Big Sugar and developer Ludomotion released a brand new update for Unexplored 2, offering up new content as well as a number of fixes. We have the full rundown of what is included in this fifth update for the game as the devs work their way to releasing the game next year on PC for Steam and the Epic Games Store. The update will be released tomorrow, December 24th, giving you the holiday weekend to jump into it and check out all the new content.

• Brand-new camping UI which makes it easier to perform camping actions and keep an overview of your gear and perishables.
• The camping UI is accessed when resting at inns and farms, so you will have most camping options available at those locations, too.

• A risk indicator visible during camping should make it easier to understand when to expect enemies to appear at your camp.
• The map UI has a new set of icons to indicate locations, factions, and activities.
• The travel effects have a new set of icons so that they communicate more clearly what to expect during a journey.
