Community Crunch 465: Megaraptor Reveal, Summer Bash and more!
We’ve loved seeing Survivors dive into the Summer Bash event and explore the big Quality of Life update! Your feedback’s been rolling in, and we’re already taking notes for what’s next. Also, keep an eye out as our next Mod Spotlight, showcasing the talents and creations of the modding community, drops in the coming days!
Psst... we heard you miss the poker table. This mod’s got your back, no bluffing!
Something stalks the shadows…
You’ll hear it… too late. The rustle in the brush. The breath behind you. The sudden stillness in the dark.
Arriving with Valguero later this year, Megaraptor is not a monster of brute strength. It doesn't need to be. It waits, isolates. And when you’re alone, it strikes with unnerving precision, especially when no one is around to help you. Its presence clouds vision and reason alike, disorienting its victims just long enough to finish the job.
It’s not coming for the apex.
It’s coming for you… when you're alone, wounded, and thinking the nightmare is finally over.
