The online co-op survival horror game REPO (Retrieve, Extract, and Profit Operation) has been making waves since its early access launch. Developed by Swedish studio Semiwork, known for Lethal Company, REPO combines physics-based interactions with comedic elements to create a unique horror experience. Players must work together to retrieve valuable items from procedurally generated environments while avoiding damage to their loot—a challenge that places REPO among the best teamwork-focused horror games.

First Major Update Details

In a recent Q&A session, Semiwork unveiled details about REPO's first major update. Key features include:

• Matchmaking: A long-awaited addition for smoother multiplayer experiences.
• Server Passwords & Kick Feature: Enhanced control over private games.
• New Expressions: More ways for players to communicate (or panic) together.
• Overcharge Mechanic: A fresh twist on combat, alongside new weapons to experiment with.

The update also hints at harder monster variants in later levels, though Semiwork confirmed no additional Overcharge-like mechanics are in development yet.

Community & Mod Support

The REPO community has already embraced modding, with creations like the Post Level Summary mod (for performance tracking) and XH Damage Show Enemy Health Bar (for tactical advantages). While Semiwork supports these mods, they've urged modders to optimize server traffic to keep costs manageable.

Future Collaborations?

Semiwork teased potential crossovers with other franchises, though nothing is confirmed yet. Given the team's busy schedule, fans may need to wait a while—but the possibility of iconic horror collaborations is thrilling.
