[h3]MACHINES, WE KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING.

...YET... SO HAS HE.

ULTRAKILL PRIME SANCTUM 2 IS NOW READY FOR YOU:[/h3]



It features new music by Heaven Pierce Her (Hakita) as well as guest artist KEYGEN CHURCH

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
You think you're ready? That's cute.

[h3]Why not relax and also take in new Secret Level 5-S while you're here?[/h3]



Our decidedly most chill secret level to date.



Because something tells us you're going to need it.

[h3]This update also contains Radiant Enemies:[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
They can be tested in Sandbox Mode currently and will eventually be used in the Cyber Grind and upcoming Encore levels with alternate enemy placements...

[h3]As well as the S.R.S Cannon (Green Rocket Launcher Variation)[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Sam would be proud.

[h3]And... The Developer Museum.[/h3]



Created entirely by (paid) ULTRAKILL community developer Vvizard, this massive structure houses many halls, many balls, a working movie theater, an aquarium... and maybe even some secrets.



It was designed and built as a testament to ALL of the talented people who have contributed work to ULTRAKILL over the years, and we hope you enjoy exploring it much more than a simple credits screen.



But enough about that....

[h3]REMEMBER:[/h3]

STAY VIGILANT

And most importantly

[h3]H_A_V_E _ F_U_N[/h3]

[h3]Machines, first of all we must THANK YOU for the reception to Act II.[/h3]
This filthy robot army has grown bigger and better than we could have ever imagined.

You prayed for salvation from boredom, and hopefully... we delivered.

Now, after some much deserved rest, Hakita and the team have been at work on the next update.



[h2]It will contain...[/h2] [h3]P-2:



5-S:

[h2]And...[/h2]

If you're expecting it this year, however? Alas, it is not to be.

This update will arrive early in 2023. Which is not far away now.

New weapon variations and carefully balancing a challenge the likes of P-2 take time.

So please be patient.

But know this, if you thought P-1 and Minos Prime were hard?

HA

A HAHAHAHA

A HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
