‘Survival: Fountain of Youth’ Boards a Spanish Vessel, Sets Course for 1.0 May 21

1.0 adds new region, quality of life updates, and other features

LOS ANGELES – April 15, 2024 – Survival: Fountain of Youth pulls into port for 1.0 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The 1.0 launch will debut a host of new content also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S when the single-player management survival game set in the 16th-century Caribbean islands from developer Odinsoft and publisher Twin Sails Interactive docks onto consoles later in 2024.

The 1.0 update will add the fifth and final region of Bimini Island, a new ship, and the final boss battle. Alongside today’s announcement, new quality of life updates have been implemented including a new save system, home furniture, improved tutorial, and other features.

The legendary expedition of Juan Ponce de Leon leads to the shores of a mysterious collection of Caribbean islands, the rumored home of the Fountain of Youth. Treacherous storms leave the crew shipwrecked and scattered. Use skill and wit to establish a base of operations, craft tools, manage resources, battle wildlife, and uncover the mysteries of the mythical Fountain of Youth.

Traverse the islands with sea-faring ships and explore crumbling cliffsides to underwater temples, each offering distinct flora and fauna to identify and harvest. Collect materials to craft and upgrade tools, weapons, clothing, structures, and traps. Hunt down animals inhabiting the nearby regions from docile crabs, chickens, agouti, to dangerous jackals, jaguars, and pumas.

The teams at Odinsoft and Twin Sails have incorporated early access explorers feedback. Save progress whenever, no longer restricted by autosaves or upon exiting the title. New furniture has been added to craft and to spruce up island bases, alongside naval themed decor with the ‘Sea Wolf Pack’ DLC.  

Survivalists can expect the new region of Bimini Island, a new ship that doubles as a fully mobile base called the Ark, and a final boss with far greater killing capabilities than any of the island’s wildlife. Also accompanied by new quests, skill books, survival tasks, recipes, and the epic conclusion surrounding the Fountain of Youth when 1.0 launches.

“As huge fans of survival games, the team has passionately spent countless painstaking hours crafting a one-of-a-kind experience for other fans of the genre,” said Stas Kotrutsa, Development Lead, Odinsoft. “We have learned so much throughout early access, taken the community’s input into consideration, and are happy to share our work with the full 1.0 release.”

Survival: Fountain of Youth is available now on PC via Steam Early Access for $22.99 USD with a 25% discount, raising to $27.99 USD on April 19. 1.0 will launch simultaneously on Steam and Epic Games Store on Tuesday, May 21, with plans for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year. It features Japanese, Spanish (Spain), English, French, German, Russian, and Simplified Chinese-language support, including Korean, Portuguese(Brazil), and Traditional Chinese alongside 1.0’s launch.

The home of this eerie roguelike adventure is Mistville — a once quaint town now engulfed by a mysterious fog. Encountering Mistville Residents, players put themselves at risk of infection as they step into the Netherrealm. Once their roguelike adventure is complete, Mistville holds plenty more secrets to uncover.

Treading these cobbled streets not as hunters, but as detectives, players can use lanterns to navigate and manage their Sanity while uncovering hidden secrets within the bones of this nightmarish town. They can throw open the doors of the Sanatorium, but beware, Mist Monsters lay in wait.

Clock Tower challenges offer rewards and Activation Mediums, triggering new abilities and synergies with skills. With enhanced Deduction Records and Activation Mediums, players delve deeper into Mistville’s mysteries, while adjustments to skill slots and legendary gear offer strategic depth. Resistance changes and new Ember types provide further customization, promising an exhilarating journey into the mind-bending depths of Mistville.

By unlocking the Golden Season Pass, hunters can gain access to all heroes in the current season. This includes permanent usage rights of Erika’s new hero trait – Lightning Shadow, advanced auto loot, exclusive portrait frames, new teleport effects, and new back accessories will also be unlocked as progress is made.

Exciting Gameplay Updates

This season introduces the Divine Might Trials, a brand new endgame mode. Players must collect Divine Might Emblems from the Six Gods before entering into these deadly trials to prove their worth. Upon completion, players are rewarded with Divine Might Luminous Stones, used to exchange for valuable items at the Spacetime Wanderer’s [Gifts from the Gods]. The Heartless Bounty content is integrated into these rewards, replacing the Desire Bead from the Evil Desire Cube.
