The Swine Head Update

This update introduces a brand new Weekly Challenge, a new Ghost model, a small investigation improvement, and kicks off a Double XP Event!

New Content

  • New Weekly Challenge - The Perfect Nightmare

    • A new challenge has been added to the Weekly Challenge rotation.

  • New Ghost Model - The Swine Head

    • The Swine Head can now appear during investigations.

Improvements

  • Investigation Timer

    An Investigation Timer has been added to the in-game tablet, making it easier to keep track of how long your investigation has been running.

  • UV Prints are easier to find

    • UV Prints chance of spawning as been increased to a 35% chance of spawning every 30 seconds (Was 20% every 30 seconds)

Double XP Event

All XP earned during investigations will be doubled throughout the event.

Bug Fix

  • Fixed a bug that caused UV prints to show up as a pink texture for the Ghost Player

Development Update

Severance has now begun its transition toward Full Release on Steam.

Because of this, the next stage of development will focus less on adding major new content and more on getting the existing game into the best possible state for 1.0.

Expect work focused on:

  • Major system overhauls and reworks

  • UI improvements and touch-ups

  • Polishing existing mechanics

  • Bug fixes

  • General quality improvements

The goal is to get the game's foundations to a point where major reworks are no longer necessary after Full Release.

Once Severance reaches 1.0, development can shift much more heavily toward regular Major Content Updates, including new maps, ghosts, equipment and more.

Thank you for continuing to support Severance! 👻
