Farlight 84 Prepares for Global Relaunch with Major August 7 Update

Farlight 84 is undergoing its most significant transformation yet, with a global relaunch scheduled for August 7th. First released in 2023, the battle royale shooter is receiving a complete overhaul in what promises to be its biggest update to date.

Massive Investment Behind the Relaunch

Farlight Games has poured over six years of development time and more than $140 million into revitalizing the game. The upcoming changes will fundamentally alter the Farlight 84 experience across multiple fronts.

Game-Changing New Features

The landmark update introduces first-person perspective - a highly requested feature that replaces the previous third-person-only view. This comes with enhanced visual fidelity and refined control mechanics.

The quirky Buddy System gets a complete 2.0 overhaul, now featuring:

  • New companion creatures called Buddies
  • Elite Super Buddies tier
  • Active combat assistance with unique perks

Nextara, the brand new map, takes full advantage of the game's parkour combat system. Expect more vertical gameplay with enhanced mobility options including sprinting, vaulting and climbing mechanics.

Tactical Depth and Weaponry

New hero Kui Dou joins the roster, adding strategic variety to the 60-player battles. The update also brings:

  • Completely reworked weapon systems
  • Customizable loadouts with hundreds of combinations
  • The outrageously fun Rat Cannon - a self-launching mobility tool

Combat receives a major upgrade with 17 integrated systems delivering precise impact feedback. This results in more satisfying and tactical gunplay throughout matches.
