Alpha 5 starts Thursday

Alpha 5 starts this Thursday, November 12 and runs for almost a full week, our longest playtest so far.

Here’s the schedule:

  • Start: Thursday, November 12 at 10 AM PT
  • End: Wednesday, November 18 at 10 AM PT

If you played in a previous Alpha, you’re in automatically when the servers go live. We’re also inviting more new players from the Steam signup list.

A few things to look forward to

  • Doomsday Bunker: new endgame content. Collect Intel from Legión Sangre Invasions to discover where the bunker is. The most difficult content in the game, but the most rewarding.
  • New Horse Traits: whistle while you’re downed and a Medic horse comes to revive you. A Warhorse speeds up after trampling an enemy, and a Gatherer picks plants as you ride past.
  • Two new Strongholds: Apex Oil Works and Depot, plus an overhauled Modoc and updated rivers across the island.
  • Furniture that matters: sit in chairs, and mount fish, weapons and animal heads on your walls. Comfort now raises your max health and your chances at extra gold and loot.

Full patch notes are on the way.

Watch it first

Jeff Kaplan and Tim Ford do a Doomsday Bunker run with Geoff Goodman and Matt Goss live on Wednesday, November 11 at 10:30 AM PT, the day before Alpha 5 starts. Catch it on Twitch or YouTube.

If you haven’t already, head over to our Steam page to Wishlist and sign up for future playtests, and come hang out with us on Discord.

See you on the 12th!
