| Devlog #60 | 2026-03-11 | Hi everyone. We have been hard at work to get the next update ready for you. Here are all the things you need to know. Wipe Delayed As we have realized that the update is not ready for the next scheduled wipe, we have decided to postpone the wipe so we can deliver the new map and wipe in the same update. This is necessary since there will be new restricted areas in the map that cannot be built on, and we want to ensure everyone starts on equal footing with the new content. We know this might be disappointing for some of you who were looking forward to a fresh start, but we believe the wait will be worth it when you experience everything Wild |
| Devlog #59 | 2026-02-06 | Good evening everyone. I will jump right into the news and topics of Longvinter. First of all, I want to let you know that we have noticed the performance degradation on some US and KR servers and we will continue to work on getting the performance to an acceptable level on all servers. That has always been a goal and will be in the future as well. Next Update Engine Upgrade Yes, we will be upgrading our engine from Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.7. The main reason for this is that as we prepare for the console release, this upgrade will be necessary for compatibility with cross-platform support.
