To the Lemnis Gate Community,
We want to thank you all for your support with Lemnis Gate, joining us for many incredible rounds in the loop. We’ve truly loved seeing your passion for the game, the mind-bending strategies you created and how you embraced this innovative twist on the FPS genre.
Lemnis Gate has been an ambitious project that we are privileged to have brought to life together, so it's with sadness that we share this news today.
From April 11 2023, Lemnis Gate will be removed from sale on all platforms. However, we will be keeping the multiplayer servers online so you can all continue to enter the loop until July 11 2023, at which point they will be closed. Console players will still be able to access local multiplayer and training modes, however PC players will be unable to play beyond that point.
We want to thank you all once again for your support and joining us on this journey.
We're delighted to announce that Update 1.3 is out now across all platforms! This free update adds new content to the game as well as several bug fixes and quality of life updates. We are also happy to share that 2v2 Ranked Mode has been reactivated, so now you and a friend can t
We're delighted to announce that Update 1.3 is out now across all platforms! This free update adds new content to the game as well as several bug fixes and quality of life updates. We are also happy to share that 2v2 Ranked Mode has been reactivated, so now you and a friend can team up against someone else in the time loop for competitive action. Please ensure your game is updated to the latest version so you'll have access to everything.
A new off-world site has been added to Lemnis Gate. The Nest is anchored to the upper rim of a massive impact crater, situated under a shattered moon. This construction site is the future home of an experimental retrieval and delivery system, which will provide earth with a steady stream of raw Exotic Matter. Until it's completed, it's up to the Lemnis Industries operatives to collect and transport the XM back home. This Retrieve XM map is sure to challenge all players, with lots of places to hide, but also plenty of opportunities for ambushes.
Botler Cosmetic - New Skin for KARL Give KARL a fantastic makeover with the new Botler skin, which includes two different colour variants. This cosmetic skin will make KARL quite the dapper robot, complete with large mustache and jaunty bowler hat. You can also unlock a new Emblem and a new weapon skin.
NVIDIA DLSS Support for PC Update 1.3 adds NVIDIA DLSS support, boosting performance in Lemnis Gate for those playing on NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs. DLSS will boost your framerates while providing uncompromised image quality.

Join Codes Queue Functionality: Fixed an issue with 2v2 join codes not always functioning as expected to allow players to join matches with their friends
Black Screen: Fixed an issue when queuing where a player could come across a black screen when attempting to load into a match
Steam Connection: Fixed an issue at the title screen when the Steam connection fails
Motion Sickness Improvements:
Extended the maximum Field of View (FOV) range to 110
Removed the chromatic aberration post-FX that was previously shown at the end of each 25 second time loop (which also provides a slight performance improvement)
Decreased the FOV change intensity when sprinting and sliding
Additionally bound the camera FOV change strengths (when performing a sprint/slide/jump/in the air, etc.) to the Camera Shake Intensity setting
PC Windows Store: Fixed an issue to prevent two instances of the PC Windows Store version being able to be run simultaneously on the same PC
XP Prompt: Fixed an issue where in the first half of online matches the XP prompt at the bottom-centre of the screen show players an incorrect amount of XP gained for completing objectives and obtaining kills
Recon Drone Propeller: Recon drone propeller placement could desynchronize with the drone's body if left idle for a certain period of time
Replay Loops Performance: Fixed an issue with recording replay loops in the training maps that could push the performance down significantly, by adding a minimum time loop length of 5 seconds
Vendetta Attack Pods: Fixed an issue where the camera shake, when building one of Vendetta’s Attack Pods, might not turn off correctly
Operative Highlight: Fixed a minor issue with the Operative's coloured highlight when receiving damage, clipped into the Operative's model
Multiple server-side crash bug fixes (Miscellaneous server stability improvements)
Improved loading times on all platforms
Gameplay
KARL's Projection Orb (Functionality): Further increased the projectile radius and its speed. Also decreased the gravity applied to the projectile. These adjustments should make it easier to attach shields to your team!

