Release Date Set for Fallen Earth
Blood Sports Patch
Fallen Earth players can now rest
easy and wipe that sweat off their brow as a release date has been announced for
the much-anticipated Blood Sports content patch (v1.4)! Including four
newly-designed PvP areas, more than 500 achievements, a Clan Wars system and the
expansive region of Deadfall, the patch will be available for existing players
on May 7.
With more than five months of
development on a PvP update, developers at Fallen Earth are introducing Blood
Sports, featuring four new PvP matches—Deathmatch, Survival, Capture the Flag
and Assault—allowing players the opportunity to queue up for all-out brawls from
anywhere in world. Deathtoll Points earned for participation and wins can also
be used to purchase new, high-end PvP-oriented armor and gear. (But don’t worry,
there will be no sore losers as all participants will score a few Deathtoll
points for their efforts).
Additionally the Deadfall region,
which expands the current level cap to 50, will introduce more than 130 new
missions, extended storylines, mutant mounts and several new craftable items
with a new component. In Deadfall, players will experience a vastly changed
landscape with five new settlements to explore.
Aside from new content, the Blood
Sports patch also contains a slew of improvements, including refined animations,
an effects revamp and also a one-time respec opportunity.
Existing Fallen Earth subscribers
will have access to the content patch beginning May 7, and new players will be
able to purchase Fallen Earth Blood Sports from several digital and retail
outlets, which includes the Blood Sports content patch in addition to all the
original Fallen Earth content.
Curious players may test the new
content on the Public Test Server as portions of the Blood Sports patch are
pushed to PTS throughout the upcoming weeks.
“We are thrilled to be able to
launch all of the new content in one major patch,” said Fallen Earth Project
Manager, Colin Dwan. “The team has worked very hard to make this happen and
we’re sure players will enjoy all of the new gameplay enhancements!”
