You’d best hold onto your space helmets, as judging by comments made by Lethal Company’s creator, things are about to get even wilder in the co-op scarefest.
Back in January, solo developer Zeekerss revealed plans to add"lots of new creatures and map variation"to Lethal Company’s next major patch, Version 50. Now, in a post on Twitter, the developer has given an update on its development as well as more of an idea as to what to expect.
“I’m distracted by my life right now,” Zeekerss explains, “but I have Version 50 slowly cooking.” They add that if they wanted to, they could release the update right away but are instead opting to hold it back so they can add more to it. “I could release it now, but I want it to be really substantial,” they share.
What’s more, this approach of releasing more sizeable updates less often could be one the developer adopts going forward. “I’m starting to think it may be better for all updates to be bigger and less frequent,” they add.
As for the content itself, Zeekerss says in afollow-up tweet, “I really want content updates to Lethal Company to feel like I broke into an alien zoo and released all the animals.” This suggests we could be on the run from a host of exotic entities eager to tear us to ribbons in the not-to-distant future, which sounds brilliantly thrilling and utterly terrifying.
If you’re curious as to what all the fuss is about, then there’s no better time to get on board as Lethal Company is currently 30% off onSteam, meaning that from now until February 15, it can be scooped up for $6.99 / £5.95 rather than the regular price of $9.99 / £8.50.
