- Thunder Tier One: Free Access and Compensation Details - 8 April 2025
Hello, Operators! First and foremost, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all players who have supported and enjoyed Thunder Tier One. From the beginning, we have deeply appreciated the trust players placed in us when purchasing the game. Over time, however, various factors led to difficult decisions regarding its future. While we understand that some of these decisions may have caused concern, we want to be fully transparent about the reasoning behind them and provide accurate information about what lies ahead. Current Status On October 17, 2023, we announced the shutdown of Thunder Tier One's multiplayer servers, following the game’s last patch on August 22, 2022. This decision was regrettably unavoidable primarily due to the game’s overall development direction, a declining player base, and the challenges of maintaining the servers. While this decision was made after th…
- Closure of all Dedicated Multiplayer Servers - 17 October 2023
It’s been nearly two years since Thunder Tier One launched in December 2021. Our team greatly thank the players for being with us throughout the journey. We have been keeping an eye on the players' game sessions and saw that the vast majority of them are either in single-player or in self-hosted games, with our dedicated servers seeing little usage. For that reason, we have decided to close all the dedicated multiplayer servers for Thunder Tier One starting from November 14th, 2023 10:00 AM CET. Players will still be able to enjoy multiplayer sessions by creating custom games or by hosting their own dedicated servers. Guide on hosting your own server can be found here. We would like to again thank our players for their continued love and support for Thunder Tier One.
- Patch 1.4.0 Notes - New Content, Fixes and Improvements - 11 August 2022
It's been quite a journey for Thunder Tier One. It all started as a passion project among friends and grew into a full game created by an independent team and published with the help of KRAFTON. We really enjoyed developing the game together with our community. Your feedback during the beta phase and after the launch has been invaluable. It has helped us to produce a title that you could all embrace and build on using the modding tools – creating new game modes, missions, and even entire campaigns. Thunder Tier One was always planned as a small, standalone title and we are happy with where the game is right now in terms of its development. As such, this will be the last content update for Thunder. We do hope you enjoy the new weapons, gear, and cosmetics we've added – as well as the much-anticipated camera manager modding ability. We would like to thank our community once again for all…
