Peer Review #12

[h5][color]Greetings, esteemed colleagues![/color][/h5]
🎃 Science in general can be pretty scary. Chemistry? Horrifying. Physics? Don’t even get us started. All that aside, this October Peer Review is for scientific creations which fit a more classic spooky vibe.

It’s an important day, so this one’s a bit of a doozy! Grab some pumpkin coffee and strap in.

Abiotic Factor gets new roadmap featuring a mystery crossover, DLC plans, and new difficulty modes alongside dev Q&A: 'We're terrified of our obligations to the community so be nice, we love you'

biotic Factor might seem like a goofy sendup of Half-Life with its balding science guys and story centered around an iconic disaster ending in the word "cascade," but behind the silly facade is one of the best, most atmospheric survival games in recent memory...

New Abiotic Factor roadmap lays out story DLC and major free updates into 2026

Half-Life 3 who? While Gordon Freeman and friends remain trapped in a locker at Valve HQ, Abiotic Factor has proven itself to be far more than a simple twist on the series that inspired it, and I'd happily call it one of the best survival games on PC right now. With its 1.0 launch in the rear-view mirror, developer Deep Field Games has a brand-new roadmap for us, and there's a whole heap to look forward to. On the cards are an absolute wealth of free updates and quality-of-life improvements, along with a couple of pieces of paid DLC and a mystery crossover.

1.1+ Roadmap

[h5][color]Greetings, esteemed colleagues![/color][/h5]
We’ve put together a vlog detailing some of the roadmap, talking about our future plans, and more!

ROADMAP UPDATE

This is a living roadmap so, of course, subject to change. We’re all at the whims of aberrant meteorological phenomena and that one crazy idea that the lead computer scientist ran off into the woods to chase. But for the most part we plan to stay generally on track here.

[h3]Free Weekend[/h3]
Unfortunately we have to postpone the try-before-you-buy free weekend. We apologize to anyone who was hoping to check out the game during this short window. We will still be discounting the game during these dates, so anyone who hasn't had a chance to play ABF yet will have a full week to get it cheaper. We'll let you know when we have a future free weekend lined up!

Thank you, Research Division for both your past and future efforts in the GATE Cascade Research Facility.
