Farlight 84 is getting a second life—and it’s bigger, bolder, and faster than ever. What began as a routine update has evolved into a full-scale relaunch and rebrand of the hero-based battle royale shooter. Set to drop on August 7, 2025, this game-changing update marks the most ambitious shift in the title’s history.
Farlight Games has poured over $140 million into reinventing the experience from the ground up. From a brand-new first-person mode to revamped graphics, new maps, and game mechanics, this relaunch transforms Farlight 84 into a truly next-gen mobile and PC shooter.
What’s New in the August 7 Update?
The August update isn’t just a patch—it’s a total reinvention. Here’s what you can expect when you jump into the new Farlight 84:
🔫 First-Person Mode Debuts
For the first time ever, Farlight 84 introduces first-person mode, bringing an immersive, adrenaline-fueled perspective to every skirmish. Combined with refined visuals and streamlined controls, it’s a visceral way to experience the chaos up close.
🐾 Buddy System 2.0
The fan-favorite Buddy System returns with major upgrades. Players can now collect and deploy “Super Buddies”, each with unique battlefield abilities—from invisibility and stealthy thefts to terrain manipulation and support roles.
🗺️ New Map: Nextara
The battlefield expands with Nextara, a brand-new map designed with verticality and fast traversal in mind. Expect high-rise battles, rooftop parkour, and dynamic urban warfare.
🧍 New Hero: Kui Dou
Meet Kui Dou, the newest playable hero to join the roster. With unique abilities that synergize with Buddies and complement diverse team comps, Kui Dou brings tactical depth to your squad’s playstyle.
💥 Weapons and Loadouts
A complete overhaul of the weapon system allows for hundreds of tactical combinations. Whether you’re a sniper, shotgunner, or SMG fan, you’ll find the tools to customize your ultimate loadout.
