Shop Update

New shop screen featuring streamlined functionality all in one page.

Alright, let’s kick things off with the Shop Update, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. The developers have been hard at work listening to player feedback and giving the in-game Shop a serious facelift. No more clunky interfaces and endless clicking through pages — they’ve streamlined everything onto a single page, making it way easier to find what you need. It’s sleek, it’s efficient, and it’s all about getting you back to the action as quickly as possible.

The new Shop interface is seriously impressive. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a total newbie, navigating it is a breeze. They’ve even thrown in some handy tutorial buttons to help you get up to speed in no time. And for all you controller users out there, get ready to rejoice — they’ve made it possible to do everything with just one button. It’s a small change, but it’s going to save you a ton of time, leaving you free to focus on what really matters: hunting ghosts.

Map Progress: Point Hope

Next up, let’s talk about Point Hope — the much-anticipated new map that’s been in the works. We’re getting a sneak peek at its development progress, and let me tell you, it’s shaping up to be something special. The developers have been hard at work adding all sorts of cool new features, like a Games Room complete with a pool table, armchairs, and even a chess board. It’s the perfect setting for some seriously thrilling investigations, and I can’t wait to see what else they have in store.

Farmhouses Reworks
