You think you're ready? That's cute.




Our decidedly most chill secret level to date.



Because something tells us you're going to need it.



They can be tested in Sandbox Mode currently and will eventually be used in the Cyber Grind and upcoming Encore levels with alternate enemy placements...



Sam would be proud.




Created entirely by (paid) ULTRAKILL community developer Vvizard, this massive structure houses many halls, many balls, a working movie theater, an aquarium... and maybe even some secrets.



It was designed and built as a testament to ALL of the talented people who have contributed work to ULTRAKILL over the years, and we hope you enjoy exploring it much more than a simple credits screen.



But enough about that....

Machines, first of all we must THANK YOU for the reception to Act II.

This filthy robot army has grown bigger and better than we could have ever imagined.

You prayed for salvation from boredom, and hopefully... we delivered.

Now, after some much deserved rest, Hakita and the team have been at work on the next update.

It will contain...

P-2:



5-S:



The new Rocket Launcher variation:

And...

If you're expecting it this year, however? Alas, it is not to be.

This update will arrive early in 2023. Which is not far away now.

New weapon variations and carefully balancing a challenge the likes of P-2 take time.

So please be patient.

But know this, if you thought P-1 and Minos Prime were hard?

A HAHAHAHA

• Fixed the falling Malicious Face instakill not working on enemies who were already inside its trigger before it started falling
  
• Fixed "Major Assists Enabled" popup reappearing whenever stepping over the spawn position in the Sandbox
  
• Items with physics can no longer be pushed off pedestals they've been placed on, causing the pedestal to become unusable
  
• Multi-skull doors will no longer close if one skull is removed

This is what you've been waiting for, machines.

Limbo, Lust… Gluttony and Greed... all gone.

Now Wrath and Heresy await you.

Your kind know nothing but hunger, purged all life on the upper layers, and yet you remain... unsatiated.

BEHOLD THE CONCLUSION OF ULTRAKILL: ACT 2: IMPERFECT HATRED
