Community17 Apr 2025Crashlands franchise: Look at week 1 of the sequel's launch & the plushiest FluxHey there, my favorite Pen Pal (Keyboard Pal?)! We got Crashlands 2 out the door a week ago, so it's time for an update on how that went and what comes next. Week 1 of Crashlands 2 The game really exploded out of the gate, climbing to the top of nearly every chart. We hit a peak concurrency of 8500 players, with 1000 reviews, all just on Steam! For a moment there we were even ahead of the mega-…
Oh hey there, youngster! People say that time moves faster and faster as you age. My last Ballyhoo marked 4 weeks to the Crashlands 2 launch, and I was so excited about how close that was. The blink of an eye! But 4 weeks was still an eternity for the youths, who only rolled their eyes and yelled, "That might as well be next century, old man!" as they vaped off into the sunset. But now we're on…
Crashlands 2 comes out on April 10, which is merely 3 weeks away . I want to take a moment from the million wrap-up tasks we have left to give you an update. The most important update is that we're on track for our release date and don't expect any delays! 🧪 Beta Test Wrapped We'd filtered 900 applicants down to 100 testers, and gave them three weeks to play as much as they could. Three weeks…

One last thing: we'll be running a closed beta tes t to catch any final issues shortly bef…
Hello, fellow time traveler! The new year is nigh, so it's time for me to pop my head up, blink a few times, then ask, "... what... year... is it?" and try to figure out what's happened since 2023 . A lot, it turns out! Crashlands 2 The biggest thing for 2024 was, of course, Crashlands 2 becoming nearly complete . Back when we announced the game in 2023 we thought we'd have it done by the end o…

We had this big bald spot in Crashlands’ game design. The combat fell flat over time and player choice started feeling a bit sparse. After a long look in the mirror we realized that we already had all the wispy design strands necessary to get maximum fun-coverage... we just needed to comb them into alignment. SO THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DOIN’! The COMBOver Patch features an overhaul of combat with 36…
Heyoooo! We're happy to announce that after months of bug-squashing in Beta, Crashlands now officially supports Linux!
