Roadmap for the Upcoming Weeks and a Big Surprise
We promised to share what is coming next.
Today, we are ready to give you a clear look at what we are working on in the upcoming weeks.
The recent Buff system was just the beginning of a deeper transformation. Now we continue building on that foundation with focused updates coming very soon.
Roadmap for the Upcoming Weeks
Reworked Skills & Character Progression
In the upcoming weeks, we are fully reworking the Skills system in the Journal and expanding it with new skills.
This will allow players to shape their characters even more based on the path they choose.
Your decisions, your playstyle, and your progression will feel more meaningful and more personal than ever before.
Reworked Looting System
We are redesigning how looting works across the entire game.
The goal is to unify and improve all current systems into one stronger, more flexible experience.
This includes:
Classic [F] search interactions
Static loot sources like scrap piles, chests, and containers
Loot gathered from defeated enemies and other encounters
All of this will be merged into a new system that gives much greater control and impact to the Scavenger skill.
Players will be able to:
Find more rare and valuable resources
Increase efficiency of resource gathering
Influence the quality and quantity of loot
We are also connecting this system with new item prefix and suffix bonuses, which will allow gear to enhance your ability to discover better items or gather more materials than usual.
This will open a completely new layer of gameplay and make looting far more exciting and rewarding.
Additional Improvements
Alongside these major systems, we will introduce various quality of life improvements to make the overall experience smoother and more enjoyable.
After These Updates
Once these core systems are in place, we will shift focus toward new content.
This includes:
New enemy types
New weapons
New base building blueprints
New unique locations to explore
And of course, highly anticipated boss encounters with serious challenges to overcome
A Surprise for This Week
We have one more thing.
Over the past weeks, we have been working intensely behind the scenes.
And we are excited to share that the New Skills Update is coming much sooner than expected.
Planned release: this Thursday or Friday!
We cannot wait for you to get your hands on it.
