Tomorrow at 11:00AM CET / 2:00AM PST, we will begin the release of version 1.1!

⚠️Warning:
During the patch deployment, servers may be temporarily unavailable. Game client update is required

This festive update begins our seasonal holiday event, while also bringing some important balance changes into the game (without a wipe). Our safezones have been decorated for the holidays, and seasonal weapon skins have been added back into the loot pool! You will be able to find some new seasonal items this year inside of various loot boxes, like decorations for your base, or a sweet treat.

We have made many changes to base building, and other areas of the game based on your feedback. Thank you to everyone who participated during public testing! Check out the patch notes to see what has changed:

• Added holiday weapon skins into loot pools
  
• Added Christmas/New Years decorations and new seasonal items! Check out the Kamensk town square to find gifts under the tree!

Immediately following release, we are going to begin working on a smaller patch to further refine version 1.0 according to player feedback. Even though we have done lots of testing to get ready for release, it's always possible that new issues are found, and we are prepared for that.

Outside of short term plans, we will continue to improve and update Deadside for as long as we have a community to support. Leaving early access won’t be changing that. So let us know what you would like to see in future updates! While the focus might be on the release now, we are always looking to the community for ideas on future content.

Some server maintenance is required to prepare for our 1.0 launch later today. Here is what you can expect:

• At 1pm CET / 4am Pacific, all servers will be temporarily closed for maintenance to prepare for the release
  
• Private servers may be unavailable until the update is released, you may experience “version mismatch”
  
• At 6pm CET / 9am Pacific, the official release begins!

⚠️Warning:

During the patch deployment, servers may be temporarily unavailable. Game client update is required.

The release of version 1.0 to the live servers will require a wipe. All items, bases, safezone storage and player inventories will need to be reset for the update to function correctly on release.
