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

Join our live-stream on Friday, June 17 at 11am PT / 8pm CEST where we will be playing RIPOUT in co-op mode together with Jason - developer of the old-school FPS, CULTIC!

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.
