In a recent post on Steam, labelled “Preview #9,” thePhasmophobiastudio has given some details on what’s to come in the “Progression 2.0” patch, going into specifics about the game’s thermometer. The post admits that the equipment used in the current build does have its problems, such as temperatures not being synced or finding there was “no gameplay” involved when using the item. As such, the thermometer is being given an overhaul and will come in three tiers, which includes new models and an upgrade to the old one. According to the roadmap, which looks at what’s in-store for the game, this major patch is due to roll out in Q3 2023. However, before then there is “Progression 1.0”, which is due to arrive in July. The post goes on to say that fans will be able to try out the new equipment before 2.0 arrives.
Progression 2.0 also represents a reset for the game, which means all players will start from 0. However, the update will allow people to display a badge that shows the level they achieved in the earlier build. An earlier post on Steam also outlined changes that were coming to the D.O.T.S. Projector, another one ofPhasmophobia’s many useful pieces of equipment, which will also have three tiers.
As scary as the game is,Phasmophobiais above all a fun experience, especially when played with friends. It can be quite amusing to see others bumbling about, panicking as a ghost moves in for the kill. However, it’s the fact that it can also be utterly petrifying that’s the major draw for a lot of ardent horror fans in.
