One of the toughest, most brutal tactical shooters on PC just got a new remaster

When you think of realistic and tactical shooters, you might think of fidelity, high-detail visuals, and big, plausible environments. The grounded, slow-paced military games of today are Arma, Ghost Recon, and, to a greater or lesser extent, Escape From Tarkov and Hell Let Loose. But although it's low-budget, pixelated, and played entirely from the top down, Intravenous manages to be tougher and more intense than these triple-A spiritual peers. An homage to classic Splinter Cell and Deus Ex games, and also inspired by the epochal Hotline Miami, while Intravenous 2 continues to rake in rave reviews on Steam, developer Explosive Squat has just sneaked out a remaster of the 2021 original.

When I was getting close to releasing Intravenous 1 back in 2021, I was running out of money and time, and so I had to cut various corners to finish the game.
Ultimately, the game ended up in a worse state than it could have been, with various ideas left unimplemented due to time & budget constraints.

Various new features present in Intravenous 2 were things I was thinking of adding to the first game, but couldn't.
During the development of Intravenous 2 I got the idea of remastering the campaign of the first game, as I thought it would be really cool to be able to play the original with all the improvements of the second game.

This Remaster DLC is a perfect opportunity to do just that and even go beyond, as the campaign has:

  • all the new and improved gameplay mechanics of Intravenous 2 and is adapted to the gameplay design of the sequel
  • an updated soundtrack with new tracks for levels that didn't have their own unique tracks
  • updated level layouts
  • completely re-done localization
  • improvements to dialogue


All these changes are done to bring the level of quality of the original to the level of quality you'd expect from Intravenous 2.

This Remaster is as much a remaster as it is Intravenous 1 2.0 - it's in a state I wish I could have released the original back in 2021.
I hope you will have a great time with it, as I had a lot of fun preparing this campaign remaster!

P.S. try playing the original after this - it just won't feel the same anymore!

Sincerely,
Roman Glebenkov

Intravenous 1 Remaster DLC Coming Soon

Hey folks!

I'm excited to announce the plans I have in store for Intravenous 2 for 2025!

Starting today, you can wishlist the DLC page to be among the first to experience it when it launches on March 3rd.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3391540/Intravenous_2_IV1_Remaster

The goal of this DLC is to revisit the Intravenous 1 campaign and improve it in all aspects: update the levels & soundtrack, adapt the gameplay to the game design of Intravenous 2, incorporate new gadgets and the weapon modification system.

New players will be able to explore the series' legacy with updated gameplay, while those already familiar with the original game can relive the experience with new features, redesigned levels, and new weapons.

Additionally, the release of update 1.2, which adds the Map Editor & Steam Workshop support, new weapons, and further improves the game in various aspects is currently in a public BETA (to try it out, simply opt into the "mapeditor" BETA!), and is planned for February.

So, at the start of next year, you can expect two major content updates:
  1. February - Free 1.2 Update: Steam Workshop, Level Editor, UMP, MAC-10, FAMAS G2 and more
  2. March 3rd - Intravenous 1 Campaign Remaster DLC

Move over Hitman and Thief, this fantastic indie stealth game is 75% off

We're accustomed in videogames to taking challenges head on, charging into the fray with sword, staff, or sub machine gun and obliterating enemies en masse. Stealth games upend that dynamic. From the original Metal Gear through the superlative Thief and Deus Ex series, and modern classics like IO's Hitman World of Assassination, sneaking can be just as rewarding as outright combat. Combining the best elements of the stealth genre with visuals from indie darling Hotline Miami, Intravenous is one of the greatest stealth shooters of the last five years, and well worth your time now it's on sale via the Humble Bundle HypeTrain Publisher Sale.
