- New Starting Area - 16 June 2017
In efforts to streamline player's on boarding experience we've introduced a new starting area that is smaller and simpler than the large town area. We hope it helps people get into games and and playing with each other quicker. Let us know what you think! :)

- The Scumbots are coming! (Single Player on it's way) - 13 December 2016
Hey everybody! Since launching Cowbots and Aliens in November our small team has been working tirelessly to address the glaring problem that there is nothing to do in game when no one else is around. Rest assured the solution is well on it's way! Cowbots and Aliens is getting BOTS! Soon you will be able to battle in your favourite game mode along side and against enemy AIs. We also have plans for a CO-OP wave mode featuring the dreaded Scumbots! Also in the works are several new levels which will be added to the existing game modes allowing players to cycle through different locations making for more varied experiences. These new features will be rolled out in a series of updates over the next several weeks. The first of these updates will introduce our new BOT AI and be available before Christmas. Keep an eye out! Thanks for your suggestions and patience as we develop Cowbots and Alien…
