Wait... A New Map?

[RebelCobra]

Greetings!

I haven't kept up with this game for quite some time now and am just learning of this supposed new map? Can someone please provide a link so I can check it out? I'm not on Discord, so I'm really out of the loop on what's going on.

Thanks!

The new map is called Gateway and is going to be replacing Evrima's current map, Isla Spiro. As far as I'm aware, it is created entirely by Jace, the new map designer that joined the dev team awhile ago. Jace has actual experience in map design so Gateway should hopefully not have janky terrain like Spiro's infamous death cliff.
The QA embargo for Gateway just got lifted so it's likely going to be released relatively soon. If you want to see it, here's some gameplay videos of Gateway that have been released since the embargo got lifted:

Not available. We never get any ETAs, for anything.

With these developers you can never know. Hopefully sometime next month. I doubt it'll release in October.

As the map stress test embargo is now lifted, it usually means all that is left is to iron out the most obvious bugs, when this is done the game is given to the public, usually takes 1 to a few weeks from the embargo being lifted if all goes well

Its very unlikely that we will get a new dino with the same update as the map. But their work on Dilo, Herrera and diabloceratops is appearently making good progress. And since they now want to push out content when ever its ready, we might get just individual patches for dinosaurs without having to wait too long, since they wont be bundled into a large mechanics update or anything like before. Obviously I cant tell you any exact timings.
