ABYSS is out

After months below the surface, ABYSS is live in Fortnite. Grab a crew and take the MULE down.

We published it. ABYSS is live in Fortnite, free for everyone.

This one took a long time and a lot of late nights from Key, QP and me, and a lot of help from the people in our credits. It's the biggest thing we've made as OUCH, and we're really proud of it.

A few things to know before your first dive:

  • Your crew's first dive is a training dive. Use it to learn the MULE.
  • Every creature punishes one habit. The creature files tell you which, if you want to know.
  • Every three days the Repair Bill comes due. Don't spend everything.

If something breaks, feels unfair or you just want to tell us how you died, come say hi on Discord. We read everything, and the first updates are already on the way.

See you down there.
