Reworked AI and Improved Performance? An update for WS is coming soon!đŸ”„

[h2]What’s Next for Winter Survival? ❄[/h2][p]Hey, survivors! đŸ»[/p][p]With the full release slowly but surely approaching, we thought that it’s high time to talk a little bit about what you can expect before Winter Survival leaves Early Access on November 19th, 2025. Let’s dive straight into it, shall we? 👀[/p][p]First of all, on behalf of the entire DRAGO entertainment team I’d like to thank you for the amount of feedback we’ve received recently. We’ve checked your reviews, steam discussions, social media comments and of course your messages on our official discord server and we wanted to let you know that we hear you loud and clear. In regards to this feedback, we’ve decided that one more crucial update is needed before the full release that deals with some of the pesky issues that you’ve faced. Let’s explore what in particular you can expect in the upcoming update👇[/p][p][/p][h3]Reworked Animal AI đŸș [/h3][p]We’ve given our wildlife a serious brain upgrade. Animals now react more naturally to their surroundings and the player’s actions. You can also expect much more clarity with the reworked animal AI. In the case of wolves for instance, they should give you a clear warning bark before jumping on you. In general, expect encounters to feel more dynamic, challenging, and realistic.[/p][p][/p][h3]Slow Motion Before the Impale ⚔[/h3][p]Listen
 We really know that sometimes combat can get really intense, especially if you’re fighting with a pack of wolves which separates you from a tasty meal. To make that fight a little bit easier and readable we’re working on a slow-motion effect just before the impale on the survivalist difficulty level. Right now it should give you much more time to react, making the fight smoother and responsive. Check it out below how it looks right now, and let us know what you think about that upcoming change in the comments. [/p][p][/p][h3]Improved Performance ⚙ [/h3][p]Now into the more tech-savvy stuff we go. We’ve seen a lot of comments from you that you’ve experienced FPS drops in several areas of the game.

Rest assured, our team is still working hard to make some improvements in terms of optimization, so keep those comments coming if you experience frame drops within the game. [/p][h3]Bug Fixes & Stability🐞[/h3][p]Well
