Farlight 84 is undergoing its most significant transformation yet, with a global relaunch scheduled for August 7th. Originally released in 2023, the game will receive its largest-ever update, featuring a complete overhaul.
Massive Changes Coming to Farlight 84
Backed by six years of development and over $140 million in funding from Farlight Games, this update introduces groundbreaking additions. Read on to discover what's new in the revamped Farlight 84.
First-Person Mode and Visual Upgrades
The update introduces a long-awaited first-person perspective, complementing the existing third-person view. Enhanced graphics and refined controls accompany this new gameplay option.
Revamped Buddy System 2.0
The signature Buddy System—Farlight 84's unique blend of creature collecting and combat—has been completely redesigned. The new version introduces Super Buddies, powerful allies that provide strategic advantages during matches, from gear theft to terrain manipulation.
