'An absolute behemoth': Wildly ambitious FPS Selaco is getting a massive update that doubles its size and adds 'a heavy machinegun that fires literal explosions'

If you're a fan of first-person shooters and haven't played Selaco, you should. Built in the Doom engine and inspired by FEAR, Half-Life and System Shock, Selaco is a rollicking, dizzyingly ambitious sci-fi FPS where you battle a mercenary incursion of a vast, city-sized space station that's home to the last of humanity.

Launched into Steam early access in 2024, Selaco's first chapter alone is as long as some entire '90s shooters. Now, developer Altered Orbit Studios is preparing to release an update that will not only double the length of the game, but also introduce a wide array of new features and rework much of its existing design.

Described by Altered Orbit as "an absolute behemoth", Selaco: The Machines of War introduces the second of a planned three chapters to the FPS. Chapter two comprises 19 new campaign maps, which apparently amounts to "6-8 hours of additional content". Alongside further story elements and a voice for the protagonist, the chapter also introduces what sounds like a persistent enemy, in the form of "an unstoppable machine" that is "hunting you down."

Naturally, this second chapter also adds new weapons and enemies, with the former including a minigun and "a heavy machine gun that fires literal explosions". I don't know how that would work, but I'm keen to find out! Alongside your equipped arsenal, players will be able to use new deployable weapons like mini-turrets and sentinel drones, while the update also introduces a "heavy ordnance system" that lets you wield large, disposable weapons scattered across the battlefield, Gears of War -style.
