Hey guys, After Death update is here 🥳 Quick summary:

  • Battle pass coin shop 🛍️
  • Proximity chat 🎤
  • New roles: lurker and wolf scribe 🥳

Keep reading below for more details. Happy hunting! 🐺

Inventory filter

Inventory filter

The inventory filter dialog has a new option to filter avatar items by origin (where they came from, so battle pass, daily rewards, etc.) and by color. This is made possible due to a small group of helpers that have spent many hours categorizing items. Thank you! ❤️

Technically speaking color and origin are “tags” that are assigned to items. These tags are generic enough that we might see many more of these in the future (“event” tag anyone?).

Battle pass coin shop

Battle pass coin shop

Battle pass season 34 introduces a new seasonal currency: battle pass coins. These coins can be unlocked by progressing the battle pass and by completing battle pass challenges. Coins are valid for a single season only and will not carry over to the next season. Battle pass coins can be spent in a new battle pass coin shop with rewards that change every two weeks. Bonus role icons can be unlocked by purchasing more items in the battle pass coin shop.

For those that have played previous battle pass seasons and are used to the old challenge and reward system: the battle pass coins were designed in such a way that the total amount of rewards you get for “free” (as in by “just” playing) are the same within this new system. The primary change is that you can now choose which rewards you buy, giving you a bit more control.

Proximity chat

Proximity chat

“Proximity chat” is a new game option which limits chat during the day by allowing you to only communicate with players that are adjacent to you. This adds interesting new strategic elements, such that players in the center of the grid are more valuable due to their further communication reach or seers being unable to tell all players what they have seen. Credits to hypostein for bringing this to our attention!

Proximity chat will be enabled in the upcoming crazy game mode “Only us” and premium custom games.

New roles: lurker and wolf scribe

New roles

👀 Lurker: you are not part of any team and cannot win on your own. The first time you are attacked you will join the team of the attacker. Future attacks will kill you. You cannot be converted directly into a team using conversion abilities. Being lynched by the village will not convert you but will kill you directly instead.

📝 Wolf scribe: during the day, you can select a player to falsify their obituary. You can select a role and a kill cause for your target that will be shown if this player is killed during the night.

Both roles are available now and can be unlocked via cards.

Other stuff

  • Gem prices in the shop have been slightly increased to account for changing currencies and inflation.
  • Role icons in the inventory can be sorted
