The Egg Hunt UpdateApr 2, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThe Egg Hunt Update is now live! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33747333/1749a64a1a8db2c4abff9b5653993b93b011b574.png This update focuses on an overhaul of our Artifact store, as well as significant changes to the Ally and Wild Spirit features from the previous update. Additionally, we’ve added a new objective available in custom games called “Abandoned Ranger”. Artifact Store: The store page of the main menu has received a face lift! Additional support for new cosmetic categories, allowing us to do “Daily”, “Weekly” or other faster rotations of store items. Improved the visibility of cosmetic items on display in the store by increasing their image size. Added the ability to sell cosmetics for Survivor Points Cosmetic Name will now be displayed when viewing the item in the store. Drops / Crates Page: We’ve introduced a new “Drops Catalog” that allows players to view the contents of a crate before purchasing it. Abandoned Ranger: We’ve added a new objective to the custom game mode! Abandoned Ranger is a new objective where a ranger-style escape vehicle has been abandoned and survivors must repair it. While repairing it, a signal will begin emitting from it. Signal Boosters around the map will start picking up that signal and transmit a radio frequency that blocks the cabin radio from being able to contact their escape vehicle. Players need to locate both signal towers and work to stop the frequency from transmitting. This objective is ONLY available in custom game mode as we look for feedback and continue to improve it before we add it to the main game modes. Added Easter event consisting of a progression tree and new store cosmetics. But wait, more notable changes include: Ally balance changes: There is now a delay before the Ally knows who their Allied Player is. An ally can be on any team (Survivor, Traitor, or Neutral) Wild Spirit Changes: There is now a cooldown for the roar attack Ghosts no longer accrue Ghost Power while transformed into a ghost bear There is now a 180 second cooldown between Wild Spirit transformations Voice chat is muted for the ghost bear while using Wild Spirit ability And more! Tranquilizer gun has been fixed Players now deal the correct amount of damage when suffering from the tranquilized effect Full update notes ➞ https://projectwinter.co/updates/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33747333/d60832dfcdc487b1a072ea8d1355ca77a2a4a088.png Free Pass Maintenance ConcludedMar 14, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey Survivors! The maintenance for Project Winter's Free Pass has concluded. Users may now resume use of the Free Pass version of Project Winter. Thank you for your patience.Free Pass MaintenanceMar 11, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey survivors! We're temporarily disabling the Free Pass version of Project Winter while it undergoes some maintenance. We're sorry for the inconvenience,Cupid's Chaos UpdateFeb 12, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33747333/52ec08a8791c51825ed3119b2b8a405939d2a48a.png The Cupid's Chaos Update is now live! This is the second update for those who were betrayed or found our winter world too tough. Here's what's coming to make things better in the afterlife: Wild Spirit - As a ghost, players can take revenge on their killer by transforming into the wild spirit of a bear! Wild Spirit ghost ability lasts for a short time. Wild Spirit has less health and damage than a normal bear. Wild Spirit costs 75 Ghost Power But wait, more notable changes include: Added a new role called “Ally” that grants health regen to that player if their ally is nearby At the start of a match, the Ally receives the name of another player in the match, their Allied Player. That Allied Player is guaranteed to have started the match on the survivor team. When the Ally is in their Allied Player’s radius, they slowly regain health. Be careful who you trust! Traitors can claim to be an Ally and try to exonerate their traitor partner by claiming that their traitor partner is their Allied Player (and as a result, is innocent). Traitors can also claim that a player they know to be a Survivor is their Allied Player so they can earn that player’s trust. Tranquilizer gun has been buffed. The tranquilized effect now slows a player 10% more The tranquilized effect now reduced a player’s damage by 25% The Tranquilized effect now alters a player’s movement direction The tranquilizer gun now takes slightly longer to aim Added valentines day event consisting of challenges and new store cosmetics Unleash your wild spirit with Cupids Chaos!

