New levels


The new levels are not merely larger, they are crafted to be deeper and more intricate. Each area functions as a standalone environment, complete with its own ecosystem, challenges, and narratives. The Dam and Factory serve as prime examples of this development. We are releasing eight blockout screenshots—four from each location—to illustrate the scale and detail of these environments. These areas have been meticulously designed to offer comprehensive quests, minor locales for exploration, and ample resources for scavenging, ensuring that every part of the environment provides meaningful content.












Evolving Secrets


Each level incorporates secrets that change location periodically. This dynamic feature is intended to keep exploration engaging and rewarding, as new discoveries can be made with each visit. The shifting nature of these secrets encourages ongoing interaction with the environment, providing a unique experience filled with unexpected elements.


Strategic Control Points and Content Richness


Major locations now include key points of control that are central to the ongoing struggle for dominance between two major factions. Controlling these points can significantly impact the balance of power within the game world. This strategic element adds complexity to the gameplay, as factions and their allies receive bonuses for holding these vital areas. Minor locations will not be left too, but they are more of a little break between major locations.


The levels are populated with a diverse array of NPCs who contribute to the depth of the world. These characters assume various roles, from participating in faction conflicts to being involved in player raids, enhancing the dynamic and responsive nature of the environment. Their actions and interactions have tangible effects on the broader narrative.


Extensive Content for Exploration

The vastness of the new levels offers a substantial amount of content for engagement. Players can delve into extensive quests that explore the game's lore, discover minor places of interest with unique stories and challenges, and uncover hidden secrets. The environments provide numerous opportunities for scavenging valuable resources and strategizing over control points.
