14 DAY TRIAL // GTFO, the 4-player co-op horror FPS (first-person shooter) from Swedish game developer 10 Chambers, is getting a major update and a free weekend on Steam. The game is being regularly updated with new expeditions (maps, scenarios, enemies) that replace the previous ones. Today, the studio released a big update that introduces 10 new expeditions, a new Garden environment, and a brand-new enemy.
Formed by industry veterans known for Payday: The Heist and Payday 2, 10 Chambers released its first title, GTFO, back in December. Since then, the game received six major updates as part of the so-called “Rundown concept,” so this would be the seventh installation – named Rundown 7.0 Rise.
The most important change included in this update is the addition of the Gardens environment, which adds blossom and green to the previously cold and dark environments, as well as two new enemies. On top of these, GTFO will be free to play on Steam between June 16 and June 20.
“It feels great to deliver one more major update for free to our GTFO community while at the same time being able to invite everyone to try out GTFO during our Free Weekend on Steam. To make onboarding a bit easier for new Prisoners brave enough to embark down in the Complex, we've added a solo tutorial level that will teach you the basic ropes of GTFO. But don't keep playing solo; it's still best to play with friends, work together, or die together,” said Robin Björkell, Communications Director at 10 Chambers.
It's also important to mention that five of the ten expeditions added recently will be focused on continuing the game’s story arc. Also, an expanded localization system will make the story elements more accessible to all supported languages.
Besides all the new content detailed above, the latest GTFO update brings many quality-of-life improvements, such as new sound effects, a more dynamic music system, animation, and graphical enhancements, as well as clearer visualization of players’ progression rewards.
