7 Days to Die: A Deep Dive into the Upcoming Patches – Storms Brewing and Beyond!

Okay, buckle up, wasteland wanderers, because the devs of 7 Days to Die just dropped a truckload of info on the upcoming patches and, let’s be real, it’s a mixed bag of “hell yeah” and “are you serious?” So, grab your coffee, maybe a beer, and let’s dive into the nitty-gritty. We’re talking updates 1.2, 1.3, and the big daddy of them all, 2.0 – the “Storms Brewing” update. Let’s get the boring stuff out of the way first.

The Teaser: 2.0 – Storms Brewing

First off, 2.0. Yeah, the one we’ve all been waiting for, the one that was supposed to drop, like, yesterday. Turns out, the devs were a little too optimistic with their initial estimates. December? Hah! Try Quarter 1 of 2025. Classic. They’ve pushed it back, but hey, at least they’re owning up to their blunder. What’s in it, you ask? Well, plenty, let’s go over it.

Weather or Not

First up, a brand spanking new weather survival system. Now, if you’ve been playing 7 Days for a while, you know the environment is basically a wet noodle right now. Clothing? Doesn’t matter. Biomes? Just different colored pixels. In 1.0, they jacked up the clothing mechanics, making any protection good enough that environmental effects just… vanished. But now? Oh, it’s gonna matter. This new system is supposed to bring the hurt, with unique damage, remedies, and challenges per biome. Color me intrigued, and cautiously optimistic. I’m just hoping it’s not just going back to the old system with a new paint job. The “remedies” part sounds spicy, though. New items? We haven’t had any legit new items since… what… the armor crafting kit? And that’s just a green repair kit with a fancy name! New challenges better mean something more than just a menu pop up! I want to be pushed to my limit.

Crossplay? Finally!

Crossplay on dedicated servers, finally! The console players can rejoice, or whatever it is they do. This means you can stop pestering your PC buddies to play with you… or vice-versa. Good for them, I guess. As long as they don’t bring their console aim to my server, we’re good.

Advanced New Radiated Game Staged Zombie Enemies

Okay, this is where things get weird.
