changedNetwork Processing Optimization
changedWe’ve made a big leap in optimizing the network processing for multiplayer mode. Previously, players experienced issues with lag, especially in overseas matches. With this update, we’ve reduced the network processing load to just one-tenth of what it was.
changedClosing Zone in PvP Battles
addedWe have added a new feature to add some pace and emotion to the end of the matches. As in a Battle Royale game, a circular zone will start closing at some point during the match, and it will hurt players who stay outside of it over time. This way, players will have less coverage and hiding spots as the battle progresses, resulting in a much more frenetic gameplay.

Future Plans

We know many of you are still waiting for our Single-Player mode to release! We are about to announce the final release date, and we apologize for the wait. However, we want to be sure that the game is in the best shape when it arrives on your VR Devices!

You can try the first chapters of this Single-Player mode if you own Akpala’s base game, which is free to install until October 31st!

We appreciate your patience!

Stay tuned for more updates, and thanks for your support!
