Hey everyone,
We're getting closer and closer to the long awaited huuuge update - and we're still aiming for a fall release!
We now have a -more or less- stable and playable build, so we can start showing you stuff!
As you may be aware, we have 4 major things we're working on:
- Code- and feature merge, bringing all the new fancy features and optimization of the standalone version back to PC without sacrificing graphics
- PvP (with cross-play if everything goes as planned)
- UGC/Mod support (for PvP maps at first, and potentially single player/co-op missions later)
- Graphical- and gameplay enhancements on a good chunk of the existing maps
To avoid introducing unexpected bugs (and to let you all get accustomed to all the changes, new mechanics and improved gun handling), we might split these into several updates - we'll probably release 1. and 4. together first, then 2. after that and 3. at last.*
This will also speed up the process as we'll have more time to thoroughly test things out.
*Disclaimer: the order might change if unforeseen technical issues start popping up along the way.
Not gonna lie, we're a tad bit afraid as these updates will be huge (thus not void of risks), but we're extremely excited at the same time to push our beloved Zero Caliber to the next level!
Now, to show you some gameplay: one of those new feature will be the melee, which comes with a bunch of melee weapons, like the machete...
...or the knife which will be your trusty companion at all times:
As part of the spiced up gameplay, you'll encounter new scenarios...
...and new hoops to go through in order to advance in missions:
And btw, don't worry about the missing full body, it will be optional. ;)
We're also touching up a few maps - we're about to start the final performance tests so the final look may vary, but we're doing our best to make them prettier:
It feels sooo good to finally be able to show you all these cool stuff, we can't wait to release the update(s)!
We're going to show you even more sneak peeks as our build gets more and more polished, so stay tuned!
And thank you for bearing with us, we appreciate all your support and patience! <3
Cheers,
-Dan & the XREAL Games Team-
