'Friendslop' dominated 2025 by proving time and time again that graphics are overrated




If there's a single throughline for the PC gaming year that was 2025, it's finally accepting that the pursuit of fancy graphics just doesn't make sense anymore...

BIG NEW THINGS coming to R.E.P.O.

Hey hey semibots!

Today is the final devlog of the year and we’re showcasing a LOT of fun stuff, so do check it out:

For those of you who’d like to read instead of watching the video, here’s the key takeaways:
[hr][/hr]
[h3]UPCOMING NEW ITEMS[/h3]
With our next update, we’re not only adding cosmetics, but also some fun new items. For example, we’re adding a much requested Walkie-Talkie, so you can talk to your friends even when far apart, and a powerful Leaf Blower that will let you blow enemies (and friends) away!

[h3]UPGRADING THE SHOP[/h3]
The shop is getting a visual overhaul and new features, for example an Upgrade Re-Roller that let’s you re-roll upgrades (for some cash) if you weren’t happy with the initial selection of upgrades.

[h3]VEHICLES[/h3]
We’re still working on making vehicles as fun and intuitive as possible, so that they can traverse the currently tight maps of R.E.P.O. We’ve added drifting to the semiscooter, which adds another layer of great chaos.

[h3]WINTER HOLIDAY AND 2026[/h3]
Semiwork is going on a little winter break, but fret not – we are back early next year and ready to continue our hard work! We’re also stepping into a new year, 2026 – which is the year we are planning to fully release R.E.P.O. with a 1.0 version!

Now, enjoy the holidays and see you guys next year!

Bye bye!

Introducing VEHICLES to R.E.P.O.

Hey hey semibots!
It’s Friday and that means a devlog for you guys!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

For those of you who’d like to read instead of watching the video, here’s the key takeaways:
[hr][/hr]
[h3]INTRODUCING VEHICLES[/h3]
  • Together with cosmetics, we’re introducing vehicles to R.E.P.O. A fun and speedy way to traverse the level.
  • The Semiscooter can be purchased in the shop.
  • We are looking into a system where vehicles gets damaged over time and has to get repaired (instead of having a battery like other items).
  • Adding vehicles to R.E.P.O. also opens up a creative door for future levels, where we can adapt and have vehicles in mind when designing them.
  • Other fun stuff is coming as well, but more will be revealed in the final devlog of the year, launching next Friday.

Have a lovely, beautiful weekend! You deserve it!
Bye bye!

'If you happen to love microtransactions, I am going to disappoint you deeply': REPO's next update is revealing deets, and it's more exciting than monsters




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...
