Greetings, Brother and Sisters!

We’re back! Elastic Games is proud to present Last Year version 1.0.19! If you do not see the prompt to update, you may need to restart your Steam client.

With Patch 1.0.19, we’ve made major improvements to your Last Year experience:

1) BRAND NEW MAP: Last Year 1.0.19’s major feature is The Mine map! The second of the Afterdark Forest trilogy of maps, The Mine continues the adventure started in The Sawmill as the Classmates continue to try to find the origin of The Spider and its army of cryptids by finding a way through the abandoned Mine in the forest. Break into the Mine, climb it heights, and run for your life to escape!

2) FIEND WEAPON LOCKER: 1.0.19 adds brand new skins that can be equipped to the Fiends’ arsenals! Skins for Bear Traps, The Slasher’s Axe, The Giant’s Shackles, The Strangler’s Chain, and The Spider’s Venom now allow you to customize your Fiend even more. Purchase them with Cards, Ore, and grind in game to unlock the awesome new Legendary skins!

3) 3D HEALTH BARS: Tired of not knowing exactly WHOSE ass you’re kicking? New 3D health bars make damage dealt that much easier to understand. Visible on Fiends, Classmates, Cryptids, and Nests, this feature makes the action in Last Year much clearer.

We’ve also made a few balance changes and bug fixes. While they are very numerous and subtle, here are some of the bigger, more noticeable changes we’ve made:

- Flamethrower now deals its damage much more rapidly
- Strangler’s Chain aim responsiveness has been improved

There are a few known issues, which we’ll be aiming to repair in the coming days, along with anything major flagged by the community:

- Objectives in Tab Screen of The Mine are incorrect
- Helmets incorrectly display partial health when crafted
- New Mystery Weapon missing from The Mine (our bad! Coming very, VERY soon…)
- Bear Trap skins not visible to Classmates
- Fiend Weapon Skins not visible in Home/Lobby/Fiend Deck screens
- Sometimes, VFX for The Wall or The Giants’ Shackles can be seen by other players while Spawned Out. WORKAROUND: Spawn in and out again.

We’ll be monitoring the community to ensure these changes and fixes are working and being well received.

Thank you all again for the continued support of this title, and your faith in this dev team. We’re all working very hard to bring you the best Last Year experience possible! We can’t wait to show you what our final, major update for Chapter 1 in August will be, so stay tuned to this channel for more news soon!

See you in The Nightmare!

Unitas,
Brother Justin
