- Updates, hotfixes and New Features - 18 September 2026
Stay on the bike. Crossing plot to plot no longer dumps you next to a mesh you cannot reach. You ride the land as one piece. Quick-build with geoaggregate. The RB / B placement path is in and working. Walls, pads, and field structures go down at the pace a raid actually demands. Proximity voice. Full volume inside 3 meters. Natural falloff from 3 to 25 meters. Silent past that. You hear the people in the hole with you — not the whole island. Power that remembers. Emitter and generator destroy-state now persists. If the grid goes dark, it stays dark until you bring it back. Defense and logistics under the knife. HAK detection calling fire, HULK movement and extract, VSI auto-turret behavior, and SSU cargo are getting a focused pass so the plot fights back the way it was designed.
- GeoSled Bike, Voice in Game, Enemy updates and more - 4 September 2026
GeoSled Bike is functional in the closed-beta, sick jumps and wheelies as mentioned. BIG UPDATE: We added the ability to communicate when in proximity of friend or foe and also begin a group chat for your team. New features, UI, autonomous drone placement and patrols plus a continuous buff to performance. If you have not played jump in and play the free to play demo. We would love to have you join the closed beta if interested. Thank you and we continue. Game on.

- Wild Americas 2.0 Closed Beta – Applications Now Open - 12 August 2026
📅 Start Date: 27 August 2026👥 Spots Available: 12⏲️ Duration: 2 week live P.L.O.T. event Selected Pathfinders will each receive a unique 1 km × 1 km Personal Land Ownership Title (P.L.O.T.) in the Mountain Islands Lowlands. This is persistent land. It does not wipe. It belongs to you.What makes P.L.O.T. differentMost games in this genre give you temporary occupation of a shared map. You build, you fight, and eventually everything resets.Wild Americas is built on the opposite idea:No wipes — Your work matters and stays. Builds persist forever (or until another player destroys them)Voxel destruction — Structures can be damaged and destroyed in real combat. What you fortify can be broken, and what you break stays brokenReal ownership — Every plot is a distinct, persistent parcel with its own TitleDesigned scarcity — Resources are finite and unevenly distributed. You cannot simply wait fo…
