The Repopulation To Add First Phase Of New Tutorial Island At The Start Of The Year

the repopulation tutorial island bannerEarlier this month, indie-developer IF Studios revealed the details of a new tutorial zone called the Island coming to their in-development sci-fi sandbox MMORPG, The Repopulation. The island was supposed to roll out within the month but was continually delayed as the developers hit one issue after another.

The studio now says that they’re ready to roll out the first phase of the island with the upcoming holiday patch. The patch goes live on January 1st and will feature basic content for the island including old missions that have partly been updated for use with the new tutorial system. “The flow will feel a bit splintered at this moment,” warns the studio. “This is because we are using the old current missions in the game with some adjustments. Expect the missions to change and adjust with each subsequent update until we do have the new systems and missions in the game.”

New missions will be added in the future along with a Modular UI, an Inventory and Container system, and the option to choose between different Nations and Factions. The end result will be choosing your Nation once you finish your basic training on the Island,” says FI Studios. “There will be additional optional content if you wish to complete, but you will choose your Nation before leaving the island instead of at character creation.”
