GTFO News

When GTFO is released as Early Access hopefully later this year, it will be regularly updated with new levels that replace the previous ones. We call this concept “The Rundown”, and today we are releasing a video where Simon Viklund explains how it will work in more detail.

Did you miss the Early Access alpha tests we did last month and earlier this month? Now there's one more chance. We will have a GTFO Early Access beta test phase before the Early Access release. To get an invitation to this beta test, make sure to sign up as an ambassador at www.gtfothegame.com.

GTFO Alpha Network Test will be live during the Halloween Weekend! From October 31st, 7 AM PDT to November 3rd, 11 PM PST.

You access the alpha by becoming an Ambassador over at www.gtfothegame.com, you will then receive an email with further instructions (if it doesn't show up immediately, check your junk mail or wait for a while - it could be in queue on the mail server).

What to do until then? You could check out the new official GTFO Wiki, or why not the brand new gameplay video we released today! Four of the developers got together to play GTFO and recorded their game session, featuring a level you will not see in the alpha. Do you think the developers themselves survived the Complex? See below!

It’s been a busy autumn here in our small game studio in Sweden! Right after our well-needed summer vacation, we went right to it and began adding the finishing touches on the network alpha version of GTFO. This alpha will be focused on stress testing the network code, to ensure everything runs as smooth as possible when you get your hands on it.

While stress testing the network alpha, we teamed up with James Duggan at IGN for a session of hardcore co-op gaming. IGN recorded everything, and has just released 15 minutes of exclusive gameplay footage - the first shown since we attended Gamescom 2018. And a lot has happened!

View the video above, and please let us know what you think on Twitter and/or our official Discord.

Are you very eager to put yourself in the elevator and visit the Complex of GTFO and see if you and your friends can survive? Our Ambassadors will be invited to the GTFO network alpha test phase. We’re still accepting new Ambassadors to join, visit www.gtfothegame.com to sign up - but act fast! And tell your friends.

October 14th, IGN will premier new gameplay footage of GTFO - from a real session they played together with three of the developers. This will be the first gameplay shown since Gamescom 2018, and a lot has happened.

Stay tuned, and don’t move when their hearts beat…!

We just wanted to give you a quick update on the development of GTFO. In short, we’re making great progress, and have made it easier for our community to follow the progress - through the publicly available roadmap, Q&As with the developers on our official Discord and a more active Twitter feed. We hope you appreciate our initiatives to invite you into the development process! We try to be as transparent as we can to give our community an understanding of what we’re actually working on from week to week.

Since we’re such a small development team, your feedback and help during this process is important and we’ve already started integrating some of your suggestions in the game: You requested reload animation, so we’ve added them. Some of you thought the HUD cluttered the screen, so we’ve made it sleeker - and as always, get in through via Discord, Steam Forum or Twitter and let us know what you think!



It’s finally summer in Sweden and we get our (very limited) share of sunshine. The team has been working hard and now needs some well-deserved vacation time, to hang out with family and gather that extra energy needed to finally push GTFO into the alpha testing phase. Until then, we want to share some new screenshots showing some of the recent progress we made!

Have a nice summer, and see you down the Complex later this year!
