Wild Assault News

👋 Hello Wild Ones! I'm Kang, the Wild Assault gameplay designer here at Combat Cat Studio.

Do you remember the sneak peek dev log we posted earlier in September about the new map "the Ricky Mountains"?
https://steamcommunity.com/games/2827230/announcements/detail/4610085845249276841
We've received comments from players mentioning possible new game modes that could be related to this new map. And you guys were right! This time, we’d like to introduce the new game mode we've been working on: WA Raid. The Ricky Mountains will be released as the first map for this game mode.

[h3]Ricky Mountains Operation Information Roundup[/h3]

• Back in the 1990s, the WealthGuard BioTech Research Institute discovered a significant amount of Feral Relics hidden deep within the Ricky Mountains. The news quickly made waves in the international intelligence market, commanding a shocking $$$.
  
• To seize this valuable resource for future regional control, multiple countries and military organizations deployed troops to the area. As the threat of war quietly emerged on the horizon, the serene and beautiful scenery of the Ricky Mountains was about to be shattered.
  

• In the WA Raid mode, valiants are engaged in the regional conflict as mercenaries for both the defending and attacking sides.
  
• Defending side: Make good use of the unique terrain, facilities, and bunkers of the Ricky Mountains to defend strategic locations. Maintain control of the area or reduce the opponent's game points to zero to win the game (More details TBA).
  
• Attacking side: Time is of the essence. With limited time and game points, do everything you can to capture all strategic locations in the Ricky Mountains. Avoid casualties to preserve your game points (More details TBA).
  
• As always, remember to utilize the valiants' abilities effectively to gain the upper hand or even turn the tide!
  

Compared to WA Conquest in Op. Mojave, WA Raid in the Ricky Mountains features a more focused line of battle, a faster combat pace and a more intense gaming experience.



The team is currently finalizing both the map and the game mode. To ensure a top-notch attacking and defending experience, we will also optimize the current in-game UI, VFX, SFX and more accordingly. We’ll keep you updated, so please stay tuned!

Don't forget to add Wild Assault to your wishlist!

Hello Wild Ones! I'm Vincent, the lead writer for Wild Assault. At Combat Cat Studio, I handle things like lore, character stories, voice lines, etc. Today, I'd like to talk to you about the Wild Assault universe.

I created a folder called "Player Feedback" and started collecting your thoughts on Wild Assault lore since the alpha test. After reading your feedback, we realized that many players are eager to know more about the Wild Assault universe and its valiant lore.

A few days ago, Shawn suggested that we need a dev log focused on the worldview in order to better communicate with our community about Wild Assault's unique stories. Hence, we created this post that you are reading right now.

First of all, we apologize for not having enough lore in Wild Assault. We are working hard to develop the Wild Assault world that we would like to proudly share with you. The good news is that we are already addressing some of the things you suggested, such as the valiant affinity system and in-depth valiant stories. We will continuously improve the Wild Assault universe during the development process and showcase it to you in future releases.

Okay, let's talk business.

Have you noticed the encrypted message on the Neutral Item in our trailer Assemble? Here's a screenshot:



And here's the encrypted text:



The neutral item is distributed to the battleground by a secret cross-border organization called Serene. The text on the screen is encrypted using the Caesar cipher. Try to give it a shot and decipher it if you are interested. See if you can dig up more truths about this organization.

Here's what we know about Serene: they airdrop the neutral items everywhere in the war in the name of peace. Its funding is unknown, but the herd generally think that Serene is controlled by a large financial group called Riven Inc.

The feral relic is a precious resource during wartime. Many countries and legions are fighting for the feral relic because whoever controls it controls the regional order.

The special supply airdropped on the battleground in Wild Assault contains the feral relic. It can always turn the tide and bring whoever captures it victory.

Have you ever wondered where your team stores all the captured neutral items? Well, they do not just disappear into thin air. As a matter of fact, neutral items are stored temporarily in a warehouse on the battleground and will fly back to the Serene HQ once the battle is settled.

Speaking of which, did you find the warehouse during the new player tutorial?



What else do we know about Serene, Riven Inc., and Desolate Legion? What are their relationships? We’ll reveal more answers through the valiants' perspectives. Please stay tuned!

As for the organizations in Wild Assault, we know that valiants such as Akai Hime, Hongying, and Jack are all members of the Desolate Legion, a regional mercenary group that seeks to claim its title during the war. They each joined the legion with different agendas and built friendships along the way. On the other hand, Marquez was once an outstanding scientist at the WealthGuard BioTech Research Institute (Working Title). In future releases, there will also be new valiants who work for other organizations or only for themselves. Let’s see if we can share more information with you in our upcoming dev logs!


Creating the Wild Assault universe: I remember reading about this very question in a game writer interview:

Originally posted by unknown

What part do stories play in a video game?
Is it the plot that gives meaning to the player's actions, just like any actions we take in reality?
Is it simply the pursuit of pleasure? Or is it the awareness of what one is fighting for?

As one of the Wild Assault storytellers, the one truth I believe in is that my work can't touch people if it doesn't touch me. In order to truly tell the story, I used forms such as valiant self-introduction, comments, conversations, and even rumors to develop the lore. As a result, the lore reshaped me throughout the entire process. It means a lot to me if you find what you are reading somewhat interesting, inspiring, or even resonant.

That's all I would like to share with you in this dev log. Thank you very much for your continuous support. We look forward to talking to you again soon in the next one.
