Hey Tribe, Here is the first small patch in over a year. We hope you like the changes as much as we liked working on them! You might wonder why it took us so long, but that is a longer story for another day.Due to our friends at Starbreeze (who were the publisher until recently) we got the publishing rights back a few month ago. We are of course very excited about that and grateful for all their efforts over the last years. Thanks again SBZ! While we can’t promise too much right now, we hope we can ship more of these small patches over the next months, to make use of all the feedback we have g

A long and hot summer needs it's cooldown periods. A perfect opportunity to dive into the darkness of The Tribe Must Survive. To help you guys prevail, we've joined the Swedish Midsummer Sale, where our hardcore colony survivor is now on 30% off. If you have it already and love to save tribe members, tell a friend to snag it before they die of dehydration in the sun!

Tired of summer? We've got something that will refill your need for the sun to rise. The Tribe Must Survive, our Lovecraft-inspired colony survival is now 30% off! Just two weeks ago we launched the Explorer Update, adding a more relaxed game mode that lets you take on the darkness at your own pace. In addition we added 15 new achievements, many of them focusing on what the community has named the "Impossible Strategies", seemingly contradictory ways of completing the game that only the most skilled players would dare to try. If you already part of the game's community, this is the perfect opp

Tribe Leaders, We seriously consider all the feedback we receive when planning our updates. Much of the feedback we have gotten since launch was about the game being too hard and sometimes even frustrating for new players. At the same time we also see that there are a number of players that have become incredibly good at the game, to the point where they have beaten all Challenge Levels and Achievements, and have Tribes with hundreds of Members and thousands of resources. So we decided that with today’s Explorer Update we should make the game both easier and harder! To achieve these mildly par

Tribe Leaders, As your tribe members eagerly await the dawn, we wait with bated breath for the full release of The Tribe Must Survive. While we endure that wait, we have a new update to improve your tribal life. This update will have added some difficulty into the game, but we have also focused on better-explaining systems and features, making the game more fair and intuitive. New Fear and Fire settings make related mechanics more fun to play. You can speed up the removal of Shock from tribe members, if you can afford the wood.
