Just a quick notice to avoid confusion:

There is another server currently using my server name Odyssey. This server is NOT affiliated with us in any way.

Our official server operates only under the Odyssey EU | Chernarus | Fresh | vanilla | name, and any variation you may see elsewhere is not connected to our community.

Please make sure you are joining the correct server.

Thanks.

Notes: All testers, please contact support for any questions

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

At this stage, overall development is approximately 40% complete. The server is being built on the Chernarus map, and core systems are already in place. Current work is focused on environment design and map customization, with particular attention to layout balance, performance, and overall gameplay flow.

All map decoration and environmental adjustments are being handled manually to ensure a consistent and immersive experience. This includes terrain refinement, object placement, points of interest, and performance optimisation to maintain stability under load.

As part of this development phase, we are actively working on West Field Airfield, which will serve as one of the key locations on the map. Below, you will find several work-in-progress screenshots highlighting the current state of this area. Please note that these images represent ongoing development and are subject to further changes and improvements before release.

(Screenshots below)

Development is progressing according to schedule, and we remain on track for the planned release date of 1 March 2026. Further updates will be shared as additional milestones are completed and new areas reach their final design stage.

We appreciate the continued support and patience of the community as we work toward delivering a polished and stable server experience.
