  • Quality of life and performances improvements


If you have already purchased the game, it will be automatically updated and existing save files will transfer seamlessly. But with the 30% discount, it's the perfect time to start a new game, alone or with up to 9 friends simultaneously!

After 2 years in Early Access, and 7 major updates in between, we want to thank our amazing community who gave us feedback and helped us trough this journey to make the best 1.0 we could!



We tried to keep true to the promises we made two years ago, and hopefully you'll think we delivered. Some things couldn't be added to the game, like a vehicule, as we felt the map was not well suited and couldn't find the right balance for it yet.

Being a really small team of 6 people for a projet of this scope, we know the game is not 100% perfect yet, but we do our best to make clear decisions. We will continue to improve the game in the future as we still have a lot of ideas for new and exciting content!



We are really excited to finally share this with you and we sincerelly hope you'll enjoy your journey!

Press Kit.
