New Major Update of Fade to Silence Released

Explore deep canyons, a refinery located in the middle of the zone and other POIs in The Pits, the new region in Fade to Silence, that was released today in the games’ newest major update. The Pits also feature new gathering areas you can make use of. But being the farthest region from your refuge, you need to equip the best gear you can muster.

Check out the update trailer of Fade to Silence, featuring some gameplay footage:

“New Followers

On top of that, two new companions join the fold! Say hello to Ezra and Gani!

Ezra “The Alchemist” managed to survive for a very long time, despite the harsh conditions, which is partly due to her widespread knowledge of every plant and herb that can still be found in the icy cold. Gani, “The Huntress” is determined to reverse the Eclipse’s devastating effects on the planet. Ready to take on any task, Gani expects the same of everyone else. Likewise, Gani won’t hesitate to call out faults in camp leadership when she sees them.

New Threats

Our Tech-Artists and VFX Artists did a tremendous job to introduce a new threat into the game. The snow tornado roams the canyons of The Pit and forces you to be extremely careful when you explore the new area.

New Refuge Upkeep System

We implemented a new upkeep system for the refuge. From now on, your followers in the camp are affected by the amount of firewood and food you have stored in the refuge. They also start to use resources that are stored in the refuge stash.
