Fallen Earth gets a visual facelift

Filed under: Sci-fi, Fallen Earth, News items

Fallen Earth is a massively game that's been in development for some time now, although that's not entirely unheard of for the massively genre. When a game has been in development for as long as Fallen Earth has, sometimes the graphics it started with just don't seem to cut it anymore. Well, this problem is something the FE team is in the process of fixing. Not only have we been given some examples of these new improvements, but we've also gotten a bit of an informational update as well.


The update seems much needed since no matter which way you slice it, many players will judge at game based on its visuals. By visuals we don't mean just the level of detail in a character model, but the level of aesthetics a game is able to produce for its players as well. We like to think style over substance is what truly matters, especially when your style is post-apocalyptic -- and sometimes a graphical push can help bring that style forward.

Updated graphics are very awesome, to be sure -- yet that's not the only thing the Fallen Earth update has us excited about. Aside from the visual update, we're most excited about the confirmation of player created throw-able explosives such as molotov cocktails and pipebombs. Then again if rocket launchers make it into the game we'll have a reason to get even more excited, because honestly, what's not to love about explosions?
