It’s a Jungle Out There! Discover the Exciting New Update Coming to Stranded: Alien Dawn 

Alien Dawn: StrandedThis exciting update will take players into a new region: the Saltu area. This lush, untamed environment is the game’s most diverse and colorful biome yet, and will also introduce several challenges to test players’ survival strategies. We will examine the intriguing features and challenges of the new biome in this blog.  

Volatile weather patterns

Surviving survivors will be surrounded by tall trees, dense undergrowth and a plethora of wildlife. Navigation through the dense vegetation can be difficult due to reduced visibility. Saltu’s volatile weather patterns can also lead to sudden downpours which drench the landscape, thunderstorms with intense lightning strikes, and thick mists – all of which increase the difficulty for the survivors.  

The players will have to deal with heatwaves, humidity and oppressive temperatures. In order to survive extreme weather, you will have to be prepared. You may need to find shelter, make appropriate clothing, manage limited resources, and plan ahead. The ability of adapting and reacting quickly to changing weather patterns is crucial to survival.  

To survive in the Saltu area, you must be vigilant against tropical illnesses. Swarm Fever and Blood Infections are common illnesses that thrive in the humid climate. To counter these risks, players must be prepared, create medicinal remedies and look for natural treatment options. Xenoflora blight, on the other hand, can damage healthy crops and spread through them if it is not controlled, leaving your group with no harvest.  

Discover the local wildlife

Saltu has a diverse range of animals, including a number of unique species. The Jungle Update introduces a variety of new creatures, including the Noth, Shogu and other insectoids. These creatures are dangerous and players will have to learn how to live with them or else they’ll suffer the consequences.  

Haemimont games, our friends and the developers of Stranded: Alien Dawn have worked hard to create an Xbox experience that players will never forget. They said, “Players can venture deep into the untamed heart of Saltu, a lush jungle region teeming with exotic wildlife and botanical wonders. Prepare to conquer the untold challenges of survival amidst the captivating allure of new creatures and flora.”

They also had an insider tip for surviving in the new region: “Keep a keen eye out for Purpleleaf, a remarkable source of construction materials. While not suitable for direct consumption, its transformative properties shine when it comes to crafting delectable kimchi.”  

Accept challenges, be prepared for the unknown and set out on a thrilling adventure. The ultimate challenge is to survive in an alien environment.
