For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have:

• 3 PM by Central EU (CET, GMT+2 summer time)
• 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (GMT+3)
• 21:00 by China/Beijing (GMT+8)
• 10 AM by Argentina/Brazil (GMT-3)

For this wipe the server settings will have the following changes: we're restoring the original time gates scheme (1-3-5-7 listed below) and setting x1.5 rates for items gathering and Learning Points.

Official PvP servers wipe


Dear PvP players,
we would like to remind you that all the Official PvP servers have a scheduled wipe this Friday (May 22nd, wiping every 4 weeks).
Wipe time: 1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual).

For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have:
• 8 AM by Central US (CST, GMT-5 summer time)
• 3 PM by Central EU (CET, GMT+2 summer time)
• 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (GMT+3)
• 21:00 by China/Beijing (GMT+8)
• 10 AM by Argentina/Brazil (GMT-3)
• 10 PM by Japan and South Korea (GMT+9)

For this wipe we want to try new time gating config as follows:
• T3 basic — available after 1 day since the wipe date
• T3 specialized (armor/weapons/vehicles) and T4 basic — available after 5 days since the wipe
• T4 specialized (armor/weapons/mechs) — available after 10 days since the wipe
Please let us know your impressions at the end of the wipe cycle.

Please note that unlike the previous wipe, with this wipe the weapons will be unobtainable until the respective tier is reached so players going to spacedrop event or visiting radtowns will not find higher-tier weapons there. Obtaining armor and medical items is sometimes possible up to a tier higher than currently available (except top T4 armor that requires reaching according T4 tech time gate) as we want to keep a good value of the spacedrop event.

Oh, and one more thing. We've just closed the survey which was running for a while now. Almost a thousand people participated.
Thank you very much everyone! It really helped us have a clearer picture of what people think about certain aspects of the game and the future the game will take!

CryoFall Survey—May 2020 (UPDATE: survey completed!)

Good day, everyone!

It's been a while since the last time we conducted a community survey about the future of CryoFall, but seeing that the game has developed a lot in that time we felt now would be the perfect opportunity. Especially considering that we want to prepare the game for release some time in the future. We want to make sure we understand what's important from the players' perspective.

Please follow this link to participate in the survey:
https://forms.gle/jf7nMQYL29Tdupy96

The survey is fairly short, so it should only take a few minutes to complete. Please try to give us your honest opinion so we can better understand what you think is the important the most and where we should take the game from here.

UPDATE. We've just closed the survey which was running for a while now. Almost a thousand people participated.
Thank you very much everyone! It really helped us have a clearer picture of what people think about certain aspects of the game and the future the game will take!

Supporter Pack Update 2 and A26 patches!

We are happy to say that we have just updated the CryoFall Supporter Pack!

As the game develops it gains more and more new content and features, this means we can also include more content into the Supporter Pack. This update brings additional concept art, high-resolution game art, new avatars, and other goodies. If you have purchased the Supporter Pack previously—you can immediately access all of it. And if not—we would be very thankful if you can consider supporting the game with this little additional purchase.



The Supporter Pack doesn't provide any advantage in the game and is purely optional. It includes the game's complete soundtrack (now 7 tracks, total over 22 minutes long), concept art, high-resolution game art, chat badge, etc. with more to come as the game develops.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and for helping to shape CryoFall!

And now the good news about the game! Since the A26 Update launch, we've released two important patches for CryoFall. We've reworked the active events so more players could participate in them at once and have decent rewards, improved the technology tooltips to indicate the required dependent technologies, and overall bring dozens of essential improvements and fixes. Please read the patch notes on the official forums or join the Official Discord to follow the patch notes and upcoming features feed!
