Steampunk survival game Nightingale finally gets an offline mode with 0.3.0 update

Nightingale, the steampunk victoriana survival game by Inflexion Games was released back in February 2024 and since day one, many players have been asking for one thing more than any other — Offline mode. Well, with the implementation of update 0.3.0, they’ve got their wish. 

Offline mode is finally coming to Nightingale, which should mean an end to the server woes which plagued the game soon after release. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the original plan for the game to be online only, owing to the aspect of random generation within the Realms, but it did cause a lot of problems that I can personally attest to. 

Nightingale 0.3.0 update adds more than just offline mode

Offline mode is the star feature of 0.3.0, but it’s certainly not all that’s been updated with the patch. Also included with this update was the ability to build using items from storage, something which seems like it should have been included from the very beginning. Players can now also skip the tutorial, a glorious feature for those who want to have multiple characters without seeing the same instructions repeatedly.

Another feature that was added with 0.3.0 is the first in-game event, the Spark of Hope. This event will be live until the implementation of 0.4.0, which is expected in ‘early July’. The Spark of Hope event sees a new trader within Abeyance Realms, ready to offer players unique wares in exchange for event currency. 

Along with these changes, there were other things updated with 0.3.0:

• New Bound variants
• New tiered variants of the following creatures which offer higher quality drops
  • Apex creatures
  • Eotens
  • Swamp Giants
  • Bound
• New player outfits, body types and professions available
• Players can now edit existing characters
• New POI encounters
• Tier 3 & 4 Throwing Knives and Grenades

This is far from everything that was included with 0.3.0, but you can find the full update notes over on the Nightingale Steam page.
