- Dev Note: Classic Wave Survival Returns in v1.6.1 - 6 September 2026
Dev Note: Bringing Back Classic Wave Survival in v1.6.1 Hi everyone, Since launching v1.6.0, we’ve received a lot of thoughtful feedback — especially from those of you who’ve been playing since v1.5. Many of you felt that the game shifted too far toward an extraction shooter, making the helicopter feel mandatory rather than optional. We hear you, and we’re truly sorry for the confusion! Our goal was never to replace the classic horde survival you love. The way the UI and end screens were presented made it feel like you "lost" if you didn't extract, and the random power outages only added unnecessary pressure. In the upcoming v1.6.1 update, we’re making our vision crystal clear and returning the game to its wave survival roots: 1. The Helicopter is Purely an Optional SOS You never have to call the helicopter if you don't want to. If you love building up your arsenal and pushing endless w…
