A mini update has been released for Murder Mystery. This update includes new unlocks, sound changes, and a brand new map: Nectar Lake!

New Map: Nectar Lake

Pack your bags, it's time to go camping down by Nectar Lake! Be sure to keep your wits about you though—not everything is as it seems...

Be sure to check out our blog post about the map here.

Directional Murder Sound

When a player is murdered, the sound now plays from the direction where the murder took place. The volume of the sound will also indicate how far away you were from the murder.

This feature works best when wearing headphones.

New Unlocks: Murder Weapons

You can now unlock various swords by leveling up:

• Dull Sword (Default)
• Sharpened Sword (10)
• Gilded Sword (25)
• Refined Sword (45)
• Forged Sword (60)
• Polished Mace (85)

By default, murderers now wield a wooden sword. The previous default (the iron sword) can now be unlocked at level 10.

A new update to Murder Mystery has been deployed to all regions. This patch is to help further balance changes introduced in the recent Murder Mystery update.

Changes

• Increased XP coin cap to 50 (based on survey results)
• Increased murderer kill XP from 10 to 15
• Introduced murderer-specific XP coin cap (currently set to 20)

Developer note: It seems people like being able to collect more coins for more XP, but it has resulted in games being longer than we'd like. To help combat this, we have introduced a murderer-specific XP coin cap. However, to ensure murderers still have an opportunity to gain a good amount of XP, we have increased the XP per kill. Our hope is this will motivate murderers not to hold the game up. We will re-evaluate and tweak as necessary.

Map Changes

• Pigment: Cubes will no longer grant a bow on collection
• Pigment: The murderer can now see the cubes, but cannot interact with them

Developer note: We've heard from many players that the cubes granting a bow was too overpowered, making the games much harder for the murderer. Now, the cubes will only grant you an extra arrow.

Thank you for all your feedback so far! Your feedback helps us make changes like this, so keep it coming. If you have feedback, please let us know on our Discord or Forums.

A new version of Murder Mystery has been released to all regions.

This version converts most in-game assets to a resource pack, improving performance, reducing "pink glitch," and laying the groundwork for future planned updates.

Changes

• Converted most game assets to be resource pack driven
• Added updated coin model, with spawn animations
• Added new, better-performing sheriff hat particles
• Moved sliding and pivoting doors to be client-side animated

We hope this update improves framerates while playing Murder Mystery. We also hope that Murder Mystery players will now see the "pink glitch" less often.

If you find any bugs, please report them on our forum.

It's time for a Murdery Mystery game update!

New maps

• Witch School
• Eso Hotel

AFK Prevention

To prevent players farming XP by being AFK, you will now be removed from the game if you don't participate.

Innocent Detector

To help Murderers find hiding Innocents, the Innocent Detector will help them find remaining Innocents in the last minute of the game.

Enjoy!
