Recommended Posts

Prepare your warships, Noveans: Athena update 0.29 has arrived in Dual Universe. The goddess of war and wisdom brings many features and improvements to the game such as contested resource hotspots in space, an improved First Time User Experience (FTUE) and many upgraded visual effects.

Watch the video to see for yourself why Athena is a game changer:

 

 

NEW FEATURES AND SYSTEMS

 

SPACE TERRITORY WARFARE: We are introducing ‘Alien Space Core Units’, which you can find scattered around at various locations outside of the Safe Space zone. These Alien Cores provide resources to whoever can fight to take and hold them.

 

NEW FTUE: Dual Universe’s First Time User Experience has been drastically upgraded to provide players with an easier to understand, more concise and overall improved introduction to the game. The starting experience will take place on a brand-new safe moon called: Haven.

 

STASIS WEAPONS: Designed to reduce the maximum velocity of targeted ships, these weapons allow you to tackle those who try to swarm or out maneuver you. This will add more dynamics and possibilities to engaging in space battles across Helios.

 

SPACE TRAVEL SPEED BALANCES: A constructs’ mass will now impact their speed: the heavier the ship, the less its maximum speed will be. Smaller, more agile constructs can now catch up with the heavier ones!

 

SYSTEM MAP: our new system map gives powerful new tools to players in visualizing the Helios system with new and improved menus, filters, navigation, and more!

 

LUA: Athena’s Lua changes bring many community-requested features into the game.

 

SPACE MARKET: With the introduction of the Aegis Market, players can now directly access a bot-free market housed in the void of space, between Alioth, Madis, and Thades.

 

IMPROVEMENTS

 

PVP VOXEL IMPROVEMENTS: We’ve improved performance when voxels are being destroyed. Thanks to the player reports we've received, we have been working hard to identify this voxel issue and have been able to improve on this system.

 

GRAPHICAL UPGRADE: From Blueprint Pre-Visualisation to a new Sky Box, to water and warp VFX, we’ve worked hard to improve the look of the game in Athena.

 

A full list of what’s new in Athena is also available on our forum.

 

KEEP THE FEEDBACK FLOWING

 

The constructive feedback we receive from our players continues to have an incredible impact on the continuing development of Dual Universe. Many of the features and changes we are bringing to the game are based on players' requests. Please continue to share your opinions!

We’ll be carefully reading your comments on this forum discussion thread.
