- Brutal boomer shooter Ultrakill makes its new chapter even better with over 120 precision changes - 4 March 2026
I'm very glad to see Ultrakill finally getting the spotlight it deserves. The "fast-paced, ultra-violent, old-school FPS " has the speed of classic Quake, the encounter design of modern Doom, and the combo systems of Devil May Cry. Its latest chapter takes us into the eight layer of Hell, 'Fraud,' and has already been met with huge acclaim from players. Creator Arsi 'Hakita' Patala still isn't satisfied. The new Ultrakill Fraud update makes a total of 127 changes, plus "general optimizations," but not before the developer delivers a heartwarming message to the community. Read the rest of the story...

- Fraud Hotfix #1 - 3 March 2026
MACHINES, WE HAVE A HOTFIX FOR YOU But before we get to the patch notes, I just wanted to take a second and say WOW. The release of Ultrakill: Layer 8 - Fraud was HUGE. We had nearly 72,000 people playing the game at once. Nearly triple the amount of players we had for the launch of Layer 7 - Violence or the ULTRA_REVAMP last year. More than giant multiplayer games like Apex Legends and Helldivers 2. Crazy. We also launched some new merch... Including MINOS PRIME PLUSHIES! https://i.imgur.com/XSUKUxG.png Don't wannt buy stuff?!

- Savage and stylish FPS Ultrakill just obliterated its all-time Steam peak record, more than five years on from launch - 25 February 2026
For Ultrakill fans, the long wait for its eighth layer of shooter Hell is finally over. The new Fraud level has been dangled in front of players' noses for a while now. After being hit with delays, fans endured a final round of torture as last-minute issues saw its release set back by several hours. However, it all seems to have been worth it. With a 97% score, Ultrakill was already one of the best FPS games on the entirety of Steam based on user reviews, and now it's got a huge new player count record to shout about too.

- Blood-drunk shooter Ultrakill is back with a whole hellworld full of lies, portals and non-Euclidean spaces - 25 February 2026
Do you like architecture that plays tricks on you? Secret rooms in DOOM? The Ashtray Maze in Control? Thinking with Portals? The 5 a.m. ? That painting of some books outside the lockers in the British Library that bends queasily as you approach, revealing itself to be a horrible wedge of tomeflesh, projecting outward into our realm like some dead author's imprisoned soul? I guess you’ll be playing the new Ultrakill update then. It introduces the eighth layer of Hell, Fraud, in which nothing you perceive with your eyes can be trusted. A problematic prospect, for a “video” game. Here’s the trailer. I promise you that the play button below isn’t an illusion. Are you an illusion? Blink twice for "Yes". Read more

- Ultrakill is one of Steam's highest-rated indies, and it's 93% off in this bundle - 14 January 2026
As a twisted, contorted blend of genres, Ultrakill shouldn't work. It infuses Devil May Cry's style-focused system with classic Doom-style aesthetics, forcing you to pull off combos and constantly vary your attacks as you make your way through a story wrapped in dark, ultraviolent themes. The result is one of Steam's best FPS games , and in this bundle, it's under $2 - a massive 93% off its typical price. Read the rest of the story...

- Fraud Development Update - 15 December 2025
Hello Machines, Big Dave here.Now while we said that Fraud would be out this year, and while we were hoping for a Christmas or New Years miracle - unfortunately we still need some more time to complete Layer 8 of ULTRAKILL.You see, when we embarked on this upside down / inside out journey to create a layer full of lies and non-euclidean portal technology - we underestimated just how much work would go into not only getting all of these things to simply work, but also rewriting every enemy to be able to use the portals, making sound and light and reflections travel through the portals, and so on and so forth. It's been a challenge to say the least.In fact, since the ULTRA_REVAMP update we've moved three members of the New Blood programming team over to the ULTRAKILL team and hired another additional programmer specifically to assist with this update. It's been a long road to get here - b…

The bombastic soundtrack, the electric-fast pace, and the brutality of blood painting the walls are reason enough to buy Ultrakill, even at full price, but when it goes on sale, well, you'd be silly not to get it. It's one of my favorite FPS games, beating out the titans of the genre like Doom and Call of Duty, and you can now grab it for just $7.50, alongside other Steam Deck Verified games, for a short time.

- Beloved boomer shooter Ultrakill teases a new level, and it's out of this world - 9 June 2025
What's your favorite videogame level? There's Titanfall 2's time travel in Effect and Cause, Dishonored 2's mechanical house in The Clockwork Mansion, or Count Razoff's sprawling home in Rayman 3's The Bog of Murk. In each and every one of those examples, the gameplay and visuals work in perfect unison, meaning that they've stuck in my brain all these years later. Lucky me, then, because New Blood Interactive has just shown off Ultrakill 's next level, Layer 8 - Fraud, and it looks like a chaotic mix of my favorites. Read the rest of the story...
