Good day, fighters!

The “Lunar New Year” event has begun in the world of Will To Live Online, which means new adventures await you!


The mysterious The Old Man in white robes has once again appeared near Solnechny. But this time, he needs your help!

A small village where his loved ones live is under attack by reckless bandit thugs. If no one stands up to defend it, the settlement will be looted and many innocent residents will suffer.

Head to the village and hold the line until the onslaught of the thugs weakens. For a successful defense, you may receive a special item - a Gray Gunman Jacket, as well as a premium “Dragon” paint spray that can be applied to a wide range of weapons, including modified ones.

The Gunman Jackets have stats similar to the Ride Or Die vests, with one key difference - these jackets also protect your arms.

Only 10 fighters can take part in the village defense at a time (the event is quite demanding), and you will be able to attempt this challenge again every 4 hours.

The Spirits of the Elements quests are still available. As before, the Old Man asks you to appease the Spirits by launching fireworks in their honor at night. You will need to gather fillers and other components to craft fireworks: the crafting recipe becomes available in your inventory once you accept the quest. These components can be obtained in the usual ways: by completing quests, killing monsters, and finishing events. They can also be earned through the successful defense of the village. Occasionally, you may find sky lanterns, which can be launched into the sky as a festive decoration.

The event runs from February 16 to March 3 inclusive (UTC). After that, the fillers and fireworks will be removed from the game along with the Old Man in white robes.



• In the “Testing Grounds” location, object streaming has been adjusted. Now, more objects are loaded immediately upon entering the location. This slightly increases loading time and memory usage, but reduces lag while moving through the area, since many objects will already be preloaded instead of causing stutters during streaming. Work in this direction will continue in future updates.
• Improved NPC death effects (similar to player characters), added the ability to decapitate NPCs with a headshot, and enhanced NPC death animations.
• Adjusted the safe zone size near the warehouse keeper in the “Big Village” location: it is now once again possible to run into the safe zone.
• The recon drone feed is now displayed in full-screen mode (similar to a helmet view). This reduces hardware requirements since double rendering is no longer used, and makes drone controls more intuitive and precise, with its own handling characteristics for players who want to master this tactical tool. The drone image quality is improved, and issues with low LODs and partially loaded locations are minimized. While controlling the drone in this mode, the player will still hear what is happening around their character, preventing unexpected surprises.
• Weapons with the “Dragon” skin have been removed from the in-game store. The “Dragon” appearance is now available during the “Lunar New Year” event as a premium paint spray, and the list of supported weapons has been significantly expanded.
• Work has been done to address FPS drops in the inventory when 3D preview mode is enabled. Further improvements will follow in future updates. For maximum performance without lag while using the inventory, we strongly recommend disabling 3D preview mode.
• Fixed minor issues with mini-map marker display.
• Addressed several issues that could cause the game client to crash.
• Fixed a UI bug that allowed players who had just completed an Adventure to reapply immediately. While such applications were not accepted, they negatively affected queue times for others. This fix should reduce waiting times for players who are actually in line.
• Fixed an issue that caused crashes on Steam Deck (and Linux systems in general) during server selection.
• Improved Linux support.
• Added descriptions to some clan quests.
• Corrected typos in some item descriptions.
• Fixed minor issues in location design.
