Fallen Earth's January State of the Game is exploring deeper into Sector 4. The team has been very busy entering into the new year wrapping up the effects portion of the combat revamp, releasing their first high-end group content, and preparing for the release of Sector 4 Alpha County. A series of improvements to the economy are also in the works.

Sector 4 is going to be released in four counties. The first of the counties, Alpha, will give players a look at what's behind the wall and why it was built. Alpha will also raise the level cap by 5 and introduce loads of new content when it's released in the second quarter of this year.

The state of the game also notes that a new patch will be coming in February. The new patch will include:

• The Scavenger Boss system which introduces new bosses and encounter areas as well as recipe rewards for high-level players.
• The first pass at the economic fixes – we're adding more auction house NPCs and looking at component drop rates first.
• Skill and mutation balancing – Our systems team lead, Sarah, is hard at work bringing the skills and mutations into line with the physical combat changes.
