Neon Tide: Season 8 is live in Horizon RP
A rebuilt waterfront, a new night market, player-run shipping contracts, and the biggest criminal economy overhaul we have ever shipped. Welcome to the tide.

Season 8 is live. It is called Neon Tide, and it is the largest content update in Horizon RP history: a rebuilt waterfront district, a new night market, a player-run shipping economy, and more than 400 new custom assets.
The Docks used to be a place you drove through on the way to somewhere else. This season, it becomes a place you stay. The Port of San Aurelio now has working cargo terminals, a customs office, a fishing fleet, and a night market that opens when the sun goes down.
What is new
- The Waterfront — a fully rebuilt docks district with 38 enterable buildings, two new apartment blocks, and a boardwalk.
- Night Market — 24 player-owned stalls, rotating vendors, and a black-market rotation that changes every in-game week.
- Shipping contracts — player companies can now bid on cargo routes, hire crews, and move freight across the map.
- Crime 2.0 — a reworked heat system, new investigation tools for police, and meaningful consequences for organized crime.
- Vehicles — 11 new cars, 4 boats, and a very questionable jet ski.
The economy, again
Every season, we rebalance the economy based on what actually happened. This time we are introducing regional pricing: goods cost different amounts in different districts, and moving them is now a real job. That sounds small. It changes everything about how the city moves.
We are also adding business loans, which is either a great idea or the beginning of the largest player-debt crisis in Unturned history. We are genuinely excited to find out which.
“The best stories in Horizon RP are the ones we did not write. Our job is to build a city where those stories have somewhere to happen.”
Season pass and rewards
The free season track includes 40 cosmetic rewards, three vehicle liveries, and a new apartment decoration set. The premium track is purely cosmetic and includes the Night Tide outfit collection. Nothing that affects gameplay is behind a paywall. That has been true since day one and will stay true.
Server is live now at play.horizonrp.net. The waterfront is waiting. Bring a coat.
