• What We Bring Back – New Gameplay Trailer at IGN Fan Fest 2026 - 25 February 2026

  Hello rescuers, Since our last trailer and playtests, the game has evolved. We’ve reworked the core gameplay loop with a stronger emphasis on extraction, looting, and the lasting impact of those you rescue.

During IGN Fan Fest 2026, we premiered a new gameplay trailer that showcases all of these changes in action. Take a look at what's new!