Deathblow’s Ability Trail: Re-instated a VFX trail for Deathblow’s proximity mines.
Toxin (Lag Compensation): Fixed a lag compensation issue with the accuracy of the teleport preview for Toxin’s Displacer ability not lining up with actual teleport results under certain network conditions

Settings
Key Bindings: As widely requested, added mouse button binding to Operative actions to improve accessibility
D-Pad Selection: Fixed menu scrolling not working with the D-Pad and allowed D-Pad selection on setting items in the Settings menu.
Photo Mode Key Bindings: Fixed an issue where if the player rebinds any of the photo mode bindings to the R key while in the keyboard and mouse tab of the Settings menu, upon rebinding, the prompt would tell the player that ‘Change Playrate’ must be bound to something else, as it has become unbound
Antialiasing Settings: Fixed the AA setting when using the global quality pre-set selector
Audio Settings: Fixed an issue where the ‘Dialog’ option text wasn’t displaying in the correct language in the Audio Settings menu

When using a 4K screen, selecting the Window Mode option of Borderless Window no longer defaults to 1920x1080 but instead to the highest supported resolution
Resolution 2560x1440 no longer displays improperly on game start up
GUI
Keyboard Overlap: Fixed virtual keyboard overlapping with the Operative HUD on restarting a match
Continue Prompt: Fixed an issue with data not being replicated on pressing 'Continue' as soon as it appears at the end of the 2nd half of a match that would cause the final scoreboard to not to display the 2nd half score
Scoreboard/Pause Menu: Fixed an issue where players who have the pause menu open until the scoreboard is displayed are given focus to the pause menu. However, upon selecting menu options such as 'Settings' or 'Change World' when the player presses the B button to return to the pause menu their controller focus was then pulled to the scoreboard screen below
Scoreboard GUI Pop-Ups: Fixed an issue where available scoreboard GUI pop-ups persist into the next half of the match if they're open when the continue timer reaches 0
‘Choose a Timeline’ Menu: Fixed an issue where if a player opened the 'Choose a Timeline' sub-menu, then pressed the BACK button twice, all in quick succession, the 'Choose a Timeline' menu persisted to other menus and controller focus was on the underlying menu(s)
Loadout Menu: Fixed an issue where when using keyboard & mouse, if a player navigated to the loadout tab and opened either the 'Select A Weapon To Equip', 'Select A Suit To Equip', or 'Select A Taunt To Equip' menus and then backed out, then the Back button would become non-functional if the player then switched to using a controller
Controller Navigation: Fixed the controller not being able to navigate to the Report button
Pause Menu: Fixed an issue where if the player had the Pause Menu open during the introductory video to Operative select, the option 'Concede’ would appear. Attempting to hover over the selection would skip it, and hover over 'Resume' or 'Quit' instead
Player Invite GUI: If an invite is accepted while in a Training map the player who accepted the invite will be taken to the main menu where they will begin joining the party. While doing so, they would have been shown a party of 4 players already partied-up and incorrectly displaying the names 'PlayerName'
Social Menus: Fixed an issue when a player navigated to the Recent Players tab/submenu within the Social menu would show all players in the Recent Players list always appearing as offline, even if any of the players on the list were online at the time
Replay File Error: Fixed an issue where the ‘Old Replay File’ error prompt would show over-and-over again on clicking the ‘Yes’ button
‘Reset to Default’ Trigger: Fixed an issue where players could trigger the ‘Reset to Default’ option while the ‘Save Setting’ UI pop-up is open on the screen
Name Change: Fixed a blocked player's name not updating in-game after they have made a name change
Death Skull UI Element Display: Fixed an issue where the death skull icon was not appearing on the HUD after death
Other GUI improvements and fixes

Basics (Mission Objective Videos): Fixed an issue where mission objective training videos were not playing within the Basics tutorial map

Time Loop Simulation: Fixed some texture flickering on parts of the vents the player flies through with the Recon Drone
Quarry: Fixed some minor texture flickering on parts of the metal beams near the blue team’s gate
Iridium Plains: Fixed some floating rock assets behind the blue team’s gate
Audio
Match Summary Audio: Fixed the match summary sound looping while travelling to the next map
Operative Audio Fixes: Adjustments made to the operative spawn SFX
VO Language Fixes:
If the user set the game's language to English but the PC's language was set to another language (In this case Spanish-Mexican), the VO in the main menu played in Spanish despite the game being set to English through Steam
Fixed an issue where launching the game in Traditional Chinese would have the AI voice localization play in English
Miscellaneous Audio Adjustments: Adjustments and improvements made to certain sound buses/sound classes, the menu click SFX and the reverb in ‘Solitude’ and ‘The Arbor’ maps

