Season 6 - 2 May 2025
Hello everyone!
We think it is time for an announcement and a look behind the scenes regarding the work that has been put into Season 6 and what has caused all the delays and lack of communication. We will start with a summarization of what has happened until now, followed by the final plan of what is to come.
After Season 5, we felt like the game was becoming too stale and predictable for many people, which resulted in either faster burnout or a lower rate of retention. With that, we knew we had to make some major systematic changes to combat these issues, while also keeping the general style of what everyone knows as CW Flyff intact. Our initial plans were drafted and seemed good enough for an “early 2024” release. But after having worked on it and tested it, it did not feel like our changes hit the mark. They felt too custom and way out of line of what people expect the Flyff experience to be, especially on CW Flyff. So we made the executive decision to delay the launch to a later date, namely summer 2024, to re-work the design of Season 6. As many of you might have noticed, summer came and went, with no Season 6 release in sight. Unfortunately, due to the inherent flaws of our ideas and implementation, we were not able to salvage the initially planned changes, leaving us empty-handed with nothing to show. This failing on our part, combined with problems that Vladi and I had to deal with in our real lives (which we as private people do not wish to divulge), had demotivated us quite significantly, so we put the work on the game on hold until January 2025.
With today's announcement, we wanted to share our experience up until this point with you, as we believe you are entitled to after such a long time of waiting.
With that done, we are announcing that the bad times are over. Work on Season 6 is in full force, and we are excited to announce that Season 6 will launch Friday, 2 May 2025 18:00 UTC+1
Truthfully, this date is later than what we believe we can be done at, but we also know that some high profile releases are happening in the month of April, so we did not want to force people to decide between a new game release and Season 6.
Some small teasers of what you can expect with Season 6 are a majorly overhauled farming, leveling and dungeon experience, more competitive game modes, both PvP and PvE, deeper class specialization options with more relaxed requirements, especially for our PvP players, as well as an overhaul of old systems that have not stood the test of time.
More concrete teasers and reveals will happen a week or two before the final release, just like you are used from previous Seasons. We will also patch some of the more fundamental changes before the Season 6 release to ensure their proper stability. We hope you are as excited as we are and will find yourselves in-game overcoming the new challenges we have in store for you!
