Today, Focus Home Interactive and Vostok Games are deploying a new update for their Battle Royale FPS, Fear the Wolves, now available on Steam Early Access. Fear the Wolves drops players, in squads or as lone wolves, into the oppressive environment of a radiation-ravaged Chernobyl. A classic Battle Royale mode forces them to fight to be the last man standing.
From the launch of the Early Access, Vostok Games has been looking at feedback from the community which has allowed the team to roll out multiple updates and improvements – but that was only a start, as the dev team continues to improve their game on a regular basis during the Early Access period. Today’s update is dedicated to performance optimization – many players should see a significant improvement during their gameplay sessions while Vostock continues working hard to make sure Fear the Wolves runs smoothly and achieves performance on all configs as the Early Access develops.
Maps have also received careful attention with more landmarks and topography tweaks, not only strengthening the immersion into the dark Chernobyl atmosphere but also bringing more intense challenges during the entire gameplay session. With greater overall balancing (loot distribution, weapons, etc.), matches have now been optimized to start with fewer players to reduce lobby wait times.
More additions like the inclusion of additional language support, queuing for a new game while being in spectator mode, improved visuals, and more content will complete this latest update.
More information will be revealed in the incoming months, so stay tuned for more! Enter the battle for Chernobyl, as Fear the Wolves is available now on Steam Early Access. The launch of the full game is planned for 2019.
