Death wasn’t the end.
The Not Dead Yet patch pushes Nightmare Frontier deeper into the abyss, expanding the boss fight first unleashed in December with a brutal second stage that tests everything you’ve learned so far.
This update also introduces a brand-new Fear: Mirrors. What once reflected reality now fractures it, spawning the twisted Manifold and reshaping the horrors you’ll face in Nightmare Frontier.
Here the full changelog of today's update:
