Test RIPOUT! Free download of our DEMO is currently LIVE as part of the Steam Next Fest!

Check out just a snip of RIPOUT in our official demo! Two levels, limited number of enemies and powerups, but the full amount of PetGun!

Here’s a look at what you’ll experience in the RIPOUT Steam Next Fest demo:

  • Intense Co-op Action: Embark on two procedurally generated missions, as well as a tutorial level, on your own or as a squad with up to two online co-op teammates.
  • Your Weapon Is Your Pet: Play with the unique PetGun, a living being you can transform and evolve with powerful upgrades to take enemies apart in fun ways.
  • Monstrous Challenges: Get a taste of RIPOUT’s most grotesque enemies, which can combine with smaller creatures to gain their abilities. Learn and exploit their weaknesses to survive.


Players can look forward to a fully fleshed-out experience when RIPOUT launches later this year, including a gripping story campaign with diverse missions, additional enemy and ship types, complete crafting for suits and weapons, a mission reward system, and numerous PetGun upgrades and behaviours.

3D Realms is teasing "something cool" that may be Prey-like co-op horror Ripout

FPS publisher 3D Realms - who recently released the excellent retro shooters Ion Fury, Graven, and Wrath: Aeon of Ruin - has started the new year by teasing "something cool" coming in February 2022. Fans immediately pinpointed the teaser as related to Ripout, a Prey-like co-op horror FPS - which 3D Realms could now be publishing for a release next month.


In case you'd forgotten, 2006's excellent portal-y sci-fi horror FPS Prey - the original, not the immersive sim reboot - was actually published by 3D Realms during the time when everyone was still expecting Duke Nukem Forever to be good. Sadly, Prey 2 never came to be and the rights changed hands to Bethesda.


The new FPS 3D Realms has just released a short teaser for is not Prey but appears Prey-influenced, and despite the publisher not mentioning it by name Twitter users immediately identified it as Ripout - a single-player and co-op horror FPS from Pet Project Games with a "living pet gun".
