R.E.P.O. News

It feels like only yesterday semiwork announced that the team would be taking a break before working on the next update. Which isn't actually entirely inaccurate as it's been less than a month and we're already got the first video about the next release. So, it looks like we won't have to wait too long before REPO receives its next batch of content after all, and in my opinion, it's the most exciting one yet...

[h3]THE NEXT UPDATE REVEALED[/h3]
- Cosmetics (And other fun stuff) is finally coming to R.E.P.O.
- Cosmetics will be 100% free and earned by simply playing the game - no microtransactions whatsoever.

[h3]GOLDEN JOYSTICK AWARDS[/h3]
- We got ourselves a win in the “Best Early Access Game” category and we are so thankful to everyone who voted! ❤️

[h3]REMINDER ABOUT DEVLOGS[/h3]
- Friendly reminder that devlogs does NOT affect the development of the game, as we have separate teams working on each. You do not ever have to worry, regardless of the posting frequency, that videos negatively impact the game’s development.
- These videos are important to us as they let us communicate directly with you, our community, and getting frequent feedback from you guys is extremely valuable to us ❤️
