Today, we celebrate ten years of Unturned on Steam!
If you'd like to read a long-winded rambling blog post from the overly nostalgic developer, you may enjoy: Reflecting on 10 Years of Unturned
Event Content
The main menu is decorated with a harkening back to the 2.0 era. And, for the first time, we're releasing a craftable mystery box, or, more accurately, mystery... tophat?
Reach in and draw a random item from the hat! Its design pays homage to the company's early hat-themed logos (I named SDG when I was around 12-13 and unfortunately don't recall quite what I was thinking). The hat contains a variety of classic items from Unturned 2.2.5. It's similar to the original Anniversary Gift Bag, but freely craftable rather than a playtime drop in our continued opposition against bot farms.
For the next two weeks, as part of the anniversary event, you can craft it from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting:
Credit and special thanks to Toothy Deerryte! We hired her to port the assets from her 2.0 data mining, and I think she brought a special nostalgic perspective as a player from that time.
New SDGNelson Plush
We're also excited to unveil a new collaboration with Makeship to make the SDGNelson/SDG-logo-character into a limited-edition collectible plush toy!
With your own genetic* clone of Unturned's developer (Nelson), you'll have unprecedented access to request features, report bugs, and ask your burning questions about the lore**.
*It's yet unconfirmed whether the original Nelson is composed of polypropylene cotton and ultra-soft fleece. This is almost certainly a marketing gimmick.
**Plushie is incapable of responding or acting on these inquiries. But hey, don't let that stop you from asking away!
Edit 2024-07-29: The campaign for the SDGNelson Plushie on Makeship has ended. Since the campaign goal was met, these are estimated to start shipping out on October 22, 2024! Once they ship, its estimated to take 7-15 days to arrive. Some regions may take 10-30 days. Thank you for your support!
In case you missed it, earlier this week we released a major gameplay update, too! Various vehicle improvements, an audio menu, kicking for grass-colored skin, and more:
"Distant Oceanic Getaway" has officially launched on Steam!
Exciting news! After over 6 months of being in development, the official demo for "Distant Oceanic Getaway" is now officially available to download on Steam! A full playthrough of the demo that explored all available routes will take approximately five hours.
If you've seen either ending (or both) and didn't get the achievement, you can now get it by returning to the Eternal September and waiting for 1 second.
Thank you for letting me know the achievement was bugged!
Get ready for a hauntingly good time! We've completely revamped the Haunted House for a more natural look and a whole new level of ghostly hide-and-seek. Brace yourselves for new rooms, a hidden room accessible only by the ghost, and the thrill of the hunt!
Unveil the Mysteries:
New Rooms Unveiled: We've meticulously crafted several new rooms, each with its unique atmosphere and challenges. Navigate this expanded haunted labyrinth and test your courage against the unseen!
Hidden Ghost Room - A Spectral Retreat: The ghost now has a hidden room within the house, a chilling sanctuary it can use to vanish from sight. But fear not, hunters! While the room holds no key to victory, finding it will confirm the ghost's presence within the house.
Ghostly Roaming: The ghost can now appear in any room, including the hidden room. Be prepared to encounter it anywhere in the house, keeping you on your toes and testing your observational skills.
Enhanced Visuals for Shivers Down Your Spine: We've implemented stunning visual improvements to make the Haunted House even more immersive. Updated textures, lighting effects, and an overall design refresh create a hauntingly realistic atmosphere.
Can you uncover the ghost's hidden haven? Can you track its movements and flush it out? We can't wait to see your hunting skills put to the test!
Happy Hunting (and remember, a keen eye is your greatest weapon)!
