Since the launch of The Way of Winter scenario, we've been listening closely to feedback from all Meta-Humans. Based on your suggestions and our own gameplay tests, we've held in-depth discussions and made careful adjustments to improve the scenario. After the June 5 update, we'll release an upgraded version of The Way of Winter, marked with the "Update Test" tag. Here are the details of the update:
Thermal Tower Construction Rules Updated
Thermal Towers are now considered large structures that can be built within your territory. You can share their effects with other players via permission settings. They no longer take up large amounts of space in the wilderness.
Extreme Weather Rules Updated
Extreme weather will now spread gradually across the wilderness as the scenario progresses. In each phase, new extreme weather effects will appear—not just temperature changes, but special regional effects that bring different survival challenges. If players don't deal with the extreme weather in time, the temperature impact will spread to nearby areas.
New Large Public Structure: Chaosium Hub
You can use a special item called the Chaosium Heart at Chaosium Hubs to reduce the level of extreme weather in an area. You can also summon the Chaosweaver and defeat it to dispel the temperature effects. Doing so will completely remove the extreme weather for that phase. Also, you can spend Raw Chaosium at Chaosium Hubs to gain special regional buffs to help you survive harsh environments.
Scenario Ending Updated
All Meta-Humans will face extreme weather together. Your actions throughout the scenario will determine which ending is unlocked!
Work together to overcome the challenge and bring hope to the Snowy Realm!
Other Improvements
Improved the temperature-related prompts and transitions between regions, making it easier for players to understand and respond to temperature changes.
This update to The Way of Winter focuses on significantly enhancing the survival experience and adding more strategic depth to extreme weather mechanics. By improving how temperature control and weather systems work, we aim to deliver a more immersive survival challenge.
All other gameplay features—such as story tasks, dungeons, and Public Crisis Events—remain the same, which means the core of your The Way of Winter adventure is unchanged.
We invite all Meta-Humans to try out the updated Way of Winter. The update is still in development, and we'll continue to improve it based on your feedback. We also look forward to hearing your thoughts on the difficulty and system design through the community and in-game feedback channels!
