“While I was asleepLethal Companypassed 100,000 concurrent players,” the developer wrote in a post onTwitter. “Unbelievable, thank you for playing. Releasing updates for this game will be very fun.”
Lethal Companyentered Early Access on Steam on October 23, so the fact that less than a month later it’s celebrating over 100,000 concurrent players is kind of amazing, especially for a game made by a solo developer who got their start on the Roblox platform.
Been weeks since I started planning for it, but I just noticed the next enemy is seasonal! I wanted them to be in the game at releaseAnd no, these ones will not be “creatures” as I refer to the rest. These are Enemies. Antagonists. Combatants. Foes. Enjoy this pre-invasion time
Following the peak players announcement, Zeekerss wrotevia Twitterthat Lethal Company’s “next enemy is seasonal,” but the developer made certain to clarify they used the word “enemy” intentionally. “These ones will not be ‘creatures’ as I refer to the rest. These are Enemies. Antagonists. Combatants. Foes. Enjoy this pre-invasion time.”
In the replies, one user asked if their usage of the word “seasonal” implied the new enemy would only be present in the game temporarily. Zeekerss clarified that their use of the word “seasonal” was meant to suggest the enemy itself will be themed around the holiday season.
Lethal Companyentered Early Access on October 23. In the co-op experience, players must salvage from “abandoned, industrialized moons” in order to fulfill their obligations to a mysterious “Company.” But, there’s a reason it’s co-op — while you’re hunting scrap, something else is hunting you. It is available via PC, and there are no indications at the moment of a console release.
