We are finally ready to announce the release date of the next major update to CryoFall—next week's Friday, [b]18th February[/b]! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33475140/8a2b8d5a4618732e19b28f797cc8d5372b69000f.png[/img] This time you will be able to explore the new [b]Arctic biome[/b] full of new monsters and dangers. Also, make sure to pack warm clothes! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33475140/bf2694d260f7054f9cb4da43c87c7e39135d6928.png[/img] To go along with this new territory we have prepared several [b]new creatures[/b] to make exploration a bit more difficult and also serve as a reliable way to obtain Keinite in the late game. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33475140/84b3250e4d800c771b689dbd3b956bcf0da9113d.png[/img] We will also finally introduce [b]skins for energy and exotic weapons[/b] which have been requested by the players since the time skins were introduced in the last update. This should offer additional variety in the late game.

Everyone who owns the Supporter Pack will receive a new set of unique weapon and armor skins provided exclusively to the Supporter Pack owners! These unique skins will be a permanent feature to all Supporter Pack owners, regardless of when you have purchased it or if you will purchase it in the future. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1178321/CryoFall__Supporter_Pack/ [h2]Savegames compatibility[/h2] First of all, we must highlight that the saved games are [b]completely compatible[/b] with the previous (R31-R32) versions of the game. [b]You can continue playing in your local worlds without worries.[/b] The only caveat is that saves from previous versions of the game will continue to use the old world map, which does not have the new Arctic biome, and so there will be no new monsters and no other Arctic content. The only way to update the world map is to start a new game. Therefore, if you're playing on the local server we would recommend finishing the current save (escape the planet) and then using the [b]New Game +[/b] feature with which your character will be transferred to a new world while retaining the unlocked skills, technologies, etc. As for the official PvP and PvE servers, they will have their scheduled wipe as usual, though this time it's postponed by one week to synchronize with the update release. [h2]Official servers wipe[/h2] We would like to remind you that the official [b]PvP[/b] servers will have the next round of epic fights starting with the scheduled wipe on [b]18th February[/b]. As you may know, all official [b]PvP[/b] servers have regular wipes every [b]3 weeks[/b] to ensure a level playing field and offer a fresh economy with each new round. It's a major event that brings many players to compete with each other, starting from a common point. Likewise, all official [b]PvE[/b] servers will also have their regular wipe on the same day. Unlike the PvP servers, however, PvE servers have their regular scheduled wipes every [b]6 weeks[/b] instead. Feel free to join any of the official PvE servers for a fresh round of economic and technological competition and race to reach the highest faction score on any of the regional PvE servers. [b]Wipe time:[/b] 1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual). For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have: • 7 AM by Central US (CST, GMT-6 winter time) • 2 PM by Central EU (CET, GMT+1 winter time) • 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (GMT+3) • 21:00 by China/Beijing (GMT+8) • 10 AM by Argentina/Brazil (GMT-3) • 10 PM by Japan and South Korea (GMT+9) Stay tuned!
