We recently revealed Barlowe Square with the "Hunted" game-mode and today we released "Extraction" as promised. We're currently working on further optimizing and polishing Barlowe Square as well as "Escape" but we haven't stopped there as work on a new firearm.
April 11th we will release a more optimized version of Contagion with improved AI, Full Release final features (more to come later), fully polished, and following the release we will continue with our Contagion SDK release, Achievements, Steamworks, Gametracker, Sourcemod, new content, even more free content in the form of Free DLC bundles. While we're excited we also quite nervous even with all the praise and support of our community which we're incredibly grateful for.
We have some exciting stuff coming up we've kept to our selves as a surprise to our community and we hope you'll be just as stoked as we are when we reveal it. That said we just finished our Recent Facebook competition with numerous entries and will be announcing the winners on the 20th!
We look forward to announcing the winners and future winners!
