Get Your Holiday Present in The Wild Eight

Happy Christmas Greetings, Survivors! (Or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa - whatever suits you) The holidays are right around the corner - and what better way to celebrate them than surviving the cold and desolate wilds of Alaska alongside your friends and family? This Holiday season we’ve decided to give back to our fans - so every player can find a special present next time they launch the game. Perfect for spreading that Holiday cheer! Alongside new Holiday content, we’ve also updated the game and fixed some of the current issues. See the full patch notes below:
Use a flashlight and find your next victim even in pitch darkness

Changes

[olist]

Added a new item - Flashlight. Combine “Broken Flashlight” and “Batteries” in your workshop to use it

Weapon equipment slots are now displayed on the HUD

The player now respawns in the Bunker Hub (if it is unlocked and not exploded).[/olist]

Fixes

[olist]

Fixed an issue where equipping a full stack of Throwing Stones while both equipment slots and the inventory are full resulted in the weapon replaced by Throwing Stones disappearing

Fixed an issue with Animal Traps and Bait attracting animals before its placement

Fixed an issue with Sound Settings reverting to Default after game restart

Fixes for HUD/game overlay issues

Fixes for Main Menu/in-game Pause Menu accessibility issues

Fixed an issue with Weapon’s Durability not responding correctly to Throwing. [/olist] A big amount of work is still being done - most of which you’ve already heard about. New UI, Controller Support, New Animals and other original content - all of this and more is coming your way in January. Happy Holidays from HypeTrain Digital!

The Wild Eight is in a constant state of improvement, and it is not yet complete. If you are not ready for rare bugs and wipes, we recommend waiting for the full release. This does not mean that the game is unplayable or lacks features, it’s actually vice-versa! Right now The Wild Eight is fully enjoyable and has all main features such as the multiplayer, storyline and side quests. Buying the game and providing your feedback during Early Access will support us in improving the game. For more details check out our Early Access section above.

***

The plane crash was only the beginning. Eight survivors are stranded in the middle of an unforgiving Alaska. Don’t let it consume you. Survive and live to tell the tale of The Wild Eight.

In The Wild Eight always keeping on the move is your only way to survive and find out what happened with this mysterious place. It doesn't pretend to be a realistic survival sim, but very challenging and fun game designed for both, a teamwork multiplayer and an immersive singleplayer experience.

EXPLORE
Uncover the mystery behind the plane crash by following the quest lines and find all the anomalies that lie hidden in this snowy region. Follow the side quests to abandoned buildings, strange laboratories, facilities for unique loot and something out of this world!
COOPERATE
Join with other players online to take on the toughest of all the challenges.
SURVIVE
Brave new horizons in this beautiful, yet deadly random generated low-poly world. Warm your body around the campfire at night. Take shelter from blizzards and share the food with other survivors!
CRAFT & IMPROVE
Gather whatever you can to create the tools that will ensure your survival - weapons, clothing and gathering tools. Upgrade survival skills in your shelter to tailor the gameplay to your needs.
HUNT OR BE HUNTED
Flee from the ferocious beasts or turn the tables and let them taste your fear. However, there are things lurking in the wild that are even more dangerous than wild animals and blizzards.

All of this and more awaits you in The Wild Eight that gets updates with new features on a weekly basis. There’s more than the cold earth beneath the snow…
