- Dev Diary #7 - One Week Until 1.0 - 10 September 2026
Hello, Hunters!CONVRGENCE 1.0 launches on September 17 - exactly one week from today. So in this dev diary, I’d like to talk about what leaving Early Access actually means, as well as what you should - and shouldn’t - expect from the full release.WILL THERE BE A SAVE WIPE?The short answer is no. All your gear, weapons, unlocked hideout and vehicle upgrades, as well as all the money you’ve accumulated, will remain and carry over into 1.0. However, since the main quests are being significantly reworked, your mission progress and unlocked reputation levels will be reset.So for returning players, moving to version 1.0 will be something of a “New Game+.” That said, I would still recommend starting completely from scratch to get the full experience.QUEST REWORKI don’t think anyone would argue that the main quests during Early Access were fairly repetitive, not particularly interesting, and so…

- Full Release Date Announcement - 13 August 2026
Hi, Hunters! I'm happy to announce the full release date for CONVRGENCE - Version 1.0 launches on September 17! For more than two years, the game has been evolving in Early Access, gradually receiving new locations, weapons, enemies, mechanics, and many other improvements and changes. And now, this journey is approaching its biggest milestone. One of the main additions in Version 1.0 will be a full-fledged story, tying together the events of the game and finally allowing you to reach the very heart of the Chernokamensk Anomaly Zone and see the story through to its conclusion. The existing quests will be significantly reworked - making them more varied and engaging - along with many other improvements across the game. While Version 1.0 will mark the end of Early Access, I plan to continue supporting CONVRGENCE beyond its full release. But more on that when the time comes :) The full rele…
- Important Update: Price Increase in August - 28 July 2026
Hello, Hunters! It's Nik, the solo developer behind CONVRGENCE. Today I want to share an important update with you - the game price will increase soon. Update: The new price is now live.Many of you probably know that it's common for games to become more expensive after leaving Early Access and reaching version 1.0. When you buy an Early Access game, you're purchasing a product that's still in development, which is why it's offered at a lower price. That lower price is also a way of thanking everyone who chose to support the project during its early stages. Throughout Early Access, the game continues to grow with new content, mechanics, fixes, and improvements, becoming a more polished and complete experience. That's why, by the time version 1.0 launches, the price usually reflects all the work that's gone into the game over the years. Of course, we're not talking about abandoned games,…

On Realistic, being hungry or wearing a Hazmat Suit may result in a one-shot kill, so be careful! - The quest Bear now always spawns in a single location near the Sawmill, so you no longer have to search the entire map. Outside of the quest, its spawn location remains random. - Grass is now visible in the Forest on the Medium graphics preset. - Fixed several bugs related to the dog.

As I mentioned in the latest dev diary, patch 0.9 will introduce the long-awaited reputation level 6, bringing new gear and some seriously powerful weapons, along with a new hideout upgrade - the Vehicle Workshop.At the Vehicle Workshop, you’ll be able to upgrade your van - for example, by installing a workbench and maintaining your gear right in the raid, just like in this screenshot. According to the roadmap, the update is planned for early summer. Want to stay up to date and see more behind-the-scenes development?

Hello hunters! As we approach the two-year anniversary of CONVRGENCE in Early Access on April 22, I just want to say a huge thank you. This project wouldn’t be where it is today without your support. A lot of work has gone into the game over the past year, including three major updates and many smaller ones - and now we’re getting close to full release. I recently shared a roadmap to 1.0 - don’t forget to check it out! To celebrate this milestone, I’m releasing Supporter Pack #3 - a small cosmetic DLC for those who’d like to additionally support the game and its ongoing development. Every bit of support truly makes a difference and helps me keep moving forward as a solo developer. Thank you for being part of this journey!NikZ
