Dear Stormworkers,
The next major update is almost here – and it will be the new Underwater Biome Major Update!
The new underwater biome includes over 40 square kilometres of underwater landscape, a volcanic ring of fire with several active volcanoes, underwater trenches, ruins, wrecks, and a vast network of underwater tunnels!
The new biome has many new named locations, in honour of the great community members and vehicle creators in the Stormworks community. These players have been selected because of their dedicated and selfless help given to other community members, or because of their incredible workshop creations that have risen to popularity on the workshop by community choice. We look forward to honouring these players in this major update.
There are also new missions including ocean floor submarine emergencies, ship salvage, sea floor cable maintenance, and more! Many of these new missions are ideal for spawning in the underwater biome, but can also appear all over the world of Stormworks.
We are adding a new glowstick first person item which can be used in a similar way to flares except is much less bright, has a much longer lifetime, and greatly assists location and path marking underwater.
The much-requested Kraken button will also arrive with this major update, allowing players to summon the kraken from the custom menu.
We can’t wait to share this new major update on the 2nd June at 4pm UTC! Join us then for the big launch. And until then, be sure to check back here next week for an exciting minor update!
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
