Special Event: Easter Egg Hunt

From April 16 to April 24, you will have to be on the lookout for Easter eggs scattered around the arena in public Solo and Duo matches. This limited time event will run right after maintenance until Wednesday, April 24, at 11:59 PM UTC. You can read more information about it in our previous blog post.

Medium Setting for AIs on Practice vs AI Mode

These new Artificial Inmates are more advanced than their predecessors, with more accurate attacks and dynamic movements in combat.

GAMEPLAY

Increased Arena size by 80%

Developer comment: While the initial intention of the Arena was to be an offensive power to catch opponents and force them into combat, it has turned to be a very powerful defensive power as well with no real counter play. We are still working on a solution to make it work as originally intended. In the meantime, this change in the size should make it more balanced with the other powers.

Inmates now cant carry more than 2 of each Consumable

Developer comment: Stacking Consumables has shown to be too valuable especially during the later parts of the matches. Capping its usage to two should decrease the impact they have on the outcome of a match.

Added a small delay before inmates can jump or swing their axe after a roll attack

Developer comment: This change should allow for more opportunities to counter roll attacks while preserving the satisfying movement fluidity.

Increased the characters size while using the Shrink by 10%

Developer comment: With patch 1.19 and the addition of directional axes, shrunk inmates have become very hard to hit with the Axe. This change should ensure more enjoyable fights against those tiny opponents.

Darwin Project Linux [10.21 G]

Game is not tagged as available on Linux on Steam.

Linux is not in the OS list.

Darwin Project takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic landscape in the Northern Canadian Rockies. As preparation for an impending Ice Age, a new project, half science experiment half live-entertainment, is launched. It's called "Darwin Project" and it challenges 10 participants to survive the cold and fight to the death in a treacherous arena.

KEY FEATURES:
- SPECTATOR EXPERIENCE:
Through the Spectator Experience Extension, viewers can impact each Darwin Project match in several groundbreaking ways:

Cast votes to choose the target of a Power activated by the Show Director
Place bets on which inmate or team they think will emerge victorious
Bid for Powers normally reserved for Show Directors & unleash them in a Private Match

- SHOW DIRECTOR:
The Show Director is the living bridge between the players and spectators. He/She is the host and master who controls the arena with nuclear bombs, zone closures, gravity storms, and the power of their voice. This could be a real tool of self discovery; the start of your new career as a charming but deadly game show host.

- DYNAMIC, TACTICAL GAMEPLAY WITH SURVIVAL ELEMENTS:
Gather resources, craft tools, upgrade your gear, track your enemies, engage in both melee and ranged combat, and be the last inmate left alive.
