Gamescom 22, new release plan, closed beta and more!

Greetings everyone!
We have been hard at work on RIPOUT and are well on the way to bring a game filled with gory horror and co-op fun to players worldwide! There are some important things coming up, so we’d like to share an update with you.
As you may know, Gamescom 2022 is happening this week, and we will be there! Those of you planning to attend the show can check out the RIPOUT demo at the 3D Realms public booth in Hall 8.1, booth C030.
In addition, after internal review, we’ve decided to delay the official release of RIPOUT to early 2023. The feedback and comments we received during Steam Next Fest this past June gave us new ideas and also revealed some things that we’d like to improve. So we’d like a bit more time to work on the game and squash all the bugs (that may or may not involve a monstrous detached arm deleting stuff) in order to ensure the best possible experience for all players!
We expect to have RIPOUT available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in Q1 2023.
We are also planning to have a beta test for a select number of fans sometime around October/November. We’ll be selecting fans through our Discord and at Gamescom, so if you haven’t joined our channel yet, now is the best time to do so!
See you at Gamescom, and stay tuned for more development updates!
Thank you,
Pet Project Games & 3D Realms
