Most of the Showdown Update will take place in a new area that you haven’t been to before. This new area will not be as sprawling as Himfjäll, but it will give us the space needed to tell the last part of our narrative. You can look forward to exploring new terrains with a unique feel and many bits of environmental storytelling, just like you’re used to! In preparation, we advise you to gather all the Soviet Nesting Dolls collectables and catch up on the attached lore.
Concluding the story in this new location is not the only focus of this update, of course; we’re working on including as many bits of community feedback as we can, too. We’ll be adding three new Experimental weapons to round out the catalog of base game weapons that have EXP versions. To allow you to unlock all skill upgrades and complete the endgame experience, we’re uncapping the skill points, allowing you to unlock all skill upgrades and complete the endgame experience. We’ve also been working on new cosmetics, which you will be able to earn in various ways. Lastly, as always, we’re introducing more Quality of Life improvements and fixing lots of bugs.
As you can see, there's a lot in store for you as you experience the conclusion to your journey in the game. There are a few more surprises awaiting you in Östertörn, but those will be for you to discover yourselves.
The Alpine Unrest and FNIX Rising story expansions are not required to complete the new missions, but having played them will provide more context to the story. The narrative will revolve around the Resistance, FNIX, and some characters you already know and love.
As we get closer to launch, we’ll talk more about the update, but for now just be advised to keep a lookout on our channels for more hints and, eventually, the release date.
Generation Zero has evolved so much over the last six years and we can’t wait to experience this final chapter together with all of you, our players. Thank you.
The Generation Zero Dev Team
