Season 5 has launched!



Servers will go live in the next hour and the patch is available for download. While normally you would get patch notes, as we’ve said numerous times, S5 is a complete overhaul of the game. Nearly everything has changed. If you’re a returning player, consider that nothing you knew before is the same and keep an open mind! We’ve seen that people tend to catch on with the new mechanics much easier this way.

However, there are a few important housekeeping issues we want to touch on.

World Map and Soft Cap
A few months ago we talked about having a static map and some of the benefits that would give us for Season 5. The way the world map is designed will have a massive impact on the way Season 5 is played.

Tomorrow, Tuesday August the 2nd at 7 PM CEST / 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT marks the beginning of Season 5!

See you tomorrow,

Exact time and date will be announced on Monday, but we wanted to let you know: We’re close.

As we’ve talked about in the past, LOverhaul is a massive rethinking of the game. Many of you got to experience a taste during the Beta Branch and gave us lots of critical feedback that we used to improve the experience and more appropriately balance the challenge with the fun. With our work on this overhaul, we asked the question: What could Last Oasis be if we started entirely from scratch?

If I were to sum it up as plainly as I can: LOverhaul puts solos and small groups first. All the testing of Season 5 has been done by solo players and small groups. We balanced around that and made sure that there would be no big obstacles to enjoy the game at your own pace.

Now, that doesn’t mean that the game is easy. The main difference, though, i... Read more
