Original postHi everyone! Hope you are all having a great summer. Since it has been quite a while since our last update, I wanted to take a moment to share the current state of the game with you.
Wipe Day
The next official server wipe has been scheduled for August 20th. For those who haven't had a chance to roam the new Teijo swamplands yet, this is the perfect time to hop back on!
Upcoming Updates
Since it is the summer holiday season, our primary focus over the next few weeks will be tackling exploits and implementing bug fixes. We will be delivering these performance and stability patches continuously as soon as they are ready.
Today's Update
- To address multiple item exploits, equipping functionality is now activated after a short delay when first logging into the server.
- To prevent vendor-related exploits, you can no longer retrieve an item after adding another item to the buy catalog on your own player vendor.

Original postWild Growth Update & Server Wipe
Hello everyone! Today, April 16th, 2026, we are rolling out the "Wild Growth" update alongside a global official server wipe at 09:00 AM UTC. This is a big update that brings new areas, a major engine upgrade, and significant gameplay additions.
New Area: Teijo
- Access the brand-new Swamp island by taking a boat located near Sgt. Lake.
- The Swamp is a high-risk, PVP-focused environment filled with unique resources and enemies.
- Tents cannot be placed in the swamp area, maintaining its eerie and empty atmosphere
- Navigate the bogs using "Pitkospuut" (duckboards) to discover rare items like Water Lilies and Bog Flowers.
Farming & POI Locations
New areas
- New farming-themed POIs have been added to the map.
- Cows: These animals gain size over time and can be milked with an Empty Bucket.
- Sheep & Lambs: These animals grow wool that can be harvested using Scissors.
New Minigames at Sgt. Lake’s Activity Park
- Added Gun Game: Secure kills to instantly receive a new weapon.
- Added Team Deathmatch: Standard team-based combat mode.
- Activity Voting: Players can now vote to decide which minigame will be played next.
New Equipment and Utility
- Teleport Gate: Connect two points instantly.
- Sleeping Bag: A placeable respawn point that is consumed upon use.

- Paralyse Arrows: Uses rare mushroom effects to slow or stop enemy movement.
- High-Velocity Arrows: Features faster flight speeds for tracking moving targets.
Other New Items

- Harvestable Crops: Corn and Tomatoes are now available to harvest and use as essential cooking staples.
- Eel: A rare, "angry" new catch that provides a significant running speed buff when consumed.
- Added new firearms: The Combat Pistol, Combat Rifle, and Heavy Machine Gun

Other

- Implemented multiple new dupe prevention measures, including fixes for trade-based duplication.
- Arttu's Black Market has moved to the Swamp area
Server Updates & Consolidation
- We have decided to close several monthly wipe servers due to low player numbers and overall unpopularity.
- Specifically, the KR 5 server will be officially closed starting with this update.
- By reducing server capacity, we aim to consolidate our community into more active servers rather than having players spread across multiple half-empty ones.
- Don't worry—if the playerbase grows and demand for more capacity returns, we will reopen these servers for each region.
Engine Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.7
- The game has been upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.7.
- This upgrade is vital for future console compatibility and cross-platform support.
- This version provides performance improvements, specifically regarding the Chaos physics engine.
Thank you for your patience and support! Enjoy the Wild Growth update.

Original postHi everyone. We have been hard at work to get the next update ready for you. Here are all the things you need to know.
Wipe Delayed
As we have realized that the update is not ready for the next scheduled wipe, we have decided to postpone the wipe so we can deliver the new map and wipe in the same update. This is necessary since there will be new restricted areas in the map that cannot be built on, and we want to ensure everyone starts on equal footing with the new content. We know this might be disappointing for some of you who were looking forward to a fresh start, but we believe the wait will be worth it when you experience everything Wild Growth has to offer.
The good news is that all the level design work on the new map areas is now complete, which was the most intensive and time-consuming part of the development process. What remains is implementing all the new items, mechanics, and integrating them into the levels. We're making solid progress on this final phase and everything is coming together nicely.
The new date for the wipe and Wild Growth update is April 16th! We're really excited to see all of you try out your luck in the dangerous Swamplands and discover all the new mechanics we've been working on.
Performance Improvements and Issues Resolved
After our last devlog, we've been laser-focused on stability and performance. We have managed to resolve all the server lag issues that were plaguing high-population servers, and we've also fixed the critical issue with KR PVE 2 that prevented it from starting up properly. The server infrastructure is now running much smoother across the board.
We will continue to prioritize and fix these major technical issues as they appear, but we're also pleased to announce that smaller quality of life improvements and player-requested features are coming in the next update. Your feedback has been invaluable as always, and we're constantly reading your suggestions to make Longvinter the best experience possible!

