Released 2026-09-16. 3 updates since release, the newest 2026-09-22.
Newest update: First Contact (2026-09-22)
- New players now get a guided invitation to the tutorial before jumping in—take the training duel or skip straight to the roof.
- The tutorial prompt appears once per save and remembers your choice, so you won't be asked again.
- Dead bodies now stay visible and ragdoll naturally instead of vanishing, making knockouts feel more grounded and visceral.
- Map pieces now load fully visible from the moment you spawn instead of flickering into view.
- Music transitions between rounds are now snappier and more responsive to phase changes.
Earlier update: The Floodgate Update (2026-09-22)
- A brand new multiplayer arena has opened: the Floodgate, a concrete industrial complex with rotating machinery and rain pouring from above.
- Four fighters now battle on shifting platforms around a central crane, with storm clouds rolling overhead and visibility shrouded in fog.
- The hill mechanic is reimagined for team play—control the contested platform to earn points together, and watch the hill pool shrink as rivals fall.
- A new duel training mode lets you practice one-on-one combat with an opponent who learns your habits and adapts their strategy.
- The upper roof now glows under midnight floodlights, casting long shadows across the weathered steel and concrete surfaces.
Earlier update: The Five-Step Training (2026-09-18)
- The tutorial is now a focused five-step lesson: move, grab a weapon, claim the hill, push an enemy out, and chase the next zone.
- Tutorial guidance now projects directly onto the world with anchored arrows and on-screen markers instead of static UI cards.
- Training feedback is snappier—visual cues land faster and hold timers are tighter so you learn the rhythm of the fight.
- The pause button now shows its keyboard shortcut (P) for quicker reference mid-match.
