Farlight 84 Philippines Summit 2023: Long-Term Roadmap, New Hero and Anti-Cheat System

The Farlight 84 Philippines Summit 2023 has recently concluded, unveiling an exciting roadmap that includes a fresh new map, a Filipino Hero, and various plans for the game's Esports sector, including a console release in 2024. Let's dive deeper into what the future holds for Farlight 84.

New Map Coming Soon

The new map is expected to go live by the end of the year. Although the specifics are still under wraps, the developers have teased an entirely new Farlight 84 experience. The shared image suggests a lush mountainous terrain, riddled with zip lines and vibrant orange landscapes.

New Hero and Revamps

A Filipino hero, embodying a lively rock star spirit and a supportive role, is set to join the game in October. The hero's presentation and accompanying video suggest a musical theme, raising speculations about potential connections to Filipino music.

This new addition is accompanied by a revamp of five existing heroes, along with a new hero skin crafted exclusively for fans in the Philippines. This feature is expected to enhance the gameplay experience, but the details remain undisclosed.

Anti-Cheat System

In response to player feedback, a refurbished Anti-Cheat System is being implemented. This three-tiered system includes automatic bans, player reporting, and data checks to detect and deal with irregularities.

The developers are also refining the matchmaking process and considering IP bans to ensure fair play. Their dedication to this cause is evident in the 44,000 cheat attempts they've banned within the past year.

Regular Updates

Starting next year, a new Hero will join the Farlight 84 roster monthly, complemented by seasonal Battle Pass skins. Every six months, players can look forward to new maps, weapons, modes, and vehicles.

Console Release

Farlight 84 is set to expand onto the Nintendo Switch later this year, and onto the PS5 and Xbox in 2024. With 30 million registered users worldwide, and 1 million players from the Philippines alone, the game's expansion onto new platforms is a significant milestone.

Farlight Games plans to invest over $20 million in the Philippines over the next five years, making the future of Farlight 84 even brighter. With the roadmap they have laid out, it's clear that the game's player base is set to grow in the years to come.
