The below list can serve as a high-level overview of upcoming updates in progress. However, it is not an exhaustive list, and therefore does not necessarily include all planned content.

The major focus of update v0.80 will be reworking the ritual to be more exciting, unpredictable, and unique. Ultimately, the experience will go beyond simply fending off hordes of creatures heading towards the ritual altar, and will instead introduce brand new challenges and mechanics, including elements specific to each Mejai's strengths and weaknes...Hotfix (v.65.6)Jun 2, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFixes • Fixed an issue with the appearance of the Chalice treasure in the collection display • Fixed an issue that could still cause duplicate treasures for players approaching a full collection • Fixed an issue that could result in a missing room in tomb variation #3 • Fixed an issue with objectives related to rare treasures, in which the objective for collecting them would still appear even if none spawned in • Fixed an issue where the lower level archway would glow even when the incorrect Mejai was guessedHotfix (v.65.5)May 31, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChanges • Treasure and lore pages that have yet to be collected by everyone in the group are now further prioritized when spawning • Public lobbies will now always appear first in the lobby list Fixes • Fixed issues related to artifact/treasure spawning, including duplicate artifacts and more than 2 appearing during one expedition • Fixed an issue in which gold found within hidden TNT areas skewed the required gold collection objective • Fixed an issue with missing radar floors in certain TNT areas • Fixed an issue on tomb variation #1 with the TNT room walls sticking through the steps of the start roomHotfix (v.65.4)May 29, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFixes • Removed a music track from the inner tomb which was causing copyright issues for streamersHotfix (v.65.3)May 27, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChanges • Added a mild head bob effect that can be toggled on/off under Gameplay settings Fixes • Fixed an issue causing Ataimon to get stuck after being stunned by TNT • Fixed an issue preventing the Variation #2 snake’s animation from playing • Fixed an issue causing the relic to disappear if the host leaves or changes during the round • Fixed an issue causing public games to be hidden when the "Hide Private" option was selectedHotfix (v.65.2)May 26, 2023 - Community Announcements- Fixed an issue where players could get stuck inside a sarcophagus - Fixed a gap in the lower tomb on Variation #3 - Fixed an issue occurring when a player is killed by TNT after collecting the relic - Fixed an issue causing animation glitches after a player dies while on a moving platform - Translation improvements and fixes - Fixed an issue in which private lobbies were still appearing despite the Hide option checkedSpectral Awakening - Major Development Update - Now Live!May 26, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsA note from the developers: The FOREWARNED: Spectral Awakening major content update is here! The past few development updates focused on improving the existing experience, including visual overhauls, AI enhancements, expedition modifiers, and many quality of life changes. Our next focus introduced in this update has been filling the tombs with increased scares and immersion via new environmental events and new interactions between the Mejai's spirit and player, designed to add further unpredictability and uniqueness to each expedition. This update also comes with the long-awaited TNT item, core gameplay changes, treasure improvements, and more! Please share your feedback and suggestions in our official Discord! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40162081/08f82d26b9ada34db8a8aa33335a28369e16f5d7.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40162081/3fd5185aba7694a698e54af00c9156f62a2b7ca1.png While previously believed to be relatively passive, the Mejai's spirit has grown further enraged by the countless desecrations of its tomb. This anger has empowered the Mejai's spiritual form to have a more active role during the investigation phase of your expeditions... The Mejai spirit's appearance has evolved into a more terrifying, corporeal embodiment Its AI has been improved in a number of ways to make it more intelligent, including its movement and general behavior when haunting the tomb It will make itself more known during the investigation phase of your expeditions and has grown more protective of its tomb, not taking kindly to desecrations of any kind The spirit has a variety of newfound abilities, including the ability to interact more with the environment and props within the tombs In addition to environmental interactions, the spirit now has several additional ways of interacting directly with players, including moving them, causing them to suffer hallucinations, and more... Improved the pacing/cooldowns of ambient sounds, spirit effects, and phenomena The spirit's audio methodology has been improved to reduce possible repeat sounds it makes during an expedition Developer Note: While the Mejai's physical manifestation phase is generally considered the most tense part of each expedition, we wanted to add further excitement to the investigation phase to bolster replayability and keep players more on edge. Both environmental events and spirit/player interaction events have been implemented in a way to respect the game's pace, avoiding events occurring too close together, repetitively, or after too long of nothing happening. Players diving in to this update can look forward to discovering over 75 unique ghost events. Given this, each expedition should feel more exciting and unpredictable, with the possibility of experiencing something brand new each time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40162081/505b0fde6ba88e78a6ca8317bfd21e58030c20aa.png Have you been missing that certain spark in your life?
