We are super excited to welcome you all back! To ensure that our servers can handle a large influx of players before Early Access it's time for another Stress-Test. So start your PC, request access, tell your friends, and wait until it's your turn to join the battlefield.
How long will servers be up?
Servers will be live starting now to April 3rd.
When will I get access?
We've already given access to a significant amount of players and plan on increase that number in waves over the course of the weekend. Our goal is to give everyone a chance to play while keeping a keen eye on our servers.
How will I be notified when granted access?
Players receive an email from Steam when they are added to a Playtest. They will also see their status on the store page for the base game.
We’re excited to hear what you think, so please let us know what you loved, what could be improved, and everything in between. As this is a Stress-Test, you may experience intermittent connectivity. Rest assured we'll be working hard to address any issues that arise. Keep an eye on our socials for updates.
The day has finally come! After many months of hard, intensive work; after many trials and errors, we can finally reveal it: we’ve released a new, free DLC! Prepare some space on your hard drives, because there's a lot of new content waiting for you.
A crossbow with new powers
If you remember, we recently announced that we will give you a crossbow - a light and silent weapon that allows you to take your opponent out of a distance without noise. In the new DLC, we've added a small tweak to it, making the crossbow a truly powerful weapon. From now on, there is only one rule: one hit = multi kill.
In addition, we gave the bolts reason, dignity and self-awareness. If any of them don’t feel like fighting, they can simply fly off into the sunset in search of new adventures.
Pistol = blaster + railgun
The trusty handgun couldn’t escape improvements either. Perhaps you thought only a railgun and a blaster could be wreaking havoc? Then you thought wrong, fellow Stalkers. Thanks to new technology, this innocent looking pistol will be more powerful than the railgun and the blaster combined.
News for fans of agriculture
We know perfectly well that you like to set up large gardens in the base. I mean really big ones. Like who wants to be a Stalker if becoming a farmer is so much fun?
That's why we’ll add the Farmer Mode to the game! You will get access to a wide range of agricultural products that will allow you to turn a gray base into a thriving farm. Weeding flower beds, watering, sowing, and also - drum rolls! - animal breeding!
Do you like games like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley?
So you will be delighted! It's like playing these games, but with a Chernobylite twist!
New stuff in environment
We have decided to beautify the places you love to stop by even more. Look around next time when visiting buildings or while taking walks in open spaces. You never know what you will discover. Here's an example: a brand new train has hit the railroad tracks in Red Forest. I wonder what it used to carry?
New quest: "The Meaning of True Love"
We also took care of new content in the storyline. You all know Mikhail - he's the hot-tempered guy with a lopsided sense of humor who has the NAR at stake. The new quest "The Meaning of True Love" is an attempt to show his sensitive nature. Will Mikhail finally meet his soul mate? Will this love stand the hardest test? Is it safe to perform the scene from "Titanic" on top of Duga? You have to find the answers to these questions yourself.
That's it for today!
Take care, Stalkers!
Will you join us? Let us know in the comments or on Discord.
It has been a while since the last new content, and finally there is some new informations that can be brought to you. First of all, we are making the M26 Pershing, in order to thank the support of the players who have bought the game, and because of the experience gained from the M4-748 (a), we will add the M26 to the DLC that has already been released, and rename the DLC. Players who have already purchased DLC will be able to use this new tank directly.
Another new content is the skirmish mode, which will offer two game types, annihilation and defense. Players can freely choose the vehicles and levels of the enemy and allies, and fight in different maps.
A moment of weakness in the Emperor's psychic shields was enough for Daemons to manifest inside the Imperial Palace. The scattered defenders must now regroup and form an improvised defence to beat back and cleanse this new menace.
Choose your side in the next event and vote for which Warlord will join the collection earlier! Will you fight to add Jangsai to the collection or serve the traitors to add the Lord of Flies?
📢 Special Livestream: The Bright Ages 🗓️ Friday, April 1 || 4pm - 7pm CEST We will discuss our passion for history with Alexander Oltner, CK3 Game Director, and our special guests Matthew Gabriele & David Perry, co-authors of The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe! 🏰
