Longvinter, after a three-year journey through Early Access on Steam, has finally reached its 1.0 release! This milestone update, shaped by player feedback and bug fixes, offers a revitalized experience for both veterans and newcomers.
The star of this update is the addition of oil rigs scattered across the archipelago. Players can now extract oil, refine it into fuel, and engage in intense battles against LRI mercenaries controlling vital supply lines. Adding to the excitement are new dynamic events: helicopter crashes yielding valuable tactical gear, and an underground arena offering hourly battles for coveted rewards.
The game world itself has expanded, teeming with new wildlife. Lynxes, wolves, wolverines, foxes, moose, and even goats now roam the landscape, all tamable as mounts! A plethora of new items enrich gameplay, including buff-providing hats, combat vests, weapons, explosives, new kitchen recipes, and interactive building/decorating objects like oil refineries, refrigerators, microwaves, power poles, and turrets. Weapon balance has also undergone significant adjustments.
Looking to the future, the 1.1 update promises farming mechanics, a streamlined tutorial, apartment rentals, and shared community features. Furthermore, Longvinter's adventure will continue with a PlayStation launch planned for 2026, bringing the game to a wider audience.
