GTFO, the popular hardcore first-person shooter, has gotten a massive update, which will include a new environment, enemy, and more story to tell.
GTFO is a 4-player co-op action/horror FPS game, made for gamers who like a masochistic challenge in mind. The game is set in a terrifying underground facility called “the Complex”, where the only thing that may guarantee your survival is your ability to communicate and coordinate with your team – and count your bullets.
“GTFO has always been intended for ambitious gamers with a masochistic streak, which is why we have a warning on our product page to not buy it unless you’re up for a real challenge”, says Ulf Andersson, founder of 10 Chambers.
“With the new Rundown, however, we have done some stabilization to also make it a bit more accessible for players who might not call themselves hardcore. GTFO will always be difficult, but it should never be unfair. We hope this update will welcome many new players to our friendly and active community.” he added.
Along with introducing a new environment, a stockpile of new weapons, and an all-new enemy, this update will finally begin to unravel some of the mystery around GTFO’s story. The GTFO community has been theorizing the game’s storyline, and The Vessel will provide more story-related details.
“The Complex contains clues as to what happened there, and the new Rundown will allow you to sleuth out more of these and start uncovering the mysteries of the GTFO universe”, says Simon Viklund, member of 10 Chambers.
“To help with fleshing out GTFO’s story, we have brought on Adam Gascoine, who has previously worked on DOOM, DOOM Eternal, and The Last of Us.”
GTFO is currently still in an Early Access stage, but it is on track for a release of Version 1.0, which is supposed to be ready sometime at the beginning of next year.
“The Rundowns is a perfect tool to experiment with different concepts and ideas for what will go into Version 1.0”, says Ulf Andersson.
“It’s a huge help that the game is built on the Unity game engine, as it’s such a great environment to make prototypes and try out crazy ideas. I would say the tools offered by the Unity engine are fundamental for such a small development team to pull off the Rundown concept.”
This new update, named The Vessel (Rundown #003), is now available to everyone that owns GTFO Early Access. GTFO Early Access is available on Steam for $34.99, but to celebrate the update it’s right now 20% off!
