As part of the work on the location of Vesuvius, we decided that the map needs to be significantly expanded and changed the location of places of interest, due to the increase in the amount of content. At the moment, the size of the location has almost doubled. The old concept of "volcano" has also been completely changed and new places of interest and activity have been conceived.

After evaluating the scale of work, we decided to postpone the release of the update for this location until the fall in order to provide players with high-quality and ready-made content

– Changed the model of the "Yellow Verlioka" to be more similar to the "Explosive Babies"

Exactly 62 years ago, an event occurred that forever expanded human horizons and showed that the stars are not as far away as they seemed.

On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, on the Vostok-1 spacecraft, made the first orbital flight around the planet Earth in the history of mankind.

The SO project team is very happy to congratulate you on Cosmonautics Day! We wish you never stop dreaming and always confidently go towards your goal!

In honor of the holiday, from April 12th to 16th inclusive, pleasant discounts on many goods await you in our in-game store.

Happy holiday!
