All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello Raiders, welcome to the totally tubular Surfpunk update #2! Today’s update is a little on the shorter side but it comes with some AWESOME NEWS! Read on for a super exciting announcement!

But first, we wanted to talk a bit about THE BEASTSHIP!

You’ve seen glimpses of the Beastship before but NOW, we wanna properly introduce you to this bodacious boat. And who better to give you the hot details than Eric Angelillo, the creative director of Surfpunk!

“The Beastship is the Raiders’ floating home base. It functions as the player hub between quests, and we conceived it to be an awesome hangout area for players. The ship will house NPCs and various stations for Raiders to interact with, craft gear, and change their loadout. We’ll have some other surprises as well!

Aesthetically, the Beastship is meant to highlight the world of Surfpunk and its level of technology. It’s a patchwork vessel with a triple-hull and various mechanized features powered by Evress, the key energy source that players seek on their scavenging quests. Its bow is a massive beast-looking hangar bay door, which houses and launches Raiders on their Rushboards.”

The Beatship is a BEAST of a SHIP right? A fine name for a fine vessel! Can't wait to get in there and hang with our fellow Raiders and discover all the Beastship has to offer!

✨AND NOW...AN ANNOUCEMENT!✨

We’ve got a date for our first public playtest:
🌊August 31, 2024 at 1:00 PM EDT! (10:00 AM PDT)!🌊

If you’re reading this, you might be interested in joining! Stellar!
Please sign up for playtests here!

Please note that only a small portion of raiders will be chosen for this particular playtest.
But fear not, bruh! There will be many more opportunities to play Surfpunk leading up to its eventual release!

Thanks for reading! We’re looking forward to shreddin’ some waves together! 🏄

CRUSH 'N RUSH!