Game Modes, Match Types, and more
When you first boot up the game, we recommend starting with the Training Mode to get a feel for how the time loop mechanic works in practice as well as familiarising yourself with our roster of operatives. You can also just jump straight into your first match, if you so choose. You'll have access to the full suite of operatives, maps and Game Modes right from the start:
7 Operatives; each equipped with their own unique weapons and skills. Every operative adds something new to the team, and how you respond to your opponent's actions is up to you. Learn more about them in the Lemnis Gate Operative Trailers
12 Maps; each with their own quirks and layouts for you to learn. Familiarise yourself with some of the map with the Lemnis Gate Site Surveillance Trailers.
4 Game Modes:
Retrieve XM - Retrieve XM from the battlefield and bring it back to your spawn point. Whoever has secured the most XM by the end of the final round wins
Domination - Shoot to power Particle Accelerators around the map. Whoever has powered the most by the end of the final round is the winner
Seek and Destroy - One player attacks and another defends multiple Resistors on the map. If the attackers destroy a single Resistor, they win
Deathmatch - Earn points by taking down your opponent's operatives, and see who can master the time loop
Each map and Game Mode can be enjoyed in the following Match Types:
1v1 Turn Based - You and your opponent take turns adding one operative at a time to the loop.
1v1 Simultaneous - In the same turn, you and your opponent add one operative to the loop at the same time.
2v2 Turn Based - Each player takes turns adding operatives into the time loops one at a time in teams of 2
2v2 Team Mates Play Together - You and your teammate simultaneously add an operative to the loop, then your opponents both add an operative to the loop on their turn.
2v2 Enemies Play Together - In the same turn, only one player per team adds an operative to the loop at the same time.
2v2 Simultaneous - In the same turn, everyone adds an operative to the loop at the same time.
1v1 Turn Based Local – Play with your friends at home either by swapping seats or passing the controller back and forth!
2v2 Turn Based Local – Play with your friends at home either by swapping seats or passing the controller between all 4 of you!

Lemnis Gate is full of opportunities to defeat your opponent, flex your creative thinking and come out on top thanks to expert planning and analysis of the battlefield. However, we know that some of you want to show this to the world and see where you stand amongst the world’s best. In this post we'll be discussing Ranked Mode and how it will work.
In Lemnis Gate players can engage in competitive (Ranked) matches to climb the game's ranking system. Ranked Mode is the place to be for those of you with a competitive streak. In Ranked Mode you'll be able to compete against other players with the goal of raising your rank and getting the top position on the leaderboards. There's also the added bonus of bragging rights for reaching the top.
Ranking Up Lemnis Gate’s ranking system comprises of five ranks. With each rank broken down into five tiers: Starting at tier 5, a player must reach tier 1 before moving up to a new rank. Below you can see an example of a "Gold 1" player:
All players will start out in Bronze Rank. From there you will need to work your way up through 5 tiers, from 1 to 5, before you're able to advance to the next rank. There are five available ranks:
Bronze 1-5
Silver 1-5
Gold 1-5
Platinum 1-5
Diamond 1-5
Your Rank information is displayed in the top-right corner of your screen in the game's menus, indicating your current rank and tier.
Below you can see an example of the aforementioned information displayed on the top right:
Ranked Progression To increase your rank, you’ll need to partake in Ranked matches. To advance to a new tier/rank, you must obtain six wins. In Lemnis Gate, every win grants the player a node, while a loss will take one of your nodes away.
When moving up in the ranking system, you will start with two nodes upon promotion to a new tier/rank. This is to prevent you from being immediately demoted again if you lose your next match, which could lead to hopping between two ranks.
Match Eligibility and Exceptions All Game Modes (Domination, Seek & Destroy, Retrieve XM, and Deathmatch) and Game Types (1V1 Turn-Based, 1V1 Simultaneous, 2V2 Turn-Based, 2V2 Teammates Play Together, 2V2 Enemies Play Together, and 2V2 Simultaneous) are available to be played in a Ranked environment.
There are, however, two exceptions where you won't be able to play Ranked matches to avoid "rank farming." As follows:
When in a party of 2 or more, players won’t be able to play 1v1 Ranked matches.
When in a party of 3 and more, players won’t be able to play any Ranked matches.
We hope you enjoyed this overview of what to expect from Ranked Mode when Lemnis Gate launches on September 28. See you in the loop!

