Hello South American Bloodhunt community!

Since we launched our game in the Steam Early Access Program, we have seen quite a lot of players from South America playing our game.

With this in mind, we would like to evaluate if adding South American servers will improve the experience for the players in this region and see if there are enough players to have dedicated servers in the region.

We are happy to announce that starting right now we have enabled LATAM servers which are located in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

We hope that our South American players will be able to help us put pressure on these servers and also spread the word about our game so that you can have a fast-matchmaking experience.

Additionally, we also rolled out an update to our global matchmaking system which now looks for Bloodhunt matches outside of your region if your local region is currently low on players and it's taking a long time (2.5 minutes) to get matches going.

To get a local server going before the time limit is reached to widen the matchmaker we require that at least 45 players are queued into the same solo/group match.

While this might lead to higher latency, we imagine that players would rather play the game than wait for a very long time to get a match going.

We hope that this will resolve the issues with the matchmaking times during the nighttime in Australia.

Thank you so much for your support and as always, see you at dusk!
