Dev Update: Movement & Mobility

The build in this test largely reflects the work we did throughout 2025. Heading into 2026, with our eyes on another playtest in the summer, we’ll be working on:

  • Advanced movement abilities like wall-run

  • Advanced movement mechanics like wall-kicking and tap-strafing

  • Polishing our fluid, momentum-based mobility mechanics

  • Making WTF a Steam Deck native title

  • Dialing in our controller and handheld controls to match mouse and keyboard

  • Preparing our new cinematic trailer for release in Summer 2026

If you haven’t already, you can request access to the playtest on our store page. Wish list the game if you haven’t (it will help us dominate the upcoming Steam PvP Fest!) Finally, join us on our Discord to stay up to date on everything playtest related.
