We started working on a brand new gun to add into the Hoverloop arsenal, only it will not be present in all of the modes...
We'll post an update/announcement later on when we have more details to show but for now, just know that we have a gun coming that will do more than just diss out damage.
We did decide on a name, however! World, say hello to "RE:VIVE"!
You can see a rotating model of it here:

The fresh tutorial will help you learn the ropes in your high-speed hover drone while an AI upgrade for computer-controlled opponents will push you to your limits.
You'll be able to express yourself even more because we added a bundle of new drone skins, hats, trails and emotes to taunt your poor opponents with.
We also made some changes to the UI and added in stuff based on your feedback. Touch up your drone, refine your skills and become the champion of the arena!
*NOTE: The online mode is still not available as we’re currently working on it. It will be part of the final game at launch in Fall 2019, along with more new modes. Until then, you can invite your friends and family over for some sweet, sweet split-screen action!
"A little louder!"
As always, we rely on your feedback so feel free to give us a shout if you would like to see certain changes or if you have any ideas on how to improve the game. We're all ears!
Here’s the list of the new update content:
Free to play
We have made the decision to adapt Hoverloop from a premium to a free to play game. This decision was made to ensure a larger community and player base at release. Players will be able to make use of our dedicated servers for matchmaking or create their own custom matches on private servers. You will be able to play with or without AI.
We oppose the idea of “pay to win”, so rest assured that we will never sell items that give paying players an advantage in the game. Money spent in the store can only be used on cosmetic items or to unlock season pass content.
Early Access buyers + Kickstarter backers compensation
Continuing work on Hoverloop would have never been possible without the support of our Kickstarter backers or our Early Access adopters. To thank them, we’d like to offer compensation in the form of a free season pass ($9.99) and a Loops pack (value TBD). (rolling out as soon as these are available)
Demo on Steam Early Access available soon!
A free demo will be made available on the Steam Early Access Page. To start, we’ll focus on an offline mode, including split-screen and AI players but we’ll continue with online tests at a later date. - Feel free to provide feedback along the way.
Customizations
There will be a wide range of customizations available:
