This is the official announcement for the Exploration Update coming to Area-41 in the very near future! This update will be mega, literally. Upon popular agreement, it was determined that the outside was going to be revamped and sewers would be added.
The outside will soon be changed from the grassy landscape we all know to the sprawling, winding, and extremely tall canyons of Utah. You can expect new ways into the facility, harder landscape to move through, and a much better scene to gaze upon.
However, don’t be concerned about your FPS! We have inserted a new voxel rendering engine to reduce some of the lag you have whilst playing Area-41.
The New Sewers will be a large maze of corridors that you can easily get lost in. Accessible from breaking into an abandoned drainage pipe outside or breaking into the sewers from the Class-D cell area. If you know your way around the sewers you will be able to travel into and out of the facility without risking detection.
The Sewers will bring you to your favorite areas of the site, and can even be used by raiders to get into the facility and cause havoc by breaching SCPs and fighting off combative personnel. However, it won’t be that easy. Combatives may be waiting for you in the sewers, sitting in the shadows.
That’s not all! The new Engineering area will be added alongside all these amazing areas. You can enter this area by entering the gate next to the Main Gate! This area will include a large storage area and auxiliary containment zones.
This will all be coming soon to Area-41 in the future, we will also begin to experiment with other things as well such as credits, datastores, large scale Class-D riots, and more fun events to participate in!
