- The Rake: 2015 Map Remake Trailer/Steampage OUT NOW (COMING OUT 2025) - 13 November 2025
I've been working super hard and am happy to announce progress on The Rake: 2015 Map Remake is going insanely well and fast and should be out December. The City campaign is officially being delayed to Campaign #3, instead for Campaign #2 the main character will take a detour through the original forest of Rake (2015). I figured it made more sense story wise to do this campaign first, its highly requested, and it'll take less time to make and release then the city campaign. I'm super excited to be working on it & it already looks visually great and is fun to play on after only less then a week of development so I am very optimistic about it turning out very well.
