Tharis Island is riddled with caves, which are equally riddled with monsters. Devs Yager say that it’s worth sucking it up and heading inside though, because the caves contain “the most lucrative prospecting” on The Cycle: Frontier’s world of Fortuna III. Oh, and there’s something secretive and hidden down there too – an alien artefact that’ll “change prospecting forever”. Also in the update are new loot, refreshed cosmetics, an updated battle pass, and a mysterious addition to the endgame for player customisation.

Ollie named The Cycle: Frontier as one of hisfavourite PC games of 2022 so far. “These maps are absolutely gorgeous – overgrown with vibrant flora, and with enough elevation to make the areas look like real natural places rather than arenas,” he said. “And then you add the dense, moody fogs and the absolutely gorgeous rain which solidifies into torrential thunderstorms that force you to cower inside buildings until they pass. I’ve never known a game to be so tense and so beautiful at the same time.”
