Update 0.5150 — Halloween Event

Greetings, Survivors!

This update brings important changes and improvements to The Legacy, focusing on optimization (a 10–15% FPS boost), overall convenience, and game atmosphere.

Thank you to everyone who helps us hunt down bugs, share feedback, and suggest ideas — it’s thanks to you that The Legacy keeps getting better with every update. In the next patch, you can expect plenty of new crafting recipes, a reworked storyline, a completely new save system, and the very first type of transport!

We continue to work hard on every aspect of the game. Special attention is being given to the storyline, the addition of interactive NPCs, new crafting recipes, items, food, water, and expanded world interactions.

In addition, this update launches a Halloween Event that will last until the next patch. Across the world, you’ll find magical pumpkins — breaking them can reward you with random rare or common items useful for survival, as well as experience points. We’re also developing a skill system that will let you spend earned experience and levels to unlock abilities that make surviving and fighting enemies easier.

All this and much more awaits you in the current and upcoming updates.
