PARADISE DISPATCH | NOVEMBER 7, 2026 | CYCLE 02
The island is changing. Cobalt remains active. Paradise Haven is preparing its people for what comes next.
The opening days of Cycle 02 have tested the Islanders. With hostile activity continuing across the island and the investigation into Project Eden far from complete, Paradise Haven has issued a new operational directive.
Effective Saturday morning, Haven will temporarily accelerate survivor training and field progression across LOST PARADISE.
For a limited time, all Islanders will earn Double Skill Tree XP as they continue their work throughout the island.
A DIRECTIVE BORN FROM NECESSITY
Recent field encounters have reinforced a growing concern within Haven: Cobalt's presence has not weakened, and the dangers surrounding Project Eden remain unresolved.
Survivors are encountering armed resistance, investigating abandoned facilities, recovering evidence, and preparing for threats that have yet to fully reveal themselves.
Haven's response is straightforward. Rather than allow the island's remaining survivors to fall behind, leadership has authorized an accelerated field-training initiative.
Combat experience, resource gathering, survival activities, and other eligible Skill Tree progression will receive increased XP throughout the directive.
The objective is not simply to make Islanders stronger. It is to ensure they are better prepared for whatever the island reveals next.
DOUBLE XP DIRECTIVE — NOVEMBER 7–8
The temporary training directive follows this schedule:
BEGINS: Saturday, November 7, at 8:00 AM Eastern
ENDS: Sunday, November 8, at 8:00 PM Eastern
Throughout this period:
- All Islanders receive 2× Skill Tree XP.
- Existing VIP and earned Prestige bonuses remain in effect.
- Skill Tree levels, unlocked abilities, and Prestige progress remain persistent.
- Paradise Credits, store pricing, and other non-XP rewards are unchanged.
- Regular random Skill Tree XP events are paused during the global bonus to prevent unintended stacking.
The active Double XP indicator will appear in-game, and Haven will issue periodic announcements while the directive remains in effect.
THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
The training initiative does not signal an end to Cobalt's operations.
Project Eden's unanswered questions remain. The locations already uncovered are only part of a larger investigation, and Haven continues to examine the evidence recovered by Islanders.
Every expedition matters. Every discovery brings Haven closer to understanding what happened here—and why the island continues to change.
The Double XP directive provides an opportunity to strengthen your skills, prepare your equipment, develop your abilities, and return to the field.
Cobalt has not stopped preparing. Neither should we.
