| Event Tiles Are Here! | 2026-03-08 | Event Tiles Adventurous nomads exploring the wastes have returned with tales of Oases imbued with mystical power. Courageous Nomads who seek these pockets of life will be rewarded with powerful materials used to craft stronger weapons and armor and upgrade walkers. As a reminder to new and returning players, event tiles are now the center of the quality system. On these tiles, resources and mobs can spawn with various levels of quality. Quality mobs are stronger with more HP and give more experience. Resources can be found in quality throughout the map, or looted from the Rupu. These resources can then be used to upgrade your walker and craft |

We've all worked extremely hard over the past three years to get to this point and we can't wait to dive into this season with you all.

| Season 6 Stress Test Update! | 2026-02-27 | We will be launching the stress test today at 12 noon EST. Aside from that, we wanted to give you some more detail about what we're trying to achieve and how the test is set up. For this season, we have upgraded some of the servers to a newer CPU and made some other configuration chances. We want to test performance with this new set up. For that reason, the stress test will only have 1 Canyon map in each region for the duration of the test. We want to fully load the server and catch any performance issues now and resolve what we can. So that you can really stress the servers, we will be settings as follows: XP - 10x Foliage Respawn - 10x Loo |
| Last Oasis Season 6 Announcement | 2026-02-24 | It is time. Finally, Season 6 Chapter One is just over the horizon. S6: Ch 1 marks a major destination and turning point for us and for development of Last Oasis. It is the culmination of multiple years and thousands of hours of development, testing, and feedback. There isn't much left to say except we hope we've managed to provide an experience that is both nostalgic and fresh. On February 27th we will wipe all official servers and commence a stress test that will last through the weekend. This is a last check for stability and to validate a few things related to the server provider. Assuming the stress test does not reveal any major issues, |

| Final Test Update and Modkit 2.0 | 2025-11-18 | Greetings, Nomads! We want to thank everyone who participated in the current test. Your feedback continues to be invaluable in solving issues and preparing for the season release. The new tile spawning system worked very well and sets us up to be able to run seasons with a lot less overhead on our part, which lets us spend more developing and responding to issues we see during gameplay. Of course there were a few issues and hiccups as we learned how the new system would respond, but everything is set up nicely and lessons learned documented going forward. Today’s patch is a final clean up that should resolve most of the major outstanding issu |
| Season 6 Tile Spawning Test is Live Now! | 2025-10-03 | The test is live now on the official public servers! As discussed, the test will run for approximately two weeks and focus on our new tile spawning system. We will go through the full progression at an accelerated pace: 3x XP 2x Harvesting Ensure that you're on the default branch as shown below. |
| Seasons 6 Test Update | 2025-10-03 | Greetings, Nomads! The test will take place on official servers just as the last test did. No launch parameters are required and ensure that you have selected the default branch "None" in beta options, as shown below. All servers will go down shortly for approximately two hours, after which the test will begin! Also, as a bit of a house-keeping announcement, upon the launch of Season 6, we will be shutting down the S4 backend, so you will no longer be able to host servers based on the S4 version of the game. Plan accordingly. |
| Season 6 Test! | 2025-10-02 | Greetings, Nomads!As we told you at the end of the most recent test, there were three major hurdles standing between us and the release of Season 6 - Xbox certification, automatic tile spawning, and ensuring we have adequate server support. In order to get it all done, we thought we needed to expand our team and add some additional skillsets, so we’d like to introduce the newest member of Donkey Crew, Rarp!Hey all, I'm Rarp! Super excited to be joining the team as a developer. I've been around LO since the beginning of S1, so it feels amazing to now be on the other side helping shape the game. I've been a software engineer for about 15 years |
