Survive the Nights News — May 19, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
We’re just doing a quick check in. It's been a while since we’ve spoken so we wanted to put out a quick little post to showcase some ideas and ask for some input. We’ve been busy working on fixes and introducing an economy into the game for 1.4. Thanks for all the feedback over the last bunch of weeks. We’ve got some tickets to work on including vehicle fixes and more.
Traders
1.4 will introduce traders. We’ll be rolling the traders out in waves and making improvements based on your feedback. The initial release will feature trader outposts replacing the current container forts. The current currency will be a new cigarette drop. Seems like they would still hold some value after the apocalypse so why not? Traders will specialize in different offerings. Some will sell ammo, some will sell guns, some consumables and so on.
The .gif below is just the initial build and will likely change before release. Check it out and let us know what you think!
