will leave clones crying for mercy as they are set ablaze. Hazardous lava also makes its debut. Even the merest of touches will seriously hurt!


Our sponsors are getting heavily invested in this update – perhaps too much – with the new Ability: Ad Spammer. Temporarily impair your competitors’ vision with pop-ups from sponsors and give them a friendly nudge into the lava as you run past.


And that’s not all: a brand-new suit with fifteen colour variations, ten new ranks for each of the three award tracks, plus plenty of bug fixes and tweaks will all feature in the Ashen update.



Once again, we thank you so much for your continued support and feedback. That’s all for now. See you on the track!

Hello Clone Jockeys,   


A few months ago, we released a roadmap of four updates for DEATHSPRINT 66. Three of these updates are now live, and the fourth was due to release this month.


This update contains a new trap, ability, cosmetics, and three new maps. All of these (except the ability) are connected by the core theme of fire.


Unfortunately, due to current events going on in the world, we feel that it would be insensitive to fully unveil and celebrate this update in the next week as originally planned.


Therefore, we have taken the difficult decision to delay the fourth update until a more suitable time. We are not looking to edit or remove any content from Update 4 and will share an update on new timelines in due course.


If you would like to show support for the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, here are some resources where you can find out more information:

Thank you for your understanding.


Secret Mode and Sumo Newcastle.

Like a clone that's been punched off the side of the track, DEATHSPRINT 66's price is falling!

To celebrate the fact that 2025's arrival means we're one year closer to 2066, we're slicing DEATHSPRINT 66's price effective immediately: moving from $24.99/£19.99 to $19.99/£15.99. Tell your friends! Then humiliate them on the track.

Not kept up to speed with the latest and greatest happenings in the world of DEATHSPRINT 66? We've been working hard since launch, adding tons of free new content including multiple tracks, Events, a Prestige mode, and an Offline mode as part of Updates 1-3.

In the coming weeks we will unleash even more new tracks, plus cosmetics, traps and abilities for free as part of Update 4.



Stay tuned for more information on Update 4 and our plans beyond its release in the near future...

Once again, keep your feedback coming and we'll see you on the track!

Hello Clone Jockeys,


Thank you all for playing DEATHSPRINT 66 and your continued support.


Today we are releasing our third major update and are excited to roll out Events, which will bring special time-limited playlists to PvP.


What better way to celebrate this update than to start with an AR map focused event featuring three brand new maps: Sakura, Hard-Drive, and Virus.


[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]


That’s not all, as there are plenty more fixes and tweaks in this update, so make sure to read the full patch notes below.


Update 3 will be going live at 11AM GMT, so there may be a brief interruption in play. You will need to restart Steam and download the update when it goes live.
 

Patch Notes:

Events:

• Added an Events playlist to Online PvP.
  

Dev Comment: “Events offer new time limited playlists with featured maps and rules for players to enjoy, offering yet more ways to play.

Now, when you select PvP from the main menu you will find two options. The left ‘Showtime – PvP’ is the current DEATHSPRINT 66 experience featuring all maps with standard rules. The right ‘Special Event’ option will be where you find the new time limited events.

Events will typically run weekly from 6pm (GMT) on Friday until 6pm (GMT) on Monday, giving players plenty of time to enjoy that weekend’s event. While playing in the Event playlist, you will receive 2x Fame helping you climb the ranks faster!

To celebrate this update, our first event ‘Holonet Connect’ – which is a featured playlist of all our AR maps - will be live for an extended period, running from when the update goes live until 6pm (GMT) on Monday, 16th December.

We’ll have more specific details to share soon on what to expect from future events. Aside from curated playlists and 2x Fame, we plan on bringing some fun gameplay modifiers to mix things up even more!”


Offline Mode:

• Fixed an issue where Awards were displaying an incorrect level on the Clone Data screen while in Offline Mode.
  

Maps:

• Added the maps Sakura, Hard-Drive, and Virus to the PvP map rotation, Rehearsal map list, and online leaderboards.
  
  Fixed an issue on Vertigo where a visual issue would occur when entering areas of the map with water droplets.
  
  Fixed an instance of a kill volume being sized incorrectly in Greenroom.

UI:

• Fixed an issue where player banners, rank, and/or profile pictures would be missing on the post-match screen.

Misc:
