Greetings Reagents,

While Dr. Easterman believes control comes through reward, Coyle knows it’s earned through devotion! Project Boneyard will introduce a brand-new Trial environment, The Prison Farm, and brings back Sergeant Leland Coyle in the new Trial, “Locksock the Warden.” The update will also add two new MK-Challenges, “Bribe the Judges” and “Cancel the Broadcast,” plus the Blood Drive event featuring new Trial machinery and the terrifying new enemy, The Biter, prowling the new maps. Alongside the new content, players can enjoy major quality-of-life additions like Rig and Knife Customization, Loadout Presets, Mastery Tasks, and extensive reworks to both Escalation and Invasion.

The Season 7: Project Boneyard update will be released July 14, 2026 10:00am ET.

New Trial Environment: Prison Farm

Reagents will bring “cruel and unusual” back to the living conditions of the prison population until riot makes way for revenge, while avoiding the latest member of our experimental population: The Biter.

New Trial: LOCKSOCK THE WARDEN

You are freedom. The indefinable promise that keeps prisoners at the grindstone that turns authority to profit and back again. Don’t let false authority stand in the way of real capital. Kill the Warden, and we will let you out. 

New Ex-Pop: THE BITER

This update introduces Reagents to our newest member of the experimental population, The Biter. These psycho-sadists, former forced labor inmates incapacitated through acts of self-mutilation as protest, have been physically repaired and mentally destroyed by Murkoff’s doctors and scientists.

This new Ex-Pop will be featured in Prison Farm, and the 2 new MK-Challenges released during Project Boneyard.

New MK-Challenge: BRIBE THE JUDGES

You are the master, whose property is the purpose of the law. Salary reminds enforcement that their monopoly of violence only exists for your monopoly of capital. Collect the bribes, pay the judges, and we will let you out.

New MK-Challenge: CANCEL THE BROADCAST

You are the butcher, who reminds the sheep the ultimate path of all flesh, no matter the bounty of wealth or the wealth of spirit. Sabotage the broadcast, defile the faithful with blood, and we will let you out. 

New Deluxe Catalog: PROJECT BONEYARD

The new Deluxe Catalog “Project Boneyard” will be available. The catalog is filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items, unlock the Deluxe Catalog using Murkoff Coins other Deluxe Catalogs or purchasable in the Murkoff Store.

Blood Drive Community Event

Blood Drive is a community-wide event that will start on July 14th and last until August 25th. Murkoff will require a substantial supply of blood for an upcoming project, and every contribution helps advance the collective goal.
