Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!

Have a long week? Well kick back and jump-start your relaxation with an EVO Event this weekend! We're nearing the Fjordur launch in June and we have yet to debut one of its native inhabitants - Fjordhawk!




Looking to dive right into the action, Fjordhawk can forge close bonds with humans as wholeheartedly as any canine or primate.

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch! We know you have been anxious for more information on the upcoming Fjordur launch and this week we're happy to share an upcoming weapon skin!




Acting as a functional weapon skin for the TEK sword, Mjolnir packs its own special powers and empowers Survivors with supernatural might. Devastate your foes with shocking ease as you exercise control over the element of lightning. However, not every survivor will pass the test and be considered worthy to obtain the mighty Mjolnir. Will you be up to the challenge?

Coming to Fjordur in June 2022!
