Vigor Chronicles: Bloodline – Season 21

Hei Outlanders,

Since the launch of our Eikevjen map, there’s been strange occurrences in the Outlands…

Ominous whispers and eerie chants echo through the fog, while shadowy figures lurk in the forests. Around Eikevjen's ancient tree, dark rituals are taking place - held by a cult that has risen from the irradiated soil. They claim to embrace the "old ways," but Outlanders are resisting this corrupted vision, rediscovering their roots and rebuilding a stronger community in the Outlands.

In Vigor: Bloodline you'll decide where your loyalty lies as you play alongside other Outlanders on console, make your enemies bleed with new Laceration effects, and grind for greater rewards with the Donation Hub Shelter upgrade.

Praise the Old Ways in Bloodline!

This Season’s Battle Pass is all about duality. Some Outlanders are returning to their roots with rugged lumberjack aesthetics, while others are diving into darker rites with sinister cultist gear. Will you side with the cultists or join the old-school Outlanders? Let us know where you stand on our socials!

Plus, for those asking for more feminine Cosmetics, we’ve got you covered - flower crowns are making their way to the Outlands. Just don’t let the bloodstains ruin them...

United by Blood - Console Crossplay

Console crossplay is arriving this Season! We’ve heard your feedback, and we’re excited to bring this highly requested feature to the game. Now Outlanders on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch can face off in all game modes. With crossplay, players on console can expect reduced matchmaking wait times and more varied competition across the Outlands.

We’re not stopping there though, as next year we’ll be exploring PC crossplay and the possibility of teaming up with friends on different consoles, so stay tuned!

Blood Offerings - Donation Hub

You can look forward to some exciting new Shelter changes with the reworked Charity Box, now called the Donation Hub. Here you can donate food, materials and resources during weekly donation cycles. What you donate gets converted into Gratitude, and the higher your Gratitude, the greater your reward! This includes the new Donation Crate, which has a high chance of dropping Crafting Plans you don't already own, as well as Booster Tickets and Special Issue Crates.

You’ll also compete on new Leaderboards to show just how generous you can be, perfect for Outlanders who prefer looting over shooting and want to leave their mark in the Outlands!

Make 'em Bleed - Laceration Effects

In this update, we're turning up the pressure with a brand-new damage type: Laceration! Now, when you wound enemies with Bear Traps, Knives or Crossbows, they'll suffer from the Bleeding condition, taking damage over time until they either die or bandage the wound. Bleeding comes in three intensity levels based on the severity of the Laceration, adding an extra survival element to your gameplay.
