Not Dead Yet patch out now

Death wasn’t the end.

The Not Dead Yet patch pushes Nightmare Frontier deeper into the abyss, expanding the boss fight first unleashed in December with a brutal second stage that tests everything you’ve learned so far.

This update also introduces a brand-new Fear: Mirrors. What once reflected reality now fractures it, spawning the twisted Manifold and reshaping the horrors you’ll face in Nightmare Frontier.

Here the full changelog of today's update:
