Hi Survivors! We're checking in with another weekly dev update! Let's take a look at some new stuff coming down the road (and tease even more!).
Meet Hank - The 5th Survivor
Hank is the latest survivor joining our cast of apocalypse-worn heroes. He's a soldier and national guardsman. As the epidemic swarmed across the city, his base was overrun and he eventually found himself fighting for his life on the streets. In his haste, he comes across Kraus Shipping, the start of our horrifying adventure and joins the remaining survivors as they attempt to flee the quarantine zone.
Hank is a great survivor for newcomers. He comes ready with his trusty shotgun (partially loaded) and a significant damage boost that improves as he levels. He also has proficiency in some of the better power weapons. Hank's armor gives him excellent versatility, but to offset this, his health a bit lower.
Hank also has a unique mix of perk loadouts and he gets a permanent boost to his chance of scoring critical hits. Suffice to say, he's a powerful ally in any group.
Hank will be available in an upcoming release for the game. We're not ready to share an ETA, but it'll likely be in the next month or so.
Anything else brewing?
Why yes... yes there is. But we won't share too much right now. Stay tuned for updates on a brand new weapon, new enemies, new enemy attacks... and maybe even something more. We'll have more updates in the next few days, each featuring on one of these new features.
What about the Xbox One port?
We're still working with the folks at Xbox and have nothing new to report yet. We'll let the community know when we have the updates on when and how to expect the Outbreak: The New Nightmare experience to appear on that great console.
Enjoy your week! We'll have more news and screenshots coming in the not too distant future!