Greetings Operatives!
Reporting in for our final Operative Profile – our series where we look at the weapons, skills, and abilities of Lemnis Gate's deep space operatives. We’ll also be giving you a bit of insight into the Operative’s backstory, and what has guided the path of their lives until the time we are playing in. Your teams are made of specialists in their fields, from soldiers to scientists, which have been brought together by Lemnis Industries to help save humanity from utter extinction.
This week’s profile features Quentin Anderson, an operative known by the codename “Rush”. A decorated soldier, he jumped at the chance to test early versions of Lemnis’ Kinetic Booster. Speed is where he excels, so we can’t wait to see what quick-witted strategies you come up with to best put him to use.
Before joining the military, Quentin grew up on the sunny shores of Jamaica and takes great pride in his cultural heritage. Due to this, when he’s not deployed or training, he prefers to take it slow and spend time enjoying the little things in life. Still a kid at heart, his favourite down-time activity is snacking on cereal while watching cartoons.
As mentioned prior, Rush was approached by Lemnis Industries as they saw his skill and speed in the field and knew he’d be the perfect candidate to test their Kinetic Booster, and he was thrilled for the opportunity. Similar to a jetpack, he wears this pack on his back during combat and uses it to amplify his already-impressive agility. However, his favourite part is its propulsion technology that allows him to maintain his agility while in midair – luckily his suit is fire retardant!
Rounding out Rush’s arsenal are his Dual Shredders, a pair of double machine guns that fire at a speed that rivals his own – but be wary, their high rate of fire is offset by a low damage output, so you’ll have to be strategic about where you target. His manoeuvrability allows you to get more done per loop than other operatives, so we recommend experimenting with how to work this in your favour.
Depending on the round and the Game Mode you’re playing, how you want to approach utilising Rush may change. During a round of Retrieve XM, deploying Rush early to get ahead of the objective and collect multiple points may put you at an early advantage. However, keeping him until the end and then making the most of his map traversal could allow you to nab any leftover XM from the field. You’ll have to consider your options and pick the best strategy for your gameplay style.
Of course, Rush’s map traversal can help in far more situations than that. By using his Kinetic Boosters, he can clear gaps that would leave other operatives hanging. Use this to your advantage, whether it's Rush-ing to a key moment nobody else could reach to change the tide of time in your favour, dodging a trap that others couldn’t bypass, or more – whatever strategy you use, just don’t forget to keep your wit as quick as his gunfire.
Not only can Rush be used for early advantages and late-game nabs, he can also work great as support for your own team. Did you fail to complete an objective or not do enough damage during a loop? Or perhaps an enemy operative has snagged a target before you could? With Rush, you can fix that. Zipping into the fray as your own backup can get you those last few points to cinch the match. These strategies only scratch the surface of what is possible, as there are so many ways to take advantage of the agility offered to you by Quentin Anderson, a.k.a. Rush. What do you think of him and his abilities? Will you deploy him early in order to get a lead on your opponent, or save him for the final round? We’re sure you’re already thinking of ways to best deploy him, so let us know some of your ideas in the comments!

Greetings Operatives!
Welcome to Solitude, one of several off-world sites used by Lemnis Industries in their project to save humanity. We're here to provide you with some intel on the site, to better prepare you if sent there for missions.
As you'll be able to see from the surveillance photos, the Solitude site sits on a snow-covered mountainside, and is surrounded by boulders and ice, meaning it could be a considerably tricky location to traverse; you'll be needing to keep your wits about you.
Legend has it that the name Solitude stems from the site's construction team; starting off as a team of twelve, all but one member died during an extreme snowstorm. In the months leading up to a rescue team arriving on site, the sole survivor worked entirely alone; once back, he never spoke again.
Your mission at the Solitude site will be to assist the Lemnis Gate project in maintaining a steady flow of energy for operations, in one of two ways: either by protecting a pair of Resistors, which contain and stabilize XM to allow us to draw on a near limitless supply of raw energy, or, by destroying these Resistors to prevent potentially damaging energy surges. Either way, unknown assailants are standing by to try and prevent you from reaching your objective.
As you can see from the surveillance photos, the large central bunker is likely to draw the most conflict, with multiple points of entry and little cover leaving you particularly vulnerable to attack as you attempt to make it over to the Resistors. We'd recommend utilising a combination of speed and the little cover you do have here to make it safely across this area and reach the Resistors.
If you're tasked with attacking Resistors, making use of the multiple entry points to the main bunker are a great way to help compensate for your lack of cover as you approach them, and some well-placed sniper and rocket shots mean you'll be able to attack from a safe distance! On the other hand, if you're on the defensive, you're going to want to make the most of Proximity Mines and Attack Pods, particularly on any blind spots, to save you being ambushed by the enemy - and don't forget, toxic chemicals from Toxin's Tox Cannon could be very useful when covering multiple entrances!
Whilst it could be tempting to allow all of the action to play out inside the covered spaces within Solitude, you'd be remiss not to take advantage of the ice-covered pathways and the additional cover they provide; whether you're attacking or defending the Resistors, this space could be perfect for ambushing the enemy as they attempt to utilise one of the various bunker entrances and exists, and may prove a useful space for some Proximity Mines and Attack Pods.
Good luck out there, Operatives. Don't forget: Earth's future is in your hands.

