Just 9 days until the Bladekisser DLC comes out!

In the meantime, just dropping some 4k wallpapers:

Also some wallpapers from the Ghostrunner art collab:

See you guys in 9 days!

Steam Homies,

We are thrilled to finally reveal Bladekisser DLC - releasing July 25!

It's time to get up close and personal. Are you worthy enough to wield the blade?

Checkout the brutally violent trailer:

• 2 new missions: TF63 command center and Omega Facility
  
• 9 combat simulator maps
  
• 3 new weapons: sword, revolver, machine gun
  
• 3 high-value targets
  
• 10 new intel documents

TF63 Command Center is a rescue mission (gone wrong). In Omega Facility, 106 raids a Horizon ocean platform defended by a nuclear submarine.

Five pieces of canon fodder with bright futures

What you've all been waiting for
More info soon!

Thanks for sticking around and supporting us! We're so grateful and can't wait for you to start slashing people.

While we work on our sword DLC, we thought it'd be awesome to host an art contest since you all are so damn creative!

• Contest will be taking place on our discord servers! Trepang2[discord.gg] & Ghostrunner2[discord.gg]
  
• The overall theme is "Trepang 2 x Ghostrunner 2" - You must include elements from both games in your art submissions.
  
• A submission channel will open January 17 and close at January 24.
  
• Voting will then begin January 24 and end January 31.
  
• Winners will then be announced some time on February 1.
  
• There will be 10 winners for the event.
  
• Potential to win Trepang 2, Ghostrunner 2 keys, and more!

Rules:

1. Art will be defined as anything that's a creative medium.
   
2. Each attendee can have one submission max.
   
3. NSFW is not allowed, but minor gore is fine.
   
4. No slurs, hate-speech, bigotry - just follow the server rules.
   
5. Art must follow the theme of both games
   
6. No AI art permitted

Best of luck everyone and lurk in our discords for the event launch announcement on January 17!

Throughout the past six months, we've seen a steady growth of interest for our goofy ah game, and we cannot thank each and everyone one of you enough. So instead we wanted to take this opportunity to let you homies know what we got goin on at Trepang Studios, what's next, and what to expect.

---

What we've been working on

• Build-a-Merc
  
• GOG Update
  
• Horde Mode Music Randomizer
  
• Merch
  
• Story & Sword DLC

Okay, hear us out. How cool would it be to create your own NPCs to fight along side you, or to blast into clown dust? From the beginning of development, we've been wanting to add the option for the player to create their own NPCs. Changing things like their camo, hats, glasses, etc, and overall just fun goofy stuff. We hope to have this ready by the Sword DLC release.

If you bought the game on GOG, we hear you. Due to unforeseen circumstances (lol) our GOG release will be updated in January. There is unfortunately nothing else I can report on that at this current moment, and apologize for the huge delay. We hear you, we agree with you, January.

NO LONGER will you hear the same 5 songs on the beginning of your horde runs lmao. Songs are now randomized and will display the song name so you won't have to painstakingly go through the OST to find the jam to lift your weights to.

WE HAVE MERCH[trepang2-shop.fourthwall.com]
Including but not limited to:
To be released in 2024, we have a new DLC approaching. Not much we want say at this moment, other than anticipate slicing and dicing nerds that look at you funny.

---

As we've been hard at work on more DLC for Trepang2, you homies have been hard at work making amazing screenshots and fan art of Trepang2. We want to take this opportunity to thank you all so much, and to show everyone some (and definitely not all) stuff that some people have made for us our Discord[www.trepang2.com].

this is trepang studios right now basicallyThank you for always being patient while the 4 of us make sure things go even smoother than we could imagine. We are so grateful for each and everyone of you for playing, telling your friends about it, streaming it, let alone read this news post. ♥

While you homies were playing Trepang2, we were viciously taking notes on what worked, what didn't work, and what we can do about it. During that, we also have been working with a rad porting studio Kittehface on getting Xbox Series X/S & PS5 ports this year.

We've just submitted Patch 1 for approval, we'll let you know once it goes through all the processes and is available to download.
