Greetings, Sol and Centauri soldiers!
Back in mid-October, we gave you an exclusive sneak peek at Crimson Peak in our first devblog. Now, the wait is officially over—the highly anticipated new map is live and ready for action!
Breaking away from the arid, sprawling sand plains of Baltarus, Crimson Peak introduces a stunning new biome. Picture a battlefield with sparse vegetation, partially covering the landscape, all bathed in a haunting crimson glow.
Nestled within the Southern Tablelands, this top-secret balterium seeding site on the Centauri homeworld has become the epicenter of ferocious clashes for control over the precious resources. Get ready to fight tooth and nail for dominance in this breathtaking new frontline.
