ADS Sensitivity - We added this feature in the first week of May for both mouse and controller.
Trigger Remapping - We improved the controller experience also in the first week of May.
Weapon FOV Slider - This feature has taken the team longer than expected but we've been working hard to deliver it and we're pleased to announce that it will be finished and implemented very soon. However, we have added 120 FOV across all platforms.
Major Console Optimisation - We improved console optimisation and also continue to do so!
Additional Improvements & Features - After feedback from the community we also added a toggle to disable shakes for those experiencing motion sickness, improvements to audio, and colours to perks to name a few.

New Map House of the Damned - In a three month turnaround after our amazing launch, we introduced our first major content update The House of the Damned! This prequel map featured tight corners, hellish hounds and brand new missions.
New Special Weapon - The Corpse Grinder was a shredder of flesh, blood and bone!
New Perk - Get up n Go was a brand new perk that increased movement speed when in spirit form by 10% and reduces teammates revive time by 10% at its base.
New Hardcore Easter Egg - Our hardcore Easter egg in House of the Damned featured a head pick up and our infamous demon lamb.
Easter Egg Music - We were so excited to partner up with Msliterate and RevengeinKyoto for Neon Blood and have been overwhelmed with the amazing response. Find the full song in HOTD or listen to it on YouTube.
New DLC - Dead by Nightfall brought a brand new DLC pack that featured not just one mask, but two!
Additional Improvements & Features - We also added brand new hidden masks, trophies and ensured that all Quick Melee miracles affected all melee weapons as well!

*BONUS*: Epic Store - Also not on the roadmap, we released the game on a brand new platform, Epic Store, and implemented cross-play.

New Content Update - This new content update will feature: a new Map Tides of Terror, a new Special Weapon, a new Perk, a new Hardcore Easter Egg and new Easter Egg Music.
Optimisations - We are dedicated to improving the optimisation and implementing netcode improvements to Sker Ritual. This is always a priority to us and is an ongoing process that our team are continuously working on.
PS4 and Xbox One - We can confirm that we're still working on bringing Sker Ritual to the PS4 and Xbox One. Release date is still yet to be confirmed.
We are looking into improving the current ping system, as well as possible quick commands the player can choose from. We do not have any current plans to add voice chat. When we have more information, or if our current plans change, we will be sure to announce this.
We also wanted to note that with the total of five platforms, testing and patching has become a much bigger process! While we will endeavour to fix bugs and implement updates as soon as we can, there will be more time in between patches.
Once again, we can't thank you enough for your continued support of Sker Ritual and we look forward to sharing more exciting content soon.
