Dear survivors, we're glad to announce that Chapter 3 is finally here!
"You are almost at the end of your journey, just a little bit more and we'll see each other in person..." (Jeremy Stanford, infection day 409)
Getting through the sewers was hard? Wanna breathe fresh air?
It's time to face a new challenge! A new city is waiting for you... and... you will love it!
Today, we're deploying the first part of chapter 3, delivering:
- Nowhere city map
- 4 new missions (Nowhere, Jailhouse Dead, To Protect And To Kill, Black Friday)
- 22 new zeds
- 16 new achievements
- 2 hours of new gameplay, fully enjoyable in solo or coop with your friends!
We're also releasing a huge enhancement that should boost GPU performances: 🏃🏼
low-end GPU should have a boost in frame rate, players with mid to high-end GPU should be able to push the supersampling higher without losing fps.
Check the full changelog below to see what else we're adding/fixing to enhance your playing experience!
