Bohemia Interactive has announced the release of the new Ocean Odysseys update for its low-poly exploration game Ylands. Ylands is a free-to-play title and offers players classic survival elements like crafting, base building, sailing, and fighting. Ylands already has a big world for players to explore however with the release of the new Ocean Odysseys update, a whole new deep-sea aspect will arrive in the game as well.
Check out the new Ylands Ocean Odysseys trailer below before we jump into details:
Ocean Odysseys adds a new underwater world to the game with extra underwater terrain to explore, new underwater biotopes, five different shark types, and other fish. Players will have new devices to aid navigation as well. These additions along with the improved multiplayer mode, damageable ships, and a loot container, are the latest features to arrive in the game as part of the developer’s efforts to expand the game world.
Key features of the new Ocean Odysseys include:
- New underwater biotopes like kelp forests and glowing coral reefs
- Five types of sharks, along with tuna, clownfish, and jellyfish
- Improved spawning system and ability to see friends on the map
- Ships can suffer damage from other players and sink
- New depth meter, fuel meter, hull integrity meter, and more
- Entire inventory neatly contained in a loot box upon death
Ylands Project Lead Ales Ulm detailed:
For a long time, the seas in Ylands have offered bare, empty depths with an uninteresting seabed. This update changes that in a big way. Players will now be able to look for resources and enjoy gorgeous underwater life, both harmless and dangerous while exploring new depths.
Previously, Ylands received another map extension as well when the developer added larger maps with mysteries. Ylands is getting bigger and bigger with every update and the latest Ocean Odysseys expands the map in a new way as well.
