Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

The survival game Raft is not only known for being a relatively easy-going representative of the genre, but is also one of the most popular games of its kind. Now the game is finally “finished” and is getting its biggest update so far. We at MeinMMO summarize.

What kind of game is this? The survival adventure Raft started on May 23, 2018 in Early Access on Steam. Since then, it has continued to receive new updates and has become increasingly popular among fans. Of the current 148,119 user reviews, a whopping 93% are positive, which puts it in the ranks of the most popular survival games on the platform.

You start in Raft with nothing and you have to build a life from there and if possible not die. Animals and even sharks pose a danger to you, because you spend a large part of your playing time on the eponymous raft.

You can always build up this raft and turn it into your floating base, with which you can move through the world and take care of yourself. The graphic style of Raft is colorful and inviting and exudes a little calm.

My colleague Maik Schneider explained what makes the game so good.

Raft is finally getting ready

What does the new update bring? With the update “The Final Chapter” on June 20th, the game is now introducing the last chapter and is finally finished after more than 4 years in Early Access. According to the developers, this is actually the biggest update they’ve ever made.

There are numerous new features and an end to the story of the survival game that fans have been waiting for for a long time. There is also the following new content:

  • New locations, including a city under water, a village in the snow, and a high-tech city in a dome, and even skyscrapers
  • New playable characters
  • Lots of new Quality of Life improvements
  • New enemy types

    • Otherwise, you can just expect more of what made the game great before.

    Is Raft leaving Early Access? Although the update completes the story and brings many new features, it is currently not known whether the survival game will also leave Early Access on Steam. It is conceivable, but not yet officially confirmed.

    The fans are already loving the update

    How is the mood in the community? Try as you might, you won’t find any negative comments under the update announcement. Fans are looking forward to the grand finale of their raft adventure and can’t wait to explore the new environments.

    So the atmosphere is consistently positive and the new locations and developers in particular are constantly being praised in the comments. People look forward to getting back into the game and having something new to do again.

    What are the players saying? We’d also like to echo some of the comments you can find below the announcement trailer on YouTube:

  • N0T_NOVA writes: “I’m so hyped! Raft is an amazing game with a cool narrative and a great progression system. One of the best games to play with friends.”
  • Matt Voelker writes, “I started way back when the radio tower was the end of the story. It’s been a long road and a fun outing. It’s always nice to see that a game that you initially gave it a chance makes it to the end. It feels like I bet on the right horse.”
  • OPolo704 says: “Let’s go! Raft is one of the best experiences I’ve had with video games. I’m so excited for the final chapter and will grind it so hard!”
