Hey everyone,
We wanted to give you an important update on the status of the upcoming content update. As you have noticed, we weren’t able to release the update today, and we want to be transparent about why — and what’s coming.
???? Why the Delay?
The truth is: this update became much bigger than we originally planned. We made some major balancing changes and introduced new systems, which led us to build an entirely new asteroid belt — with many new points of interest and brand-new stories.
We don’t want to release an unpolished experience. Our top priority is delivering a smooth and meaningful update. That’s why we’ve made the decision to delay — just a little longer. We’ll be doing a “shadow drop” soon once we’re confident everything works as it should.
???? A Massive Leap in Content
So how big is this update?
-
Nearly 3x more content than the current Early Access version.
-
Theta-9 asteroid belt now has 2x more locations than before.
-
Introducing Theta-12, a brand-new asteroid belt — bigger than Theta-9.
-
More than 80 new resources, tool modifications and Items.
-
Over 25 new original soundtracks, most of which are for Theta-12.
-
Huge visual overhaul and new lighting systems.
-
Tons of new secrets, challenges, and mechanics.
???? What’s Holding It Back?
We had to rebalance large parts of the game from scratch, which naturally takes time. On top of that, our 3D artist faced health issues over the past couple of weeks, which impacted the creation of essential assets and props.
Here are a few areas that are still work-in-progress:
