Farlight 84 Relaunches Globally with Major Rebrand

Farlight 84 is undergoing its most significant transformation yet with a complete global relaunch scheduled for August 7th. Since its 2023 debut, the game has been completely reimagined for this monumental update - the largest in its history.

Farlight 84 Reloaded: Six Years and $140 Million in Development

Farlight Games has invested over six years of development and $140 million into reinventing Farlight 84. Continue reading to discover all the groundbreaking changes coming to the battle royale experience.

A Completely Transformed Game Experience

The relaunch introduces a brand-new first-person perspective, replacing the game's previous third-person only view. This comes alongside enhanced graphical fidelity and significantly refined controls.

Perhaps the most unique feature, the Buddy System, receives a complete overhaul. This signature mechanic blends creature collection with intense firefights for a truly distinctive gameplay element.

Next-Level Buddy System 2.0

The upgraded Buddy System introduces new companions along with an elite "Super Buddies" tier. These AI partners now provide active combat assistance with special abilities including gear theft and battlefield manipulation.

New Battlefield: Nextara Map

The redesigned Nextara map fully leverages the dynamic parkour combat system. Movement mechanics remain central to gameplay, with enhanced opportunities for sprinting, vaulting, and climbing across more vertically designed terrain.

Fresh Combat Elements

New hero Kui Dou joins the roster, adding strategic depth to the 60-player battles. The update also delivers reworked weaponry and loadout systems enabling hundreds of customized combat configurations.

Among the more unconventional additions is the hilarious Rat Cannon - a mobility tool that literally launches players across the map. Its ridiculous functionality matches its comical appearance.

Enhanced Gunplay Mechanics

Weapon handling receives significant refinement, with 17 interconnected systems delivering realistic impact feedback. Get your first look at the game's transformation in the official reveal trailer below.
