When we first revealed the Year 7 roadmap back in February, we mentioned that it would change and evolve with each season, as new content is added and features are reprioritized to adapt to the reality of developing for a live game. Alongside the reveal of Operation Vector Glare, we shared the first of these roadmap updates and today, we have another one to share.

From new and expanded content coming next season, to some features that have been delayed until Y7S4, read on to get a look at the updated roadmap, followed by the first details on what you can expect from these changes. Then, we'll have more details to share during the Y7S3 reveal, so stay tuned.





• Available Y7S3

Alongside the launch of this season, we let you know that the new map originally planned for Y7S3 would be pushed back to Y7S4. That being said, we wanted to share some good map-related news with you.

Next season, we'll be adding a map to the competitive map pool. We're not sharing any specifics quite yet, but what we can say is that it's a map you've played before, it was part of an event, and you have never seen it in comp. What do you think it is?



• Ranked 2.0 release shifting from Y7S3 to Y7S4
• Restrictions on voice chat shifting from Y7S3 to Y7S4
• Reputation Score display beta shifting from Y7S3 to Y7S4

We've mentioned it before, but sometimes, the reality of working on a live game means features have to be delayed in order to ensure they meet the quality standards you expect. This is one of those cases.

As Y7S3 approached, we realized Ranked 2.0 would benefit from a little more time, so we've made the difficult decision to push its release back by a season. This way, we can ensure that the revamp to Ranked that you get in Y7S4 is the strongest it can possibly be.

Similar to the above shift, we made the decision to delay two aspects of Reputation System from Y7S3 to Y7S4 in order to meet the demands of live game development. These include the restrictions on voice chat and Reputation Score display beta.

Keeping with the topic of Player Behavior's upcoming features, we're happy to report that the ability to submit cheat reports from match replays and restrictions on text chat remain on track and will release with Y7S3 as planned.



• Available Y7S3

We previously mentioned that we've been actively investigating the imbalance of LMGs and Finka's role in the meta and plan to deliver tweaks to them with Y7S3. This is still on track, and will come as part of a bigger update to Siege's moment-to-moment balance than we typically release in a single season.

This is a big part of the reason why we made the decision to forego a mid-season balancing patch this season. The changes that will now come with Y7S3 interlock with one another in such a way that we feel the best way to experience and adapt to them is as a single package. One change that players can look forward to as part of this update is the addition of impact EMP grenades to some Operators' loadouts.

We're excited to share more soon, so stay tuned for the Y7S3 reveal for a full breakdown of the changes coming your way.

Hey folks!
Before we start getting to work on our next big adventure 👀, we had to bring you a little bit of DLC. We’re very excited to announce that the awesome Suns Out, Swords Out DLC will be launching in just a week and a half on July 25, 2022! Dark Deity will also be on sale for 50% that day!



Thank you all for your support so far with Dark Deity. We are extremely grateful for the awesome community we’ve built and how far we’ve come since our launch this time last year. If you haven’t joined the community yet and want to, feel free to join our Discord or follow us on Twitter.

Hello mercs,

Another transmission coming to you from another dimension as we’ll be hosting a game dev stream next week where our talented art team will be working on a NEW character debuting in the stream! Don’t miss out on the fun times live next week on Tuesday, July 19th at 2 PM PDT / 4 PM CDT on twitch.tv/bromiodev!

Can’t wait until next week? Alright, we’re able to pierce through time and space to pull a partial asset for this new character. Here you go, dear reader!



Sorry, it’s a bit warbled, but we can still make out some important deets from this patch of pixels. The most IMPORTANT tidbit is… that mullet! Are they a time traveller from the 90s? Or, perhaps, they are just that cool to rock such a hairdo. Aside from their hair choices, it also appears Morgan may have another metallic arm friend or enemy here, too.



As any indie dev will tell you over Twitter, TikTok, or in an elevator, wishlists are extremely crucial to getting more visibility for a game on Steam. So if you haven’t yet, it would brighten our day at Bromio if you wishlist our upcoming roguelike game below:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1656050/Remnants_of_the_Rift/

Lastly, all of us at Bromio wanted to say thanks for your patience as we’re working hard on the game. We’re super excited to be able to show off what’s to come for Remnants of the Rift, and will have more to say on this very soon. For now, don’t forget to tune in to our stream next week for that new character reveal.

Stay cool,

Bromio
