Farlight 84 relaunches with new updates; jetpack returns

Farlight 84 took Lilith Games six years and 1 billion RMB (~ 7.9B PHP) to build. The acclaimed free-to-play hero shooter battle royale has officially relaunched worldwide, including here in the Philippines, after years of refinement.

With its biggest Summer 2025 update, Farlight 84 brought back the Jetpack, added full FPS support, a vast new map, and significant tactical customization. These updates increased the bar for a new-generation cross-platform battle royale on PC and mobile. See more details about the game's global relaunch below.

New First-Person Perspective (FPP) Mode

Players can now select "First-Person Mode" or "Third-Person Mode" before starting a match, each delivering a different gameplay experience.

Lilith Games said the demand for FPP was enormous and that they wanted to reach more players. Farlight 84 offers additional interaction levels and more ways to control the battlefield.

FPP's weapon feedback, hand animations, and graphic refinement make shooting immersive. Gameplay is smoother and more enjoyable in this mode.

Jetpack Is Back

Officially, Farlight 84's most iconic mechanic is back and better than ever. Starting from Day One, Jetpack enables players to fly across rooftops and fight stylishly. It offers verticality when you want to reposition mid-fight, flank from above, or escape a hot zone.

With Nextara's high-rise structures, multi-level combat zones, and layered terrain, the Jetpack is more than just a mobility aid. You must outmaneuver opponents, control high ground, and win fast-paced firefights.

This brings back memories for veteran fans. This exhilarating mechanism distinguishes Farlight 84 from other battle royale shooters for new players.

New Map: Nextara

Nextara is huge, combining close-quarters and open areas. The diverse terrain invites clever ambushes, escapes, and fierce combat on high and low land.

Instead of having a fresh battlefield, Nextara changes how battles should go.

Hero Updates

With the thrilling arrival of Kui Dou and the complete visual revamp of Syfer, the Farlight 84 hero roster has evolved.

Gale Stride, Cosmic Throw, and Cosmic Authority can help Kui Dou dash into fights, pressure opponents with a tracking mine, and enhance his attack and defense. Each skill improves cooldowns, combat impact, and mobility for players who thrive in close combat and capitalize on momentum.

Farlight 84's graphic revamp also includes a complete character redesign for fan-favorite hero Syfer. This legendary fighter now has finer models and effects to match the game's high-fidelity look.

Free Battle Pass - Unli Rewards

Farlight 84 offers all players a free Battle Pass with premium content. New Infinite Battle Pass system lets users refill their pass endlessly, unlocking more rewards as they play.

With new gear, weapon skins, and ability-based loadouts, Farlight 84 offers more customization than ever.

New Weapons and Mods

New weapons, including QBX-95 and PV9, together with extra scopes, damage-boosting modifications, and tactical gear, enable you to customize your loadout and conquer the battlefield.

These powerful new tools let you shape the fight one precisely tuned loadout at a time.

New Buddies

Farlight 84 turbocharges the Buddy System with new Super Buddies and Tactical Buddies, giving players new ways to scout, support, and strike, from smoke-screening companions and explosive damage dealers to area-control titans like Thunderhound.

The updated Buddy Cube lets players use smarter, more strategic partners to win battles.

New Modes

Solo Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Bot Mode, and forthcoming modes like Jetpack Royale and Respawn are included in Farlight 84's relaunch, offering entertaining and competitive game modes for all players, from high-stakes showdowns to casual skirmishes.

Graphics Upgrade

Farlight 84 looks brand-new with its revamped lobby UI, character models, and visual effects. PC and mobile users can expect a high-fidelity visual update that matches its energetic gameplay.

Limited-Time Relaunch Event

Farlight 84 prepared a limited-time event with premium cosmetic items and unlockables to commemorate its global relaunch.

Hero skins with striking designs and high-fidelity models, weapon skins, and exclusive bundles with themed skins and more await players.