Original postGood evening everyone. I will jump right into the news and topics of Longvinter.
First of all, I want to let you know that we have noticed the performance degradation on some US and KR servers and we will continue to work on getting the performance to an acceptable level on all servers. That has always been a goal and will be in the future as well.
Next Update
Engine Upgrade
Yes, we will be upgrading our engine from Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.7. The main reason for this is that as we prepare for the console release, this upgrade will be necessary for compatibility with cross-platform support. This engine version is also more focused on performance and we will especially be looking forward to the Chaos physics engine performance improvements this version has.
Wild Growth
Some of you raised your concerns over only getting cosmetic updates, but fear not, we have been preparing a new content update and it will be released this spring. Let's go over the main topics this update will bring to the game.
Farming Related Locations
This update will introduce new animals to the map in farming-themed locations. These will have new animals like cows and sheep that can be interacted with for new resources.
New Bog Biome with PVP Focus
There will also be another island coming that will feature a swamp-themed environment with new mushrooms and enemies. We will be introducing variants to the arrowheads you can use for your bow to make the gameplay more deep. The bow will be getting fire, high velocity, and poison style arrows. Fire arrows can light players on fire and deal a damage over time effect. In the swamp area, the mushrooms will play a big role in how you can craft poisonous arrows. They can have either a damage over time effect like fire arrows, or they can slow the player's movement, or both. Each mushroom will have a slightly different set of effects so you can mix and match them to create the most potent mix to deal with your enemies.
The swamp area will not allow placement of any tents so it will maintain an eerie, empty feel, almost haunted. To make combat here more fun, we will be introducing a new sleeping bag that can be used as a one-time respawn point so you don't miss the action even if you bite the dust once.
The planned release for the update is on wipe day, but this can be delayed if the update is not ready by then. Thank you and have a good one.

Minigames & Wipe

Original postHello everyone. Merry Christmas to all, we have prepared a new small update for you!
Official servers are now wiped so it's a great time to hop back in and make friends with your neighbors or turn them into enemies!
With this server wipe, we are introducing a new travel location: Sgt Lake's Activity Park. This island will host minigames that you can participate in. All players will pay an entrance fee and the winner/winners take all. For the winter theme, we have added a snowball fight to the last man standing with team and free-for-all variants, and an iceball game. We would like to hear your opinion on what games we should add next! Let us know in the comments!
Here are other small balance changes that were made in today's update:
- Added a new launch option for users that are experiencing crashes while entering the settings menu. This is related to older Nvidia graphics cards
- Players can no longer use the travel boat while swimming. This caused an issue where players became invisible on their screen
- Safe fishing reel that gave a buff where the fishing spot could not deplete no longer gives this buff on Mahi Mahi or Sparling fish spots
- Removed C4 from black market inventory
- Fixed some in-game translations
PS. The game is attending Steam's winter sale with a huge -70%!
We wish you all happy holidays.

Original postHi peeps!
Many of you are waiting eagerly for an update on what is coming next. This year's autumn event will be a little different and we will continue focusing on stability, so let's go over today's topics.
Where is the Halloween event?
We have decided to skip an official Halloween event this year and focus more on bringing you an "autumn catalogue." This will be a collection of new outfits that are autumn-themed, which the game is lacking quite a bit. Outfits start dropping next week and only require active playing. Stay tuned for more info coming next week. In the meantime, here is a small teaser of a new outfit:
Tutorial and Stability Update
We have also almost completed the work on a new tutorial level. This will be a quiet and relaxing introduction to the game, which new players can enjoy. It will hopefully increase the player count, which means more community for the official servers! A tutorial has always been something that we have been reluctant to do since we wanted to maintain a sense of mystery and the challenge of learning new things in the game. However, since the game has grown so much in scope since its initial release, we feel like now we can give players a tutorial that gets them familiar with base mechanics without giving up too much discovery. This merely enables the discovery to start!
Also, we are going to start a new round of optimisation for servers. We are next targeting memory usage and more CPU improvements to gain back the stability we had a couple of months ago. We have been pleasantly surprised by how stable UE5 has been, and the connection issues we had last time are mainly gone now, but we still have work to do! We will also be looking into the dinghy physics since they have been affected since UE5 uses a different physics engine compared to UE4.
We also had a small update today and here are the patch notes for that:
- Fixed energy drink applying full speed buff while swimming
- Dismantling your cabin now gives you correct version of the workbench
- Added Mahi Mahi to shop catalogs
- Fixed a problem with Linux Distribution. It was missing a new required configuration .ini file

As autumn continues, we are developing new autumn-themed outfits that will be dropping next month. We are also making improvements to the new player experience by creating a brand new tutorial. Here is a small sneak peek of the map that will be included in the tutorial.
We have also made some progress on the connection issues that some players are encountering, and we will continue working on the issues players face.