Lemnis Gate is a strange looking thing. It's a turn-based strategy FPS on a time loop, a counter-intuitive mashup of genres if there ever was one, but it also somehow seems to work: We were "really impressed" by our recent preview session, saying the game "feels like it borrows just enough from each [genre] to create a unique, yet fast-paced experience where there's always room to improve."..

Welcome, Operatives!
The Quantum Highway has opened once again and a new signal has come through.
The second Lemnis Gate Developer Diary is now available for viewing on YouTube. Game Director James Anderson and 3D Artist Corey Kasperski from Ratloop Games Canada, and Community Manager Jens Erik Vaaler from Frontier break down the game's Modes and Match Types.
If you're unable to watch the Dev Diary, we've gathered the core information about Lemnis Gate's Game Modes and Match Types below.
Game Modes: Players will be able to enjoy 4 separate Game Modes in Lemnis Gate: Retrieve XM, Domination, Seek & Destroy, and Deathmatch. Each puts a unique spin on FPS staples thanks to the 25 second time loop mechanic at the center of Lemnis Gate's gameplay:
Retrieve XM
In this mode you need to collect Exotic Matter (XM) and return it to your base in order to power the Lemnis Gate, while preventing your enemies from doing the same. The team holding the most XM Pods by the end of the fifth round is declared victorious. Anything can happen when timelines and actions start stacking on top of each other, and nothing is set until the very end.
Domination
Domination is all about map control. You'll need to work smart to capture and control Particle Accelerators spread across the map. Whoever controls the most by the end of the fifth round is declared the winner. Accelerators are activated on impact and can be quickly triggered by shooting at them. Set up traps to funnel your enemy into a disadvantageous position, and use whatever opportunities you can do seize the Accelerators.
Seek & Destroy
Seek and Destroy puts you in the role of either attacker or defender. The attacking team has five rounds to destroy Resistors, while the defending team tries to prevent the assault. If any resistors are destroyed by the end of the fifth round, the defending team loses. Once the first half of the match is over, the teams swap roles and the second half begins.
Deathmatch
As the name suggestions, this mode lets you face off against your opponent(s) in a straight up deathmatch, but with a time loop twist.
Which Game Mode sounds the most exciting to you? Will you challenge your friends in Retrieve XM, or take them to task in Deathmatch? Let's hear what your favourite is!
Match Types: In Lemnis Gate, there are multiple ways to play the game, depending on your preference. These can be mixed and matched by number of players and how you want the turn-based time loop mechanic to play out.
1v1
Do you enjoy playing solo? Then 1v1 is the Match Type for you. Here you face off against a single opponent over the course of a match to determine who controls the greatest team of operatives
2v2
If you prefer the company of others you can dive into a 2v2 Match Type, where you and a friend face off against two other players as you battle over the objectives.
Turn-based
Turn-based combat is the core Lemnis Gate experience. In each match you will play five 25 second rounds, and your actions will loop and repeat in subsequent rounds. You and your opponent take turns adding your operatives to the time loop, but you won't know who's won until the final round.
Simultaneous
Simultaneous is the Match Type for players looking for a different type of challenge. Players add their operatives into the loop at the same time, but time still loops and repeats!
Online play is the fundamental experience of Lemnis Gate, where you'll be matched against opponents of a similar skill level through our matchmaking system in the different Match Types. However, due to the turn-based nature of Lemnis Gate, one of the great additional features of the game is that you can play offline by passing the controller back and forth between players in the same room.
Cross-matchmaking is also available! This is an optional feature that enables you to play against Operatives from any platform, however if you’d prefer to only play against Operatives on the same platform this can be changed in the settings. In addition, those who are looking to challenge their friends can do so in private matches as long as you’re on the same platform. Private matches may not reward XP, but you will be able to determine who has the ultimate bragging rights between you and your friends!
There are a lot of different ways you can play Lemnis Gate and we hope you now have a better grasp of the Game Modes and Match Types you have available in the game. Don't forget to follow us on all our social channels: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. You should also join the official Lemnis Gate Discord server to talk everything Lemnis Gate with the rest of the community and the developers from Ratloop Games Canada.
