New Map: Maple Lodge Campsite
“We’ve had reports of paranormal activity near an old campsite,” the notes read, “We need you to investigate as soon as possible to find out the cause of these ghostly sightings.”
Maple Lodge Campsite is a medium that has “picnic areas, games, multiple tents, a log cabin and a haunted lake.” It features several new items with higher quality graphics than any other map currently present in the game—though this will be remedied at a later date.
