Hey everyone. We're excited to share some small details about what's next for the Multiplayer component to Half-Life: Cross Product, where development has been moving steadily since the beginning of 2025.
As well as the upcoming Season 10, we're preparing another update before the big leap into our next season.
Season 9 Patch V
The next patch, Season 9 Patch V (v2.9.5), is scheduled to arrive around next week.
It will deliver various minor improvements, as well as a completely rewritten shield-regen-logic-system, in order to alleviate overflows in network traffic. We're intensively testing this backstage, and an open beta for this patch may come in the next few days, so stay tuned. We will also be adding a new playermodel to commemorate the Halloween season!
Season 10 Reveal
We're also pleased to announce that Season 10 will be revealed at approximately the end of this month! Expect a deeper look at the new content, maps, and gameplay changes that will define the next era of the title.
One IMPORTANT note: while bot support remain a feature we're exploring and vigorously looking into, it is, due to limited resources to our avail, NOT guaranteed to be part of Season 10's launch this winter. We'll keep you updated as development continues.
Stay tuned to our official channels for more updates as we approach both the 2.9.5 release and the Season 10 reveal!
