- Rise for the Fight / 2026.2.2a Quick Patch Update ( Hardcore Moshpit ) - 10 July 2026
Hello everyone. I released a new patch update. This patch update introduces a new game mode for Players VS Zombies: HARDCORE MOSHPIT How does Hardcore Moshpit compare to regular Moshpit? Well, here's what makes this mode unique: - All Zombie Stats are doubled each round. This includes health, movement speed, and damage. - Max Zombie Movement Speed is doubled from 20 to 40. - You start out with 1000 Cash instead of 100. - Rise Coins and XP are doubled, which makes it 2x without Double XP, and 4x with Double XP. - There are only 2 Vending machines available in this mode: Gungen and Ammogen. - No revives, no boosters, no medical stims, no gun upgrades beyond upgrade points. - One life in Solo Mode. If you die, it's Game Over. Can you survive the challenge of Hardcore? See you in the fight! -Reece

- Rise for the Fight - Early Access / Switching to Vulkan - 8 June 2026
Hello everyone.As some of you already know, Rise for the Fight suffers from performance issues, especially on Windows, and devices with lower end hardware. This game runs on DX11 for Windows, Metal for macOS, and OpenGL Core for Linux.Starting with PreBeta 2026.2.1, Rise for the Fight will be adding Vulkan Support as the primary API for all devices, with the exception of macOS, as Apple Silicon does not support Vulkan.DX11 for Windows and OpenGL Core for Linux will be used as backup APIs. This means if you have hardware within the last 13 years, you can expect a performance boost.I'll have more details on the next update soon, so do expect another update in the coming days. -Reece
