Outlaws,

this update is a big one.

With the latest update for Dreadmark Outlaws, we’re not only adding new content, but also laying the technical foundation for what’s coming next.

A brand-new map is now available.

Explore a fresh environment filled with atmosphere, new routes, and tactical opportunities. Whether you prefer solo, co-op, or PvP — this map will challenge you in new ways.

We’ve made major performance improvements across all maps:

• Optimized GameThread

• Reduced draw calls and CPU load

• Improved frame pacing stability

• Optimizations for lower-end systems & Steam Deck

In addition, we’ve now implemented a Screen Space option.

👉 If you experience performance issues with Lumen, you can switch to Screen Space and still maintain solid visual quality — with significantly better performance.

And we’re not stopping here — performance will remain a core focus going forward.

The undead are evolving.

New zombie variants are now part of the game — each with unique behavior and increased danger. Stay alert… or get overwhelmed.

A new defensive option is now available:

Tesla Tower

• Deals electric damage

• Especially effective against fast enemies

• Adds new tactical options to your defense

Perfect for holding chokepoints when things get intense.

This update also includes important technical improvements under the hood.

These changes lay the foundation for our upcoming Destruction Update, which will bring significantly more chaos to the battlefield.

This update pushes Dreadmark Outlaws forward in a big way — both in gameplay and technical quality.

We will continue improving performance, adding new content, and preparing bigger features.

👉 Jump in, try everything out, and let us know your feedback!
