- Upcoming Content & Roadmap Update - 5 May 2025
Greetings, operatives! We wanted to share an update on our upcoming plans. This time around, we’re likely skipping smaller patches like 0.6.x and instead focusing directly on patch 0.7.0, which will include a bunch of new content: exotec, weapons, and of course, a new van with upgrade options. We're also planning to introduce an Uber version of Koldunak to keep higher difficulties challenging. Also, we’ve adjusted the roadmap based on our available resources. A big part of this is due to the ongoing personal issue we've mentioned in previous posts. We know it's frustrating and trust us, it's for us too but it’s not something that can be quickly resolved, even with a break. Some of the content we cut or replaced from the roadmap may be added after full release if the game performs well. Thanks for sticking with us!
- Koldunak nerf - 1 May 2025
- Slightly reduced Koldunak’s (Fire Wizard) health and life drain damage, as he was too strong for the difficulty levels where he first appears. We're considering an Uber version for higher difficulties to maintain challenge later on.

You can now rebind the controls for cycling through quick slots (Default: Mouse Wheel). Updated the underlying network engine. This foundational change should improve stability and help prevent certain network-related bugs long-term. This patch is a bit smaller on the content side than we initially planned.…
