Press release:
Belgrade, Serbia – February 23rd, 2024.
The-Aalborg-based (Denmark) video games publisher 3D Realms and Beograd-based (Serbia) indie games developer Pet Project Games, today announced with great happiness and thrill that they have just released the “Monstruos” update for their co-op sci-fi horror FPS “RIPOUT“ (the said update (which is the biggest update for the game so far)is available right now for PC via Steam).

The Monstrous update brings a new enemy, new mission type, new sidearm, new enhancement pet buffs for your living gun, performance improvements, new animations, bug fixes and more.

The new Bulwark enemy is added to the roster of monstrosities you have to confront in RIPOUT. An enforcer who provides cover for other enemies while under attack, it is fully shielded while walking towards the player.

You must wait until it starts its minigun attack for it to become vulnerable to damage. The new Buckshot sidearm is a tool you might want to employ to help take it down! This close-range sidearm has scaling damage output based on how close you are to the target, making it a thrilling risk/reward gamble for players willing to get up close and personal.

Along with this new enemy and weapon, players have a new mission type to deal with. The recycle bin missions require you to clear up upcoming bio canisters getting fed into the main recycle bin. Fail to clear enough canisters and the recycler will explode and your mission will fail.

What critics have been saying

“Doom Eternal meets Left 4 Dead in brutal new co-op shooter” – PCGamesN

“RIPOUT has the makings of a premier horror space shooter” – IGN

“…nails a satisfying gameplay loop” – PC Invasion

RIPOUT is a co-op horror shooter where you wield a living Pet Gun and fight your way through abandoned mutant infested spaceships. These genetically altered beings grow stronger and reconfigure themselves by attaching smaller mutants to their bodies, so you never know quite what you are up against. Search for human survivors alone or in co-op and unravel the fate of humanity as you search for mythical Sanctuary. Where, or even what, it is, no one really knows. It’s up to you to find out.
