Dev Diary 6: Enter Revelation
Hello all!
We love game universes. The way they evolve, the way they grow, the shared journey with your audience. We live by Tolkien, by Asimov, by Lovecraft, by GRR Martin. When we see games like Path of Exile or Fallout we feel, that’s the way to go! When we see Eve Online, we feel “that’s a masterpiece”
Killsquad is our tribute to that. We dream of a day where you have dozens of Killsquad heroes, and many planets to explore. But, as Tolkien himself would say “Little by little, one can travel very far”. So, today, we are happy to reveal our vision for the next 6 months. The season 1 of Killsquad, which has the theme of REVELATION. REVELATION will present the actors of the Killsquad universe: the factions, their agendas, and how do we, the Killsquad, work to get what we want.
A few disclaimers before getting all excited about the Plague and the Federation. You guys know we like to be 100% transparent, both when we get it right and we get it wrong. So here’s a couple warnings:
Here is the roadmap of Revelation, click to open in Full Size. We'll be posting it also in the screenshots section.
Each update is going to come with an expansion of the Killsquad Lore, fiction, and an evolving story.
We hope you will join us on Revelation, which starts July 16th. Because there’s no journey worth doing that doesn’t come with travel companions. Frodo is nothing without Sam. We’re gonna go on an incredible journey. We hope you tag along.

- There’s an overall task, bug fixing / general improvements, not listed here. But of course that’s ongoing and you’ll get updates frequently.
- We will drop new contracts during development, they are not part of these major updates.
- This is a development plan. Things may change. New features may take priority. If that happens, we’ll keep you posted on our progress. Best is to be around our Discord, that’s where the magic happens.
