The R.E.P.O. development team has released the second major update for their unique co-op game — version 0.3.0 (The Monster Update). Players can now dive into loads of new content, improvements, and fixes that make the gameplay even more dynamic and engaging.

Here’s what’s new:

  • 10 new enemies have been added, each with unique abilities — including the Death Head Possession, which lets you control a fallen character’s head using a battery;
  • New upgrades: Death Head Battery and Tumble Climb;
  • Expanded levels: new rooms in the Museum of Human Art, Headman Manor, and Swiftbroom Academy, plus dozens of new valuable items;
  • Improved textures and object designs, revamped save interface, and a new feature to restore corrupted saves;
  • Discord Rich Presence support for easier co-op sessions with friends;
  • Smarter enemy logic, rebalanced damage, and better player interactions;
  • Memory usage optimizations and tons of bug fixes, including item, trap, and environment interaction issues.

To celebrate the update, R.E.P.O. is temporarily free to play on Steam until November 3. This is a perfect chance to try out the game and experience all the new features without spending a dime.

R.E.P.O. launched in Steam Early Access this February and quickly became a hit, peaking at over 270,000 concurrent players. At the time of writing, the game boasts a 96% positive rating based on 241,000 reviews.

The game is a horror co-op experience for up to six players, where physics and proximity voice chat play a key role. Players explore creepy locations together, obeying the laws of gravity, and collect valuable items using a unique grabbing tool. Teamwork and caution are essential to safely transport fragile or heavy objects — from pianos to ceramics — all while under the watchful eye of a mysterious AI. In-game currency can be used to purchase upgrades and weapons to boost your chances of success.
