A Twisted Path To Renown now has all the core elements to ensure a successful and challenging start for every player. We’re incredibly excited to share this version with you all. And by the way, we’ve decided to keep your hard-earned progress intact – no server wipes! All your previous progression will be saved as we launch the release version, so you can continue your journey without starting over. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948826/f6ed97aef7452b58d85fa5bb05e2981639a39cc3.png So, what does the game look like now? Two Unique Maps – PvE and PvP Challenges At its heart, A Twisted Path To Renown remains a tactical extraction shooter with two versatile maps: Arizona Forest: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948826/36da6e4cd4dd4405bad97fc02634c055b1a5866b.jpg A vast, PvE-oriented map with long distances between POIs, offering strategic and immersive gameplay for explorers and scavengers. Tennessee Hills: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948826/1af6a7e9f4ff93dd6beddf48d2c6dd265368ffc1.jpg A more compact, PvP-focused battlefield where every sound matters and danger lurks around every corner. The Homestead – A Business Growth Simulator {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948826/aaf5df6be7847f76253f7d3aba1c59b74fdbb779.jpg In fact it’s a realistic and dynamic economic hub where every profit, loss, and success depends on your choices, actions, and investment. Whether you decide to dominate as a fighter or grow as a businessman, the Homestead works 24/7, even when you’re offline. Give it a try! Reputation System – Friends or Foes? Now you decide – fight everyone or build alliances. The new Reputation System lets you forge relationships with factions, giving you safety, resources, and unique benefits. How you interact with the world will shape your journey and survival. Quests – Tied to Reputation {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948826/fd2c90dadb47edb8d0b93133407dc1bf407c58e8.jpg Quests are your path to improving reputation and reaping rewards. Some quests stand alone, perfect for polishing your skills, while others may force you to choose sides, impacting your faction relationships. Be careful – your decisions matter! AI Improvements – A Living, Breathing World {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948826/59a7ed2d9b847817c58fbfaff7ddb3163733e555.png From day one, we’ve worked to create an AI that feels alive, responsive, and realistic. With this release, we’ve reached our closest vision yet: NPCs now have daily routines, realistic behaviors, and lifelike interactions. Their survivability, reactions, and unique phrases breathe life into a world that feels like it exists on its own. A Journey Forward – This Is Just the Beginning While v1.0 brings all the core aspects we’ve envisioned, there’s much more to come – new features, events, and ideas are already around the corner. We couldn’t have done this without our greatest asset – you, our Community.

Every decision you make influences your standing and unlocks unique rewards. 3. Homestead Area Yes, we’re adding Homestead, a dynamic space for growth, creativity, and strategic planning. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948826/aaf5df6be7847f76253f7d3aba1c59b74fdbb779.jpg Now you can construct houses, workshops, and industries, shaping your Homestead to fit your needs. You will recruit and assign roles, bringing skilled recruits to your Homestead and giving them tasks like farming, crafting, or production. You will use your resources to craft valuable items and trade them at the Auction for profit or power. And even more: you can optimize and upgrade your buildings to make them more efficient, expand your production lines, and create a thriving economy. 4. Tennessee Hills Map – Coming Soon You heard it right! The wait for a second map is almost over! The Tennessee Hills expansion is well underway and will be added shortly after the release of this Update. With new landscapes, challenges, and opportunities, it promises to make your PvP and PvE experience even more challenging. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948826/ebee8ffaa22b37bef797f3918bb2104989f607dc.jpg This Update is a monumental step forward, offering endless possibilities for how you play and shape your journey in A Twisted Path To Renown.

Our game servers experienced DDOS attacks, and when we tried to redirect our players to AWS Fargate, Amazon rejected all the necessary player quota increases. As a result, most players who launched the game in the first few hours ended up on the DDOS-affected servers. This was the main reason for the issues mentioned in the first players' reviews, such as items and characters disappearing, various shooting problems, NPC and character teleports, and many others. Now that the performance issue is fixed, we are happy to welcome everyone back to play the game again. Thank you for your feedback, support, and patience! They help us a lot!

They will try to complete all tasks as quickly as possible. During this time, the servers will still be available for playing, but you might experience some server lag or connection issues. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience and support. Please stay tuned for further announcements regarding these changes.
