Launching 2 new game modes, Desolation and Desolation Horde.

In the free Desolation game mode, you are cast into a barren world devoid of any structures or non-player characters (NPCs). This survival-driven variant demands meticulous resource management to stay alive. Carefully managing your health and crafting abilities as they become paramount to your survival.

Desolation Horde is a paid DLC expansion that enhances the Desolation mode by introducing an ever increasing horde of enemies every 15 minutes, adding an element of constant danger and challenge.

Resources gather at a faster rate.
Horde AI are significantly more aggressive.
Skill point costs are half of what they are in the main game.

DLC's are NOT required, to complete the desolation achievements.
