Solo developer Antti Leinonen announced on September 4 that Road to Vostok's first major update, BUILD 2 'Nomads', will release September 30. The update focuses on AI improvements, particularly for factions friendly to the player, and adds the friendly Nomads faction, a new airport-centered map called AIRFIELD, plus new weapons and items. The single-player survival FPS is in early access on Steam, where it holds a 'Very Positive' rating from about 8,600 reviews at 84 percent positive.
Road to Vostok is a single-player survival FPS set on the Finland-Russia border. The player starts in a Finnish evacuation zone, gathers supplies while fending off armed raiders, and aims to cross into the Russian area called Vostok, where death deletes the save file. The update trailer shows an NPC driving a bus, pointing to expanded NPC systems. The roadmap had targeted a Q3 2026 release for this update, and Leinonen is already developing the following BUILD in parallel.
