Hello everyone!

It’s time to reveal the biggest change in the upcoming update: a complete overhaul of the PvP game mode. This game mode has not received any attention from us in a long time, so now we wanted to bring it up to par with the rest of the game.

Two new mission types The PvP overhaul introduces two brand new mission types: Outpost Deathmatch and King of the Hull.

• In Outpost Deathmatch, two teams battle inside one of two purpose-built outposts. The first team to reach a set amount of kills gets the win.
  
  
• In King of the Hull, the teams must race their subs to a beacon station, get inside, capture it and defend it from the enemy team to emerge victorious.

Improved Sub versus Sub gameplay Something we’ve seen players request many times is choosing different subs for different teams in ... Read more

Hello everyone!

The next update is now about a month away, so it’s time to take a closer look at what’s new on Europa this time. We’ll cover the “big thing” in the update in our next post, and this time, let’s take a look at…

Alien ruin improvements Alien ruins will be more varied both in their visual and gameplay aspects: New modules and decorations will make the ruins feel more lived-in and intriguing, while new puzzles and traps will challenge your crew’s tactics more than their plasma cutters. The update will also include brand new events that will encourage exploration and give you more information on the mysterious beings behind the ruins.

Exploring the ruins will also be more rewarding. Dementonite can now be used to craft more experimental items, like gravity-affecting ammunition for your submarine. The gene splicing system is also r... Read more
