Fallen Earth, the sleeper hit of the busy September MMORPG release schedule, has just had its first State of the Game address. Fallen Earth LLC, the game’s developer, went the road less traveled by MMOG companies. The company not only laid out the immediate future for the post apocalyptic MMORPG, but also plans past the upcoming “first big content patch” and even sales and distribution statistics.
Ilkor started off the address by teasing the first big patch, v1.1.0. In a game that’s already seen a handful of patches, mostly for optimizing and bug fixing, the upcoming one will offering sizeable amount of content, including a far deeper tutorial experience. The starting zones will feature more “about basics like crafting, harvesting, buying and using mounts, how to use mail and other essential skills.”
Looking past v1.1.0, Fallen Earth will receive further patches full of fixes and optimizations to address, promotional item issues, additional content for levels 32-35, and an revamped updater designed to decrease its own checking and downloading issues.
Ilkor closes out the post by addressing a few player concerns, Fast Travel, Respec and Box Sales. For the latter pair, the company wishes to hearl input on what the players want. The former is just a notice that the company continues to work on getting physical copies out to retailers. It is noted earlier that the game continues to see “consistently strong sales.”
