1. NEW WEAPON SET + SKIN SETS
The Arnus-Fjelsyn Arsenal (AFA) weapon set is a joint project by the Fjelsyn Republic and the Arnusian League, which was created right after the Fjelsynese-Klargian interstellar war. The weapons in this set will have different stats and work slightly differently from the Kystrel Arms weapons. It is not simply a re-skin of the Kystrel Arms set (the one currently in the game).
- Kystrel Arms Collection (default Kystrel Arms skin set, currently in the game)
- Arnus Collection (AFA default skin set)
- Named after Arnus III, a large terrestrial planet orbiting the star Lorvan II, house to the two most powerful human factions, Fjelsyn and Klargia.
- Tannhäuser Collection (AFA recolor skin set)
Named after Ferynck Tannhäuser, a ship captain who accidentally discovered what is now called the Tannhäuser Gate.
- Nishimyia Collection (Kystrel Arms recolor skin set)
Named after Roy Nishimiya, the physicist who created the synthetic material known as Roylium.
- Gabor Collection (Kystrel Arms remodel skin set)
Named after Solrac Gabor, the genius scientist who invented the Gabor Function of Space-Time, a faster-than-light travel method.
All these new weapons and skins will be available on full launch (May 13th, 2023). Each set includes 1 skin for each weapon, which means we will be releasing 6 new weapons (AFA set) and 16 new skins.

2. NEW MAP
We're working on a new map on Mars. It's a generator which powers the whole Scalabria Amusement Park, and it's located underground, under the park. This map will be released during Early Access.
---
3. NEW MAP CONCEPTS (PROVISIONAL)
Conceptualized 4 new maps, none of them located on Mars. These maps will feature new gameplay mechanics. We plan to release at least one of them on launch (May 13th, 2023).
- Kyptaria
Spaceship port in Kyptaria, Fjelsyn
- Lumeria (year 6580)
Lumerian orbital prison complex before the Riot of Lumeria
- Lumeria (year 6582)
Lumerian orbital prison complex after the Riot of Lumeria
- Castella Stingray
Inside the Castella Stingray, a Lusitanian Fleet Keyship (military ship)

4. SPECTATOR
We're working to implement a spectate feature so you can watch other people play. This will come in handy when we want to host events like the Scalabria Skirmish.
---
5. SCALABRIA SKIRMISH
The Scalabria Skirmish is the first U51:TW tournament. It will be a best-of-3 knockout format, meaning the first player to win 2 matches will go onto the next round. Prizes will be awarded. More info on this will come when the time is right.
---
6. LEVEL PROGRESSION
We've developed a level progression system with 100 levels and rewards for each of them. You will earn in-game content like avatars, weapon skins and other cosmetics. Taking into account how much real money you'd pay for the Roylium needed to get all these items, we estimate the total value of the items you get for leveling up to 100 to be over 175 USD. You also get 444.900 credits and 700 Roylium. These values are subject to change. You get all this for free, just by playing and leveling up. Available on launch.
---
7. LOADOUT
We're setting up the loadout system, where you'll be able to equip weapons however you see fit. This will only be out on launch.
---
8. STORE
We're setting up the store for you to get cosmetics and other items. This will only be out on launch.
---
9. PLAYER PROFILE
We're implementing the player profile and all its functionalities, which include your stats, currencies, level, and more.
