Upcoming Content Beta Roadmap Update + Hotfix notes

Originally posted by Bigfoot on the official forums.

Hey folks!

With the Willow refresh newly launched, it’s time for the next phase: new game content! I’d like to update you all on our current plan.


Over the next several months, we’ll be releasing a series of game updates available to all players, under the single thematic focus entitled “Return of Them”.

Charlie’s machinations have come to a head as she turns her attention towards the skies - and the mysterious entity that awaits there. Our Survivors will be forced to contend with terrifying monstrosities beyond their comprehension, and yet, there may be a silver lining: their minds and horizons will be expanded under the sublime light of an ancient moon.

Here is an overview of what is available in our first update, Turn of Tides:

• Added a new multiplayer-centric boat mechanic, where players can build and deck out a boat for multiple survivors to travel together on
  
• Added a new boating craft menu
  
• Added the Lunar Island
  
• Added Enlightenment
  
• Added 3 new Lunar Island biomes, along with new creatures, objects, and craftables
  
• For this first update, we’ve focused primarily on building the fundamental tech and infrastructure for Return of Them. Please know that we expect this update to be a bit content light, and over the following months we will be adding more content to both the islands and the sea.
  

Turn of Tides is available to play in a beta branch today, and will officially launch on June 20th.
