Entwickler Endnight Games hat heute Morgen einen neuen Patch zu dem Survival-Titel The Forest veröffentlicht. Dieser bringt einen neuen Eingeborenenstamm mit sich sowie zahlreiche Bugfixes.
Endnight Games, das Indie-Entwicklerstudio hinter The Forest, veröffentlicht in regelmäßigen Abständen neue Patches zu dem Survival-Titel, die neue Inhalte sowie Bugfixes mit sich bringen. Am heutigen Mittwoch ist nun Alpha-Version 0.06 erschienen. Die größte Neuerung ist die Implementation eines völlig neuen Eingeborenenstammes, der kannibalisch veranlagt ist und verstorbene Kameraden isst.
Außerdem interagiert der neue Stamm mit den bereits bekannten Eingeborenen, wobei diese Interaktionen eher von kämpferischer Natur sind. Weiterhin fügt Endnight Games mit dem neuen Patch zwei neue Höhlensystem ein, die darauf warten, vom Spieler erkundet zu werden. Darüber hinaus können alle Fallen nach ihrem Einsatz wiederhergestellt und somit häufiger benutzt werden.
Weiterhin hat die Spieleschmiede die Grafik sowie die Beleuchtung an zahlreichen Stellen verändert und angepasst. Das Feedback der Spieler wurde beachtet, wodurch man jede Menge Bugs aus dem Spiel entfernen konnte. Unterhalb dieser Meldungen findet ihr wie gewohnt sämtliche Patch-Notes.
