- Patch 0.6.0 & A quick update - 8 June 2026
Hey guys, just a quick update for now! Our game server hosting provider shut down so we've done a small update to move these over to our new provider. The following regions are now supported: eu-central-1 eu-west-1 us-east-1 us-east-2 us-west-1 us-west-2 ap-southeast-1 ap-southeast-2 ap-northeast-1 sa-east-1 Changes: New animations have been added for the knife, these are similar to the ones that we'll be using on the Rogue class when it's ready for testing! Class color support for UI elements Footstep attenuation increased slightly Improved performance on some visual effects Minor bug fixes with main menu UI and ammo regeneration Fixed a bug where if finding a server failed you'd be stuck with an infinite connecting to match modal Improved how fast you get into a dedicated server from custom lobbies And a quick update on the company, I've posted this in the discord: We've transitioned…
- Mage Class, 2 New Maps & More - 21 October 2025
Hey guys! Sorry it's taken a while to get this one out. This patch introduces the first class addition to the game. I've been wanting to do this since forever and it's finally here! Please bear in mind this is just the first iteration, there will still be many changes going forward. I've now got the systems in place to make new classes, weapons and abilities, so you can expect more classes coming out soon. Expect classes such as Warrior, Rogue & Priest first! Important note on matchmaking: Starting off the patch with a bit of bad news. Our third party matchmaking provider is no longer running. This means matchmaking has and will remain unusable until we re-do how it all works. This will take a while but will come back again soon. Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime. Custom games, training range and the tutorial all work as normal. If you're looking for people to play with, every…
