Longvinter, after a three-year journey through early access on Steam, has officially launched version 1.0! This release marks a significant milestone, incorporating extensive player feedback and bug fixes to deliver a revitalized experience for both veterans and newcomers.

This major update introduces oil rigs scattered across the archipelago. Players can now extract oil, refine it into fuel, and engage in thrilling battles against LRI mercenaries controlling vital supply lines. Adding to the excitement are new dynamic events, such as helicopter crashes yielding valuable tactical gear, and an underground arena offering hourly combat for lucrative rewards.

The game world is significantly richer, boasting new wildlife including lynxes, wolves, wolverines, foxes, moose, and goats—all tamable as mounts! A plethora of new items have also been added, ranging from buff-providing hats and combat vests to an array of weapons, explosives, kitchen recipes, and interactive building/decorating objects such as oil refineries, refrigerators, microwaves, power poles, and turrets. Weapon balance has also undergone significant adjustments.

Future plans are ambitious, with the upcoming 1.1 update promising farming mechanics, a streamlined tutorial, apartment rentals, and shared community features. Furthermore, Longvinter is set to launch on PlayStation in 2026, bringing the game to a wider audience.
