- NEW TRAILER & GAMEPLAY VIDEOS - 27 June 2026
STEAM STORE PAGE UPDATESIn the time since release (way back in January 2025!), lots of things have changed. We've been through 2 shotgun reworks, grenades are now a thing, over 10 new enemies have been added, I don't even know how many new arenas there are but it's a lot. A real lot. We got pickups, interactable buttons, UI overhauls, cutscenes, crates, barrels, over double the amount of music and a whole bunch of other stuff.This is great!

So it's time for something new!NEW TRAILER & GAMEPLAY VIDEOS FOR 2026New updates mean lots of changes. The original trailer has now been split into…
