The February Clan Challenge is entering its final phase, which means that the ladder results are more or less final. Or are they?

The very foundations of the Clan Ladder standings will shake in the rhythm of the explosions on our brand new D17 Plant the Bomb map. New leaders will emerge, old champions will fall, and everybody will have a lot of fun trying to complete the challenge and collect these awesome rewards:


In order to take part in this challenge, you will need to play Clan Wars matches on our brand new D17 Plant the Bomb map. The Clan Wars matches can be initiated and played via the Versus mode.

Remember that XP gained during the Clan Wars matches directly translates into Clan Points for the Clan Challenge. It is also the most profitable mode for earning those points, as it gives you three times as many points as any other game mode in Warface.

Start assembling your clans now to be prepared for the D17 Plant the Bomb extravaganza. We trust that the rewards are capable of rendering these last days and nights of February sleepless.

When?
EU, TR and NA servers: 26th February, 00:00 CET – 28th February, 23:59 CET ( 25th February 6PM EST – 28th February 5:59PM EST)

Where?
EU, TR and NA servers: D17 map, Clan Wars matches (accessed via the Versus Mode)
Prizes will be issued within 10 business days after the event directly to the players accounts.

A major update to Over 9000 Zombies! is now available marking its transition from Early Access to full release. But do not worry yourselves fellow survivors, this is not the end of development. The Zombie horde will continue to evolve and grow stronger over time.

Survivors from around the world have been called upon to take up arms and will find that the game is now available in multiple languages. Survivors will also find that the battle is faster paced. You may also encounter several new leader’s of the Zombie horde and your struggles against them will take place on new battlefields. Your battle interface has been improved upon to help aid you in your survival. Various random mutations that caused survivors issues in the past have been eradicated and survivors will find the battlefield to be more stable and easier to navigate.

We welcome all players to leave feedback about the new update in the game’s discussion forum. Also, since we are still moving forward with updates, we invite you to leave any suggestions or features you would like to see in future patches.

I would like to give a special thanks to Mastertronic and everyone in the community who helped post bug reports, feedback and suggestions!

Thank you for your support,

A few weeks ahead of schedule, we are proud to announce that Build 24 has just gone live. You may now enter the town of Homestead and explore the western reaches of the ravaged farmlands beyond!

This build also includes some optimization improvements, the first phase of the Faction System Overhaul, an updated character selection screen and more!

With Build 24 out, you can look forward to the full Faction System in Build 25, probably by the end of April, and Act 3: Chapter 3 potentially in B26 around late May or June. Act 4 will begin to roll out in the third quarter 2015.

For the full list of changes, check out the extensive changelog.
