First off, we wanted to surprise and excite you with the Soča Valley announcement but in the future we’ll make sure to better communicate what to expect leading up to the announcement (type of content, pricing, release date).
We’ve also alluded to this in the past but in order to be more transparent we’d like to announce that we’re working on multiplayer and have been for a while! This was our most requested feature and also the most challenging one, that’s why it’s been taking longer than we expected. Ideally we’d have shipped this as a big free update next to the DLC but unfortunately we couldn’t make that happen and didn’t want to hold back the DLC when it’s done and ready to go. We can’t give you a firm release date yet but we’ll try and keep you posted on our progress. This will be 2 player multiplayer with both players in their own kayak, at least for now, as adding more players will complicate things significantly and you’ve been waiting for a while 😉
We’re also in the early stages of development of another DLC environment! I Not much to share beyond that but it’s shaping up nicely and we look forward to showing it off in the future.
We’re also taking a critical look at our roadmap, its initial goal for us was mainly to collect feedback on ideas we had but it hasn’t provided much information to the community. We’d like to change that by reworking the roadmap to be more transparent and clear on what we’re working on. In the meantime keep sharing what you’d like to see as that’s still valuable information to us!
Kayak VR: Mirage
- Added the option to turn off the new Upper Body feature (found under general settings)
- Added experimental support for telemetry, looking forward to seeing this in action!
- Fixed night sky in Costa Rica being too bright
- Fixed players being able to go out of bounds
- Fixed "spot the" achievements not unlocking
- Fixed penguins behavior in Antarctica
- Fixed missing start positions for Costa Rica in tour mode
Soča Valley
- Tweaked LODs to reduce noticeable popping and increase visual quality
- Tweaked daytime exposure to brighten up some dark areas
- Fixed Tour mode routes getting stuck in some instances
- Added more fishes
- Fixed crowd near the town not always clapping
- Lowered the amount of birds high in the sky
- We updated some textures in King’s Canyon from 4k to 8k. If your texture settings are set to cinematic you should see a nice little boost in sharpness.
- You can now use the shop anywhere, no more going to the pool just to check out your new kayak skin.
- A crash reporter has been added to the game so it’s possible to send us logs of the crash with the press of a button. We’re pretty content with the overall stability of the game but these reports might help us track down some nasty bugs / crashes in the future as well. As a small note, it might seem like the report is being sent to Epic but it’s actually going to us. We might give the crash reporter a fresh coat of paint in the future to distinguish it a little more.
- Some text was getting cut off during the tutorial in certain languages, this should be fixed now.
- Fixed an edge-case where the on-screen menu could get culled if your headset was not looking at the in-game menu.
-We’ve made some changes to our back-end, related to leaderboard scores. If you notice any issues like your times not being uploaded please let us know.
- More tweaks to the German, Korean and Japanese localization. Thank you to @ReadyPlayer0815 for helping out with some changes to the German one. We’ve reverted the Korean localization as it seems our old one was actually better, thank you @biluderen.

- Added professional translations for Chinese, Korean and Japanese, we expect these to be a lot better than our previous translations but if you see things you think are wrong please keep letting us know in the translations channel on Discord.
- Fixed up some wonky translations in German, thank you to @thunfischbaum @ReadyPlayer0815 and @Tino for your help with the german translations.
- Fixed up some minor visual mistakes in the Costa Rica level (this ballooned the filesize of the update a bit, sorry!)
- There's now a way to select languages when starting up the game outside of Steam. Although we still recommend launching the game through Steam to make sure you can get achievements, correct username in leaderboards and the correct language.
