Japanese developer Pocketpair announced that the Seamless World Update for the open-world survival game Craftopia would go live next month, in June.
After over a year of development, we are finally ready to announce that the Seamless Update, the biggest update ever for Craftopia, will release in June 2023,
Pocketpair's press release said.
Much of the Seamless World Update is based on the feedback that the studio has received since launching Craftopia on Early Access in 2022. The update will bring many changes, ranging from "radical" to "improvements," they added.
We took your warm requests seriously and steadily revised the game point by point,
Pocketpair explained. Developers took more than a year to create the Seamless World Update. Some of its highlights included larger maps and more biomes to explore. They also promised to improve combat systems and mechanics.
Pocketpair also published a teaser for the Seamless World Update on YouTube. The video showed new locations, mobs, challenges, and in-game activities.
The Seamless World Update will introduce crafting, mining, hunting, and looting. Players can also deploy machine-powered weapons during battle.
Craftopia was released for PC in 2020. Pocketpair then ported it to the Xbox One and Series X|S a year later. The game received generally positive reviews from gamers. However, they hit the game's apparent poor quality-of-life.
The developers initially planned on providing updates daily. But they dropped it, saying that the approach was unsustainable. As we continued to improve the game, there were many problems that we just couldn't solve in the short term, so we took some time off and worked hard to make the game the best it could be,
they said.
