SUPPLICE IS LEAVING EARLY ACCES THIS YEAR!!!!

We are incredibly excited to confirm that Supplice will officially be leaving Early Access at the end of this year!

THE JOURNEY SO FAR

It started in spring 2023 with Episode 1, deep below the surface, with a pilebunker in hand, a deep space mining colony already being torn apart by the alien invasion, and Charon pulling players into the whole cosmic mess. Later that year, 

Episode 2 pushed the journey into colder, tighter, more hostile places, with new weapons, new enemies, and another step through the Flux Gates in search of a way out. 

In 2024, Episode 3 carried the fight into the Frozen Wastes, adding more firepower, more threats, and more pieces of the story behind Charon, the colony, and the war spreading far beyond one world. 

Then Episode 4 arrived in 2025 and dropped players onto a massive factory moon full of molten metal, brutal machinery, and a desperate fight for oxygen in its lethal outer space environments, with enemies built to make every spot a possible death trap.

And now, we are slamming the gas pedal straight through the floor.

We are dropping a fresh update today, but we aren't stopping there. 

We are officially accelerating the deployment schedule!

This year, you aren't just getting one, but two brand-new episodes, which means Supplice will hit its full 1.0 release before the end of this year!

The new update brings the first map of Episode 5, a secret level, a new boss fight, and a fresh set of lethal hazards and upgraded defenses built to punish bad movement, bad timing, and every second spent in the wrong place.

This time, surviving will not be just about shooting fast enough.

Expect:

  • Artillery bombardments tearing across the battlefield

  • Crushing walls

  • Laser traps

  • Upgraded automated turrets

  • Rising lava

  • Industrial fans pushing intruders straight into corrosive liquid

And yes - there is a new boss fight waiting in the secret level.

LEAVING EARLY ACCESS

All of this is building up to the biggest Supplice milestone yet. We are incredibly excited to confirm that Supplice will officially be leaving Early Access at the end of this year!

Chapter 5 is planned for September, with Chapter 6 planned for the end of the year.

The team is hard at work bringing the final pieces of the game together for the 1.0 launch. 

We want to take a moment to thank every single one of you who has played, provided feedback, reported issues, and supported us throughout the Early Access journey.

We could not have done it without you.

Lock and load, and get ready for September.

Stay strange,
The Supplice Team
