Updated Weapon Audio Coming with Invasion Update
We are serious about supporting Earthfall! With the upcoming Invasion Update coming out later month we will be adding Player Progression, Player Perks & Skills, Invasion Mode which is our twist on horde mode, new player skins, and outfits. But we didn't stop there, we wanted to take Earthfall to the next level, specifically in the weapon audio. So we asked around and search and found what we think is the best sound design team in the world, Formosa Group. It is hard to argue based on their work which spans across games, movies and television including Uncharted, God of War, Mass Effect, John Wick 1, 2 and the upcoming 3, Deadpool 2, Blade Runner 2049 and Game of Thrones.

The team at Formosa Interactive took on the task to take the Earthfall weapon audio to the next level with Academy Award-nominated Alan Rankin taking charge with the weapons. His background in game audio goes all the way back to working on Quake 2 and a huge gamer himself!
We also wanted to give you a tease of the new Invasion mode, which is our twist on horde mode. Survive each wave and set up traps to help you survive a little longer. We will be talking more about Invasion mode very soon!
Each and every day we continue to take Earthfall to the next level and we are excited for you to get your hands on the upcoming Invasion Update later this month. We continue to listen to what the community wants out of Earthfall moving forward and always open to your feedback. Thanks for the continued support and go kill some aliens!
Militia Update Out Now
Time to blow some aliens up! The Militia Update for Earthfall is now available on Steam. This includes the new grenade launcher which can let you destroy the incoming alien invasion. We have also added some new hunting and camo inspired outfits and weapon skins. All for free!

We really looked over what fans were suggesting, and a heavy weapon kept coming up in conversations and posts online. We wanted to do something a little different and were inspired by some new military weapons given Earthfall takes place in the near future. The grenade launcher has a punishing primary fire, but those wanting to do some extra fun damage you can use the alt-fire and drop a shell right in the middle of a group of aliens and watch it explode a second later. We feel it really add something to the arsenal in Earthfall and makes it worth going back and trying out each level!
We know the fans wanted more variety in the way they looked in-game. We started thinking where survivors would find weapons, and sporting goods stores kept coming up, which have tons of apparel including camo and hunting gear. So we figured let's add that to Earthfall. Each character has their own outfit with camo and warning orange. Additionally, we have included some camo inspired weapon skins for those wanting to change up the look of your weapon.
This update is a little smaller, but that has allowed us to really focus our efforts on next months Invasion Update, our most significant update to Earthfall.
Earthfall Inferno Update Out Now
We are excited to announce that the Inferno Update for Earthfall is now available for FREE on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam. With this update, players can access a brand new level, Inferno, which has the player surrounded by a forest fire as the aliens approach. You must work as a team to survive and use all the weapons you can find, including the new xP9D Compact SMG. Players looking for a little individuality will be thrilled with the new Fire Themed Weapon Skins and new player skins. All available for free!
Since the launch of Earthfall, we have listened to the community for issues and features. There are hundreds of fixes and updates included in the Inferno Update including resolving a performance issue with the Glintec Sniper Rifle, various Achievement issues, PlayStation 4 voice issues, and customization selections not saving correctly. These are just a few of the items included with the Inferno Update! Read the entire changelist below.
We didn't stop there, we also made some other quality of life changes to improve the overall quality of Earthfall. One community request was something we’ve wanted to fix for a long time: Drone hit reactions. We went back and tweaked the hit reactions to make them look and feel more grounded. We are happy with the results, tell us what you think!
The Inferno Update is just the first free update for Earthfall with Militia and Invasion coming soon!

New Weapon - xP9D Compact SMG
One of the most requested items from the community has been for us to add more weapons to Earthfall. We had TONS of ideas during development and even more suggestions from fans on what type of weapons we should add to Earthfall next. With the upcoming Inferno Update, we are excited to be adding a Compact SMG to your arsenal.
The xP9D is a Compact SMG that punishes the alien invaders with a high firing rate and a large clip. Make sure you get close to your target and shoot in bursts to maximize your damage. Need a little more accuracy? Use the red dot scope to help you nail that thresher or get a headshot on an incoming drone swarm. Even with the large clip, the ammo goes quickly to make every shot count!
With the addition of the xP9D, it is a perfect time to go back through each level and look for ammo crates that include the XP9D as well as weapon printers that have been updated allowing you and other survivors to print it to fight against the alien invasion.
Look for the xP9D, new skins, and a new level in the upcoming Inferno Update for Earthfall coming soon. Stay tuned for all the latest news on Earthfall by following @EarthfallGame on Twitter, Liking Earthfall on Facebook and joining the Official Earthfall Discord to chat with other players and the development team.
Earthfall Development Roadmap
It has been a couple of weeks since the release of Earthfall. In that time, we went over all the feedback we could find on Earthfall. Every post, every review, every tweet, every suggestion and so on. After many internal meetings and discussions, we are excited to announce the Earthfall roadmap for the next couple months. This is just the first round of planned updates with each month's update including a mixture of fan-requested features, new modes, new missions, new weapons, new cosmetic items and bug fixes.
Our first release the Inferno Update will include a new mission, Inferno. This mission provides a unique experience with entirely new enemy variants, fire spitter and fire sapper. To fight these enemies you can equip yourself with a new weapon, a compact SMG, to mow down the oncoming enemies. Additionally look for new player and weapon skins as well as many quality of life bug fixes.
Our second update, the Militia Update, has our survivors raiding a bunker with what every survivalist needs, camouflage clothing, camouflage weapon skins, and a grenade launcher. Yes, a grenade launcher! The perfect weapon to fight against the alien invasion.
Our third update is our largest, the Invasion Update. This update will radically change Earthfall with the inclusion of Player Progression. Players can earn experience to unlock new cosmetic items and player abilities. That is a significant update by itself, but we wanted to do more so we are adding Horde Mode to Earthfall. Fight against the alien invasion with your friends online over and over again in four new Horde Mode maps.
As you can see, we have a lot planned, and this is just the start of our post-release support for Earthfall. We want to grow Earthfall over time, and we need your support and feedback to help make it great.
