While we work on our sword DLC, we thought it'd be awesome to host an art contest since you all are so damn creative!

• Contest will be taking place on our discord servers! Trepang2[discord.gg] & Ghostrunner2[discord.gg]
  
• The overall theme is "Trepang 2 x Ghostrunner 2" - You must include elements from both games in your art submissions.
  
• A submission channel will open January 17 and close at January 24.
  
• Voting will then begin January 24 and end January 31.
  
• Winners will then be announced some time on February 1.
  
• There will be 10 winners for the event.
  
• Potential to win Trepang 2, Ghostrunner 2 keys, and more!

Rules:

1. Art will be defined as anything that's a creative medium.
   
2. Each attendee can have one submission max.
   
3. NSFW is not allowed, but minor gore is fine.
   
4. No slurs, hate-speech, bigotry - just follow the server rules.
   
5. Art must follow the theme of both games
   
6. No AI art permitted

Best of luck everyone and lurk in our discords for the event launch announcement on January 17!

Throughout the past six months, we've seen a steady growth of interest for our goofy ah game, and we cannot thank each and everyone one of you enough. So instead we wanted to take this opportunity to let you homies know what we got goin on at Trepang Studios, what's next, and what to expect.

---

What we've been working on

• Build-a-Merc
  
• GOG Update
  
• Horde Mode Music Randomizer
  
• Merch
  
• Story & Sword DLC

Okay, hear us out. How cool would it be to create your own NPCs to fight along side you, or to blast into clown dust? From the beginning of development, we've been wanting to add the option for the player to create their own NPCs. Changing things like their camo, hats, glasses, etc, and overall just fun goofy stuff. We hope to have this ready by the Sword DLC release.

If you bought the game on GOG, we hear you. Due to unforeseen circumstances (lol) our GOG release will be updated in January. There is unfortunately nothing else I can report on that at this current moment, and apologize for the huge delay. We hear you, we agree with you, January.

NO LONGER will you hear the same 5 songs on the beginning of your horde runs lmao. Songs are now randomized and will display the song name so you won't have to painstakingly go through the OST to find the jam to lift your weights to.

WE HAVE MERCH[trepang2-shop.fourthwall.com]
Including but not limited to:
To be released in 2024, we have a new DLC approaching. Not much we want say at this moment, other than anticipate slicing and dicing nerds that look at you funny.

---

As we've been hard at work on more DLC for Trepang2, you homies have been hard at work making amazing screenshots and fan art of Trepang2. We want to take this opportunity to thank you all so much, and to show everyone some (and definitely not all) stuff that some people have made for us our Discord[www.trepang2.com].

this is trepang studios right now basicallyThank you for always being patient while the 4 of us make sure things go even smoother than we could imagine. We are so grateful for each and everyone of you for playing, telling your friends about it, streaming it, let alone read this news post. ♥

While you homies were playing Trepang2, we were viciously taking notes on what worked, what didn't work, and what we can do about it. During that, we also have been working with a rad porting studio Kittehface on getting Xbox Series X/S & PS5 ports this year.

We've just submitted Patch 1 for approval, we'll let you know once it goes through all the processes and is available to download.

Do you guys want a sword?
-B ♥

We can’t believe we’re finally typing out these words. What a rollercoaster of a journey for the devs here at Trepang Studios. Thank you for the endless support and determination to help us see Trepang2 through to release, we thoroughly appreciate every single one of you.

Please don’t hesitate to share your feedback with us, we’re so excited to see what you think of your voyage of destruction with the relentless Subject 106. Enjoy the carnage. Enjoy reprimanding those that have the gumption to contend with your abilities; your unwavering, unadulterated focus to getting the job done.

Retribution awaits… Conspiracies are there to be unravelled... Unimaginable horrors will greet you...


Acquaint yourselves with carnage and horror in our launch trailer
 

• Over-the-top action: Dive into a bullet-filled world of death and destruction and put your combat skills to the test against thousands of highly trained special forces operatives, cultists, and otherworldly foes, who are out for your blood 
  
  
• Explosive Campaign and Horde modes: Play through a thrilling campaign and unravel a deadly supernatural conspiracy, or take on waves of ruthless spec-ops forces and see how long you can survive 
  
  
• Become enhanced: Master an arsenal of game-changing supernatural abilities including time distortion, invisibility, superhuman speed, and otherworldly strength to dominate your enemies 
  
  
• Brutal melee combat: Pulverise foes in close quarters melee combat and eviscerate what’s left in rapid fire gunfights. Punch, kick, slide and string together combos to crush enemies to dust. 

The SPAS-12 will play a key part in our quest for demolition

106's cloaking ability offers inconspicuous slaughter

You have two hands for a reason

Trepang2 is our bloodstained love letter to first-person-shooters from the early 2000s. This journey features the carnage fuelled, bullet-ridden world of mayhem that you'd expect - but horrific realities also exist. The malevolent Silicon Valley HORIZON corp is experimenting with truly inconceivable abominations that you must uncover. It is your duty to contend with these other worldly, extraterrestrial-like foes and destroy them.

HORIZON will be waiting. They know you're free. They know what to throw at you. They think you can be beaten. Show them otherwise.

This is Trepang2. We hope you have a blast.

An abomination..