Ghosts of Winter - Part 1Dec 15, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33747333/2ec5cd8ddfe8c19591b076b21974980a0abd8563.png 🎄🔪 Stabby Holidays Survivors! 🎄🔪 The festive season has sprinkled its magic on Project Winter, bringing back our mischievous elves with the first of several updates to enhance the post-death festivities! 👻 Ghosts of Winter - Part 1 is now live! 👻 This spirited update is dedicated to the backstabbed survivors, terminated traitors, and those who found our winter wonderland a bit too challenging. Here's what's in store to add some cheer to the afterlife: Ghostly Event Voting - Even in the afterlife, your voice matters! Dead players can now vote for the global events that living players experience. Ghostly Item Usage - Ghosts now have an expanded arsenal including smoke bombs, flares, tripwires, and, of course, poison. Time to haunt with style! Ghost Power - The ghost ability system has been reworked to allow for additional ability uses over time. But that's not all! We've wrapped up some extra goodies for you: Snowmen now drop throwable snowballs for a little harmless fun with your friends. Overhauled Bonus Challenges so that players can now complete multiple challenges in a single match. Each completed challenge will grant a player a small stat buff. Added Holiday 2023 Progression Tree, weekly challenges, and a sackful of cosmetics to make your winter wardrobe sparkle. Increased the number of Blackout DLC tokens to 2 so that players who do not own the DLC can play more Blackout matches per day. Bug Fixes: Fixed a few issues where key bindings weren't displaying correctly. Fixed an issue where some previous login and progression rewards were not displaying in the correct order. Fixed an issue where players who had a fifth inventory slot (gained after crafting a backpack) were not able to select the third or fourth inventory slots. Fixed an issue where players could lose controller navigation abilities after purchasing specific cosmetics in the Limited Time store. Fixed an issue where tool tips would not show for ghost abilities on the inventory/ability bar. Fixed an issue where ghosts using a controller, were unable to correctly see tooltip information when pressing the up button. Fixed an issue where players were experiencing difficulty navigating timeline events using a mouse and keyboard. Fixed an issue where some Titles had "(Title)" appended to them. Fixed an issue where some players were seeing duplicate titles. Fixed an issue where the Progression list wasn’t scrollable; we made some UI adjustments to support being able to have a scrollable list so players can see the entire list. Fixed some spelling errors in progression tree items; we have turned on spell check going forward. Fixed an issue where a tree was too close to the Smoke Signal objective on the Blackout map. We thought you might like to get to the objective without the tree blocking you, so we moved the tree. Fixed a few environmental issues that would cause players to become stuck in different spots, be able ...Ye Olde Halloween UpdateOct 25, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Survivors, its time to get spooky!

Developers Other Ocean Interactive are now taking that hidden roles formula and chucking some zombies into the mix with the newly announced The Walking Dead: Betrayal. Its reveal trailer sums up the survival and betrayal tug-of-war quite nicely. Though the heartbroken screams of “NOO NOO” arguably steal the show. Take a first look at the backstabbing below.

As part of our anniversary we set out to gather some fun statistics from the profile tab to present to you all! While we found that you are all pretty good Survivors, having escaped 7 million times, not all survivors are equally cooperative. One player in particular has left their team behind to take the Escape Pod almost 500 times, in contrast to another player who has singlehandedly called the escape almost 5,000 times! In terms of animals killed, there is clearly some bias going on, as you have killed twice as many Wolves as you have Moose. In total brutally murdering 44 million animals for food, hide, loot, or just prestige. This is almost 15 times animals killed as there are wolves, bears, and moose still alive combined; but you don't stop there, cutting down 80 million trees and gathering over 132 million berries. After all this environmental damage, you have headed back into the cabin to cook 113 million items! In a game of deception, you all know that not everyone can be trusted. In total you have all used 1 million truth serums trying to figure out who the real Traitor is - one player alone having killed 9 thousand Traitors. As a result, Traitors have resorted to surviving in the wilderness where they've opened 45 million Traitor Crates and sabotaged 2 million objectives. In the end, you've all played 3 million games and collectively walked further than the distance to Saturn, which we are so grateful for! Thank you for the past 4 years of funny moments and laughs! Stay warm, Survivors!4th Anniversary FREE WEEKENDMay 24, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33747333/8a606d18012aa5eff258149437c182e4bac14324.png Happy Anniversary, Survivors! THANK YOU for your continued support and feedback over the past 4 amazing years! We prepared a bunch of things for this occasion, starting with a FREE WEEKEND! Project Winter will be free to play on Steam from Wednesday May 24th to Sunday May 28th. It will also be available ON SALE for 50% off on Steam during this time (until May 31st). Get your friends who may not have tried Project Winter before, and try to escape the tundra! We have also enabled a new Anniversary Progression, and a Community Project which will grant the anniversary backpack cosmetic to everyone who completes it! Stay warm, Survivors!Where's Gondolo UpdateApr 27, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33747333/722894adc51f3c9805dc68b907d73bab8bcb730b.png Attention Survivors! Where is Gondolo? This update removes the Gondola map from the Normal mode rotation, replacing it with a new "Beach" map. We've also reworked multiple game mechanics: - Traitor Airdrops now drop on the completion of objectives - The Dig Site objective now has its pieces carried like batteries. On top of that we're adding a new Traitor item called "Global Mute", which temporarily mutes all communication. Install the latest update (available on all platforms) to try out these new changes! NEW FEATURES & GENERAL CHANGES: New “Beach” Map A new map has been added to the game. This new map is largely the same as Gondola, but without actually having a Gondola. This map is only available in Normal game modes. Traitor Airdrops Rework Traitor Airdrops no longer act as rewards for stalling objective progress. Traitor Airdrops are now dropped upon objective completion: 1 Traitor Airdrop is awarded for the completion of First Objective. 1 Traitor Airdrop is awarded for the completion of Second Objective. DigSite Objective Rework Dig site objects are now carried like batteries rather than held in a player's inventory. New Traitor Item “Global Mute” has been added as a new Traitor item. Similar to the “Jam Radio” item, this item temporarily mutes all communication. BALANCE CHANGES: Traitor Balance Changes Increased spawn rate of level 1 energy drinks in low-risk traitor crates. Increased crafting cost of Solar Pulse traitor item from 10 Traitor Credits to 12. Separated Traitor Airdrops into different loot tables 1st Airdrop contains less offensive items, and more traps and deceptive utilities 2nd Airdrop contains more power-shifting, offensive items. General Balance Changes Adjusted spawn rates for first objective animal waves in Blackout. This should decrease the difficulty of this objective. Decreased the amount of resources that spawn in the South West tile in Blackout The Gondola map is removed from Normal Mode’s map rotation. Gondola is still available for play in custom games. BUG FIXES: Improved start up flow if network connectivity is unavailable at start up Fixed incorrect air drops being sent when completing certain objectives in Blackout mode. Fixed players being unaffected by jamming on blue and yellow radios if they had a red radio equipped at the moment jamming took effect. Traitor-only items now appear at the bottom of the crafting menu. Fixed a translation issue for the word “Back” in Ukrainian. KNOWN ISSUES: The Immune role is mistranslated in Canadian French. Many supported languages are not updated for the new Yeti and Hunter descriptions. First objective beacon is appearing on the North East tile on the Blackout map. Some icons on the new timeline screen appear mirrored compared to their actual location. The words "Emote Menu" appear instead of a prompt to assign a keybind in the keyboard keybinds settings. Event icon remains on screen when using a ...Spring Sale!Mar 16, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33747333/8c88a90ecc47a1b97846b47694da5f5cd16b4018.png Hang in there Survivors, the spring is on its way! Enjoy 50% off of the Project Winter base game and the Blackout DLC! Don’t forget to check out our Twitch creators to redeem new cosmetics! Our Twitch Drops are live until March 23rd! _____________ ToxMod Trial update: We've decided not to use ToxMod within Project Winter at this time. It has been disabled in our backend and the related code will be removed in a future update. We love working with Modulate, and ToxMod is an excellent tool for finding blatantly toxic players and has a bright future ahead. That said, after reviewing what it found during the trial, we've noticed that the reporting system we had in place was more efficient for our team size and the needs of our community. We're still passionate about solving these issues when they arise, but this glimpse into the broader statistics for Project Winter has given us confidence that our pre-existing approaches have been working reasonably well. We will explore additional options to keep our community safe, fun, and hate-free. In the meantime, please keep reporting bad eggs you encounter both from within the game and to us directly on our discord: www.discord.gg/projectwinter.
