Map releases, new creatures, and the Community Crunch cadence tracking tames, breeding, and balance.

The claws are almost ready, Survivors. We’ve already shown you a more expressive Therizinosaurus in the wild, and how tamed Therizinos will begin to reflect the harvesting roles they play within your tribe. But we haven’t talked about how those changes will feel once…

Astraeos reaches 1.0 with Heaven and the Abyss: a floating-island region, a deep-sea map with air-bubble build space, rolling wave mechanics, the Trireme warship, two Kraken boss fights and the Colossus and Kroaratos minibosses.
For your guild
Underwater build space and working seas move a tribe's base decisions off land, and the Trireme needs a crew rather than a rider. The two Kraken fights want different kit: one is underwater, one at the surface.
Community Crunch 518 opens with Giganotosaurus TLC concept art, dates Genesis Part 1 transfers for September 4 with the Expires servers closing September 18, and runs bonus official rates through August 10.
For your guild
The dates are the job. A tribe on Genesis Expires servers has September 4 to 18 to move creatures and items off, and the bonus rates through August 10 make this the weekend to schedule taming and breeding.
The Therizinosaurus gets the TLC treatment voted for at Extra Life: combat responsiveness, controls and traversal all change, wild ones now telegraph before they charge, and no two look quite alike.
For your guild
This is more than a reskin. If your tribe leans on Therizinos for harvesting, expect them to handle differently, and expect wild ones to be readable enough that fewer members die walking past them.
