'GTFO' Revamps And Permanently Reissues Earlier Content In Anticipation Of Rundown 8.0

by Rainier on Oct. 20, 2022 @ 11:06 a.m. PDT

GTFO is a 4-player co-op action/horror FPS game, made for hardcore gamers looking for a true challenge.

Players get to play as a team of scavengers, forced to explore and extract valuable artefacts from a vast underground complex that has been overrun by horrifying monsters. Gather weapons, tools and resources to help you survive - and work to unearth the answers about your past and how to escape.

In GTFO, you and your friends will explore hostile and terrifying environments where, in an instant, you are thrown from edge-of-your-seat suspense to frantic action. It’s a large-scale experience, testing players in their ability to gear up and adapt to an endless string of unknown and ever-changing challenges.

GTFO utilizes a unique content delivery system called “Rundowns” — regular game updates that added new limited-time expeditions (maps, scenarios, challenges, enemies, etc.) that completely replaced the previous Rundown.

Cast in a four-player team of prisoners held against their will by a mysterious entity called The Warden, a player’s survival depends on their team’s ability to communicate, coordinate, and manage their ammunition — else they doom themselves to a bloody, messy death. Through the Rundown system, The Warden subjects prisoners to a never-ending series of nightmarish expeditions that go deeper into a place called The Complex. To The Warden, data is invaluable, and human lives are expendable. 

GTFO is a game with a thick atmosphere intercut by intense action - and the experienced development team shows its strengths in all aspects of the presentation.

10 Chambers announced the surprise re-release of ALT://Rundown 1.0 Deviation for GTFO.

As of today, players can experience ALT://Rundown 1.0 Deviation and Rundown 7.0 Rise permanently – with Rundown 2.0 to 6.0 being released one-by-one leading up to the release of Rundown 8.0 that will encapsulate the complete GTFO storyline.

ALT://Rundown 1.0 Deviation is not just being reissued – hence the "ALT://." It is an alternative experience to the original Rundown. Since Rundown 1.0 was initially released in 2019, the team has spent much time and great effort updating GTFO's gameplay mechanics, feature set, and overall look and feel. This will be reflected in ALT://Rundown 1.0 Deviation and in all subsequent reissues. 

"Since the Early Access release of GTFO in 2019, we've been delivering seven big Rundown updates while constantly fine-tuning the game by adding new mechanics and features – seeing what works and what does not. We're entering the next phase where we want to make all of the story and previous Rundowns available to existing and new players – but with a twist. What that twist is, I will let our community find out for themselves, no lore related spoilers," says Robin Björkell, Communications Director at 10 Chambers.

Permanently unleashing all previous Rundowns will give fans the entire GTFO experience, instantly going from gripping suspense to explosive life-or-death action while uncovering the dizzying storyline from its beginning to its eventually bloody conclusion. Deploy stealth and strategic teamwork and utilize all of the various weapons and load-outs to try to safely complete all of the nightmarish missions in unsettling environments across all levels while facing off against terrifying enemies.

"As the Rundown system is in the next phase, where we will not wipe previous content with new, GTFO will grow to this massive co-op FPS in terms of content. If you go back and look at the earlier Rundown and add Rundown 8.0, you can start imagining how big GTFO will grow," says Robin Björkell.

Key Features:

  • 4 player cooperative PvE gameplay that puts you and your teammates through the ultimate co-op test.
  • Together, explore treacherous environments that are both creepy and enchanting.
  • Plan your expedition, equip and operate tools, combine your firepower, communicate and coordinate as a team - every detail counts if you are to survive the nightmare.
  • GTFO’s Expedition Director throws players into new challenging situations in every play session.
  • The Expedition Director controls every single parameter of the experience, derived from a hand tailored data set.
  • Come prepared! Search the complex for better gear to take on new, harder challenges.
  • Characters and dialog written by Adam Gascoine.
  • Nightmarish atmosphere accompanied by music from acclaimed composer Simon Viklund.

10 Chambers Collective consists in part of founding members of Overkill Software and the game designer behind the PAYDAY franchise. With GTFO, they aim to explore and develop the 4-player co-op formula even further.

GTFO is available for PC (Steam).
