- Patch 1.3.3 is flying with jetpacks! + News about the roadmap. - 26 May 2017
You can now play find, build jetpacks and equip them in SurvHive. You will be able to reach new spots that were out of reach before (well, especially for humans). One Jetpack is available on each map on round start. Engineers can build new ones. Use it as a human to flee from agile aliens. Use it as an alien to attack from the sky with your appendix. We will fine-tune jetpack settings depending on the feedback we get from the community (if it should fly longer for example), just tell us what you think. It's been a few months since the latest patch, but be assured that we are working hard to keep SurvHive alive. We know that our Discord community is waiting for new stuff and we're working hard on those. The next patch will be a bigger one, as it will finally introduce a new non-humanoid alien species... We also want to add new perks for each classes, and they will be introduced very soon…

- Patch 1.3.2 introduces Mechs ! - 16 January 2017
You can now play Mechs in SurvHive. Whether you are a human or an alien, this new feature will help you sustain, and cause heavy damage. One Mech is available on each map on round start. Engineers can build new ones (mech fights anyone?), as well as repairing them when they are damaged. Soldiers with the "pilot" trait are able to drive them more efficiently (150% speed when moving).. Use it as a human to resist alien infections. Aliens can damage you though, so be careful. Use it as an alien to approach camping humans, get out and infect them quickly! On Aurora don't forget to crouch slightly in order to pass under some smaller passages. Sentry guns have been buffed (causing more damage). Other minor bugfixes. Some bugs have been spotted during our gaming sessions tonight (thanks to everyone who participated!), two major bugs are already fixed in the latest hotfix, and some less game-br…

- Patch 1.3.1 - 24 September 2016
Patch 1.3.1 is out! This small patch fixes two issues that appeared with the sabotage update, and tweak the gameplay balance in favour of starting aliens by drastically limiting the number of spawned radios ingame. From now on, soldiers will only be given a radio if no other radio is currently owned within the current round. System boxes will now longer disappear when bouncing onto them. The duplicate "light box" on Kepler has been removed. New features coming soon, so stay tuned!

- Major Gameplay Update : Sabotaging! - 17 September 2016
Time to give those humans some challenge, because we, shapeshifters, are going to sabotage everything. Welcome to SurvHive, version 1.3! This update introduces big changes in the gameplay: Aliens are now able to disable various systems by sabotaging them using weapons if they are shape-shifted, or claws under their alien form. Those systems can be repaired using a wrench. You will be able to find wrenches here and there on the maps. Engineers now start directly with a wrench and they can also build more of them if needed. List of sabotable systems (more systems such as Oxygen and Temperature will be added soon): Laboratory CPU Shuttle Machine Room Lights (on Aurora) This patch also fixes some other minor bugs. We are now going to do big efforts on visibility in order to bring more players to the game. We will keep you posted about our progresses. Hope you'll have fun!

- Patch 1.2.1 out! - 13 August 2016
Shape-shifters from the dark side, Patch 1.2.1 is out, and is mainly about bug fixes and slight improvements here and there.

- Patch 1.1 Available ! - 3 August 2016
Dear Shape-Shifters, The first small patch for SurvHive is available, fixing some bugs here and there. PATCH NOTES: Secret objective "still human but infected appearance" temporarily disabled because it was broken at the moment. Will be enabled again but vastly improved in Patch 1.2. Damage over time no longer counted as teamkills. Not possible anymore to bypass the reload animation when reloading and firing at the same time. Continuous firing of weapons such as the flamethrower not possible anymore when firing very short bursts. Teamkills penalties are now decreased after a while. Your client should update automatically. If it's not the case, you might need to restart steam in order to force the update (otherwise servers will reject your connection). Enjoy!

- There Are Definitely No Alien Organisms In SurvHive - 24 July 2016
I can’t wait to tell you, fellow human person, about this game which I have learned about. It is an asymmetrical science fiction multiplayer murder mystery with absolutely no aliens in it at all. You might think from these screenshots and this trailer, starring Terrible Voice Man, that it is an FPS inspired by The Thing and Alien and that there are clearly monstrous fleshy alien lifeforms in it. But you are wrong. There are certainly no aliens here and I am certainly not one of them. What a pity. How about some regular human long-jump instead? That is a popular game in our society. …
