Hello Explorers! We have some exciting news to share regarding the upcoming update for Osiris: New Dawn.

- Nice Big Update On The Way - 8 March 2024
Hello Explorers! After a brief hiatus to recharge our batteries, we dusted off the game and found a lot that could be much, much better. So for the past four months we've been quietly working on an update. Server Stability Boost One of our top priorities was addressing the random hiccups in the servers that were causing disruptions to the read/write process. This was leading to issues like connectivity problems, missing save game data, and a slew of other errors. The solution? We've migrated to new servers in October 2023, and they've been running smoothly ever since. Multiplayer Fine-Tuning Putting the spotlight on multiplayer, we've tackled any syncing peculiarities that might have been throwing a wrench into your adventures. Countless tweaks to RPCs and streaming data have been made to ensure a much improved multiplayer experience. Gameplay Adjustments Taking a step back, we immersed…

Hello Explorers! It is with great excitement I get to announce that Osiris: New Dawn is finally out of Early Access! For over 6 years we've tested, iterated and finally fully realized our vision alongside our community. I still can’t believe how far we've come from the initial days of Early Access with over 600,000 units sold, hundreds of updates (with over a dozen of them massive expansions), all driven by your feedback. It has been a memorable journey with lots of peaks, troughs and splits in the road. Looking back we are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to build Osiris with a community that has stuck with us for so long and I would like to personally thank everyone who has contributed to the development of this game. I am incredibly proud of what Fenix Fire has achieved, success of this size for a studio this small, is incredibly rare and one that we should celebrate m…

- Developer Blog - 7 November 2022
Hello Explorers! Since the Story Update released, we've been gathering your feedback and responses to the past update and wanted to share our priorities as we go into the next update. Based on your feedback, this is what we've gathered: Pros The story has added a new layer of immersion and reason to progress/explore Mines and Caves are more immersive Weather balancing seems to be universally improved Power Systems show promise, but have a few more kinks to clean up Overall polish of animations, players movements are well received Sound mastering has been well received Snubs creature AI is good, but it spawns too much sometimes Cons Story progression seems stuck at a certain point (Rover Mission or Coms Mission) AI variety is sorely needed (a known issue as we've stated we are refactoring the other AI with the physically based set up the Snubs Larvae has) Progression unlocking is a hotly…
