We hope you’re enjoying The Dead Await 1.0 release! We did our best to address as many issues as possible before launch, but a few additional problems were still discovered and reported after release. And now, it’s time for another update from us: “Trading 1.5”! 🥳

What the update includes:

• Profile ranks depending on playtime

• 5x combat animation speed option and improved existing options

• Dynamic shop discounts

• Bug fixes, balancing changes, and improvements

And to celebrate... we also have a special redeem code waiting for you!

Trading outposts and settlement shops will now offer daily dynamic discounts in addition to fixed discounts on different items, ranging from 10% to 50%.

We hope this feature makes trading more interesting and encourages players to do regular trading runs instead of focusing only on shop restocks, as you might miss valuable discounts and profitable trade opportunities that wouldn’t normally be worth it.

As a way to showcase your experience and proudly prove you’re a veteran TDA player, we’ve added 10 different ranks based on total playtime.

The first time you load a save file, your playtime will be updated accordingly and displayed in the bottom right corner of the main menu. Ranks are now also visible in the shoutbox.

We’ve reworked how combat animation speed is handled under the hood, which now allows us to properly speed up animations, including smaller timers that were previously unaffected.

To make combat even faster, we’ve also added a new 5x combat animation speed option that is nearly instant and allows for much quicker gameplay.

Thank you for being part of the journey. 🤍
