Tread recklessly and risk attracting the attention of a pack of sneaky Striders or a monstrous Crusher. You can go it alone or team up but be wary, the more valuable your haul the bigger the risk.
The life of a Prospector is full of danger, but any extra peril is sure to be worth it. Loot has also been revised in several places, balanced out between contract requirements and what you would expect to find in some points of interest.įinally, we are constantly refining the visuals of the planet, making sure Fortuna III is striking that perfect balance of threat and beauty. We’ve also smoothed out a lot of specific spots, making edges easier to climb and making sure you won’t remain stuck in certain areas. New paths have been added while a lot of other existing ones have been tweaked. Both maps have been reworked, revised and overall refined, based on the feedback you’ve provided us. Last treat for today, we’ve taken another deep look at Bright Sands and Crescent Falls. After all there has to be a reason these “elite” types decide to hang around specific places eh? Of course, greater challenges often come with greater rewards. Creature variations will provide an even greater challenge to those bold enough to explore the less welcoming area of the planet.
What more could there be to fear? We’re so glad you asked.Įxpect to see the Fortuna III fauna in a new, sturdier, deadlier light. Facing these beasts was a tough ordeal at first but with time you’ve learnt how best to deal with each of them. You’ve met the cute little Striders, the disgusting Rattlers, the monstrous Crushers and, of course, good old Jeff. These contracts can be very rewarding, but you should always stand ready for a fight, as anyone in the vicinity can see the Drill coming down and decide to grab a share for themselves! Once you’re done with their campaign, Korolev will offer you contracts allowing you to call on a Laser Drill on the surface. We want to integrate more of these activities to make Fortuna III the most exciting planet around.įor now, we are ready to introduce you to a previous fan-favorite, reworked and improved, something that will surely please both older and newer fans of the game: the Korolev Laser Drill. We’ve received a lot of praise about meteors and how they tend to derail casual drops, both in a rewarding and dangerous way. You will also unlock valuable gear as you progress through the campaigns, so make sure to see them all through! These campaign missions will guide you through your first steps on the surface and will eventually lead you into the usual contracts, all the while granting you a little bit of insight into the lore of The Cycle: Frontier. This time you will be able to experience 3 brand new faction campaigns, one for each faction. These contracts were a great way of building up a reputation and earning a few extra bucks but weren’t the most narrative experience around. Last beta, you had been doing odd-jobs for Korolev, Osiris, and the ICA, the 3 different factions of Prospect Station.
Fans diving back in for the second closed beta of The Cycle: Frontier will find a range of enhancements driven by community feedback, including improved combat balance, enemy AI, loot, and tutorials, as well as visual and audio optimizations, bug fixes and more. The original closed beta for The Cycle: Frontier was a huge success and one of the highest trending games on Twitch at its peak, smashing viewership records for the studio’s previous title, The Cycle.
YAGER has announced that the second free closed beta of the high-stakes survival shooter The Cycle: Frontier will run from March 10-28 on PC.
