We’re incredibly grateful for the amazing response to last week`s Major Update 4: Riverlands! Thank you all for the kind words, playthroughs, and support! 🙏
It’s been amazing to see so many of you diving into the Riverlands, uncovering secrets, dodging water beasts, and tackling the new survival challenges.
Today, we’re releasing a quick Hotfix #1 to smooth out some issues from the update. Check the full list of Patch Notes below!
Ongoing improvements to Riverlands visuals, creature behavior, sounds, and resource spawning.
Fixes for key issues, including item interactions, collision bugs, weather inconsistencies, and visual glitches.
Please note that the Riverlands will receive further polish and fixes in the future. We’re continuing to monitor your feedback and polish the experience, so please keep sharing your thoughts, bug reports, and survival stories here or on our Discord!
🌞 As most of our team will enjoy some well-earned vacation, these changes will go live with the next major patch. Good luck in the Riverlands, and watch out for the crocodiles... 🐊

Do you think you have what it takes to defeat him ?
Here a are the new main features of this playtest:

Explore the Rissacca Archipelago, to gather resources and blessings. Choose your path and difficulty toward your salvation.

Crunchy undead, pesky crabs and the fearsome Corrupter are for your pleasure and pain.

This odd character has a lot to offer, this is a must seen location.
