- New Update Alert: Get Ready for Two Exciting Game Modes and More! - 31 January 2023
"Gamers, gather 'round! We have exciting news for you. Our latest update is coming on February 22th and we're opening it up for public testing. We've been working hard to bring you the best gaming experience using the latest Unreal Engine 5 technology. But, unfortunately, our server provider, GameSparks, shut down their servers last year. This set us back, but we're almost there! Along with rebuilding our servers, we're also adding two brand new game modes and a bunch of new features. First up is our PvP Cave Mining Operation. Two teams will compete to collect the most crystal energy, but be warned, the other team will stop at nothing to come out on top. Keep your blades sharp! Next, we have Bongo, a competitive trial against an endless tower. Players on PC and VR will team up and fight to survive as long as they can. The top teams will be immortalized on the leaderboard. Second update:…
- Game is going Offline for a short while - 3 October 2022
Dear gamers! We're going offline on Steam for a short while! This is due to us changing the server platform and finally taking the step to Unreal Engine 5 territory. This has been in the works for a while now and in plans for an even longer time, but since the previous server provider has gone offline the game would be unplayable until then. The change allows us to give you a much more stabe game. Tools and visual quality of today's age. And the ability to implement our long over-due gamemodes and maps that have been simultaneously created in UE5 and are waiting to be put in use. The change also allows us to decluster some of our backend to make the game smoother and less likely to break. Let us know; what are you most excited about, and may we continue our discussions on our Discord! - Cradle of Sins Team
