Whereas there is not any launch date for the replace but, we all know a minimum of just a few highlights which can be on the best way, together with a brand new map, facial expressions, high quality of life updates, and, most significantly, the duck bucket.
I’ve misplaced depend of what number of occasions my mates and I’ve died in REPO due to the lovable, lethal duck. If you happen to’re in the identical camp, there’ll quickly be a treatment.

On high of that, the primary replace may also embody a brand new map referred to as “The Museum.” The devs hinted of their announcement video that this map will function extra alternatives for parkour. So, if you have not misplaced a spherical of REPO to an ill-advised leap but, you will get loads of possibilities to check your ability (and your luck) within the museum.
Some high quality of life enhancements are on the best way, as nicely, together with a visual border at extraction factors, which can help you clearly see when an merchandise is out of bounds.
