Hey there, fellow Catz. Everyone enjoying the 'Gift of the Enchantress'? Cool!

Today I want to share with you the information about when the current season ends and the next one begins. You still have a little time to improve your rankings in the seasonal leaderboard.

• Season 3 end: November 23, 2025

• Season 4 start: December 1, 2025

What happens at the end of a season?

• Seasonal heroes move to the non-seasonal realm. This also removes their seasonal tree and associated bonuses.

• Each season has its own shared stash. At the end of a season, the content of the seasonal shared stash will be moved to the regular shared stash.

• If the regular shared stash doesn't have enough space, excess seasonal items will expire. You may want to clean up your shared stashes before the end of a season (if you care about non-seasonal items).

With this release, we are launching VAIL: Extraction into Early Access. It is now FREE TO PLAY, accessible to anyone that downloads VAIL.

This is a very early version of Extraction. Over the coming weeks and months, we will be working hard to keep improving the mode and add lots of features we feel are important (or just fun) for this kind of mode. You can see all of the planned features here:

In this release you can create a loadout with shields, ammo tiers, healing sprays, and more. In the match you can fight off autonomous drones, revive players, and extract with as much loot as possible. Between matches, you can visit the new armory layout where we’ll be working to add lots of features you see in the graphic above.

If you’ve been playing Extraction while it was in Alpha, here’s some recent changes with this release:

• Wiped all inventories. Upon the full release, we hope to not have forced wipes. But until then, you can expect rare wipes. Now that we’re in Early Access, we’ll make sure to warn everyone ahead of wipes if/when they occur.

• Locked Extraction points: the random extract will be locked for 10 minutes while the Lab extract will be locked for 15 minutes. We’ll add this to the Map UI later, but for now you can see the timer next to the objective marker.

• Added more tiers of Nanobot Spray

• Added a new mesh for the Elite Backpack

• Added a variety of Streamer themed loot items

• Added the ability to revive players infinitely — we’ll limit this again in the future in a more elegant way

• Added death VFX to Angels

• Added descriptions for more items such as sights and ammo.

• Fixed other players being able to grab items out of backpacks they’re not holding

• Fixed Cloud Safes not persisting after a revive

• Fixed kill trace remaining in the world even after a revive

• Fixed loot values not appearing correctly in the match summary screen. It now excludes any gear you brought in.

• Possible fixes for not remaining on the same team as your party when joining a match

• Fixed Extract point alarms not working as intended

If you want to support the development of Extraction, you can get the Seeker Gear or Seeker Character bundle:

• In this update we’re introducing a brand new Armory layout. This is redesigned to be a true player home. For now, this is just a visual change. But this will allow us to add home customization, crafting, physical storage, trophies, and much more to come in the near future!

• TTK balance adjustments

• Added new health icon

• Significant matchmaking improvements to make the system more reliable and consistent. We’ve already observed matches remaining fuller for longer!

• Added the name of the matchmaking playlist when matchmaking so that party members know what they’re queued up for.

• Fixed occasionally being stuck on Recent Players in the social window

• Misc. crash fixes

• Misc. performance optimizations
