(I tried keeping it short I swear)Heyho PANICORE enjoyers! 📢1.4 is live. This is the biggest update we've ever pushed, and most of it went into the two things you've complained about the longest: the entity AI and the voice chat. Both were rewritten from scratch, not patched. With this update, we're preparing things for two more planned major updates.The highlights:New entity AI. Rewritten from scratch. The entities behave sharper and far more consistent: better at reading their surroundings, better at staying on you, and each with its own way of perceiving the world. Every difficulty step no

Heyho PANICORE enjoyers! This year didn't have a lot going on in terms of updates, but the upcoming months will change that a lot!We're starting today with the new entity AI and the new voice chat system being available in the public beta. Both of them ended up being full rewrites instead of just patches. That alone took us months while working on the new map as well (which will also feature new mechanics).Please feel free to keep reporting bugs, we've been trying to tackle the most common problems and fix them with this update and if there is more to fix, we will fix it. Of course this versio

Hey PANICORE enjoyers! First of all thank you for the interest you're showing during the summer sale, we're really happy to see PANICORE still has a name in the indie horror game genre, it means a lot c: ❤️ We wanted to let you know about upcoming updates during the summer months which will include the previously mentioned new map. However, before releasing the map, we wanted to take care of the main complaints of our playerbase: entity AI and Voice Chat; so we're taking our time to improve both. Our plan is to do this in two update phases:Mid to End of July: Patch in the improved voice chat a

Hey everyone!Just a very small announcement: we're scheduling a small patch for the upcoming weekend (17th or 18 of this month).The patch will solve a huge performance problem in the lobby. We figured that the leaderboard becoming bigger and bigger is causing a big problem. The leaderboard will only show the top 100 and your own rank until we patch a more optimized version of it! Sorry for the inconvenience, we hope you're having fun with the new map!EDIT: Play the public beta for earlier access to this update!Upcoming patch notes: Panicore Release Version 1.2.0.2Additions:Added F1 as a key to

Panicore Release Version 1.2.0.1 Bugfixes: Fixed a bug where some files couldn't be collected on the Military Map (I wish we could at least once do an update where everything works)
2025-10-02 18:08 UTC · Community Announcements · MysteryLol
Major Update 1.2 is here!We're happy to announce that after a few weeks of beta testing the Military Base map is ready for full release! The map comes with an entity that has different mechanics than the ones you know. This updates's development cost us a lot more time due to a few factors influencing our development: First, you'll notice the map is different than the others, it was harder to fill it up with tasks and stuff to search/find. The map started out absolutely huge, but shrinked in size. We needed some time to figure out that a bigger map doesn't automatically mean bigger fun. The se
