Hello Miners!
First things first: Update 32: Roughnecks At Work will release on Steam on October 8th.
Yes, that’s in Q4 and we promised Q3 in the roadmap, and for a while, we thought we could make it for the very end of September. But it’s still not finished, and we don’t want to rush things, so we decided to give it a week more in the cooker. We will, though, release Update 32 to the Experimental branch early next week. So, technically, you will get access to it in Q3 ;-)
Teasers for Update 32: Roughnecks At Work
So, what will be in Update 32? In our roadmap we promised you some new Mission Types, and we are certainly going to deliver on that one. The two new missions are called Escort Duty and On-Site Refining and the overall theme is about working with heavy machinery deep in the mines of Hoxxes. How the new missions will play out will be a secret for a little while longer. But we already released several teasers and will continue to release more in our Twitter, Facebook and Reddit channels - the Steam forum is sadly not well suited for this.
Apart from the two new missions, Update 32 will also deliver a bunch of new fancy cosmetics, an updated Assignment terminal screen, a couple of new achievements, weapon balancing, a new cosmetic DLC (called Roughneck Pack), and many other smaller things.
Live streams of the new missions
This Friday, September 25th, we will live stream a playthrough of the new mission called On-Site Refining. And we'll have some devs in the chat for answering questions. This happens at 1PM UTC+2 on our Twitch channel and it will be re-streamed to our Steam store page and Youtube channel as well. And on Tuesday, September 29th, we will live stream the other new mission, Escort Duty, on the same channels and at the same time (1 2 PM UTC+2).
Update 32 on Experimental Branch
Next week, on Tuesday, September 29th, Update 32 will go live on the Experimental Branch goes live. This will probably happen late in the afternoon our time (3 PM UTC+2). Read about how to join Experimental Branch and what it is here
UPDATE: The build is now live on the Experimental Branch! Go give it a spin and give us feedback!
Release of Update 32
Exactly two weeks from now, on Thursday October 8th, Update 32 goes live on Steam along with new cosmetic DLC.
That’s all for now - see in the caves of Hoxxes!
Rock and Stone!
