Sheltered Update 6 Beta
We are excited to announce that we are testing a new Sheltered game mode, called “Surrounded” and that it is now live so that you can play and offer feedback!
Unfortunately the beta for Sheltered Update 6 will be only accessible via Windows PC. Update 6 will be ready for playing on Linux and OSX when it is officially released.
Can you keep a mother and son alive for 50 days during a continuous onslaught from a gang who want to take over the shelter?
Check out the new features exclusive to the Surrounded game mode:
- Learn to use the new medical Defibrillator.
- Enjoy this alternate wasteland with a new surface layout!
- Explore a new map with unique encounters during the father's expedition.
- An evolved combat system for shelter combat. Multiple breaching attackers can now be fought at once. Items can now be equipped and utilised in shelter combat too!
- Try the new system to track your resources. You can bookmark recipes to highlight the items you still need to make it! (This feature will also appear in the main Survival game).
This Beta will be granted to everyone so let’s see if you can survive for 50 days.
Unfortunately, there is no controller support for this Beta.
