Powered by Unreal Engine, Ripout explores humanity's fight for survival thousands of miles away from Earth in the not-so-distant future.

The game is set in the 21st century after humanity reached beyond Earth to conquer the solar system. The golden age of humanity began, but it would quickly turn disastrous. Alien forces emerged and Earth's inhabitants had to find a way to keep them at bay. After genetically engineering a powerful but dangerous bioweapon to fend off alien invaders, humanity falls victim to its own creation. The cell turned sentient, causing those soldiers to transform into mutants.

You wake up in the year 2084 as one of the last surviving Earth's soldiers, the fate of humanity resting in your hands. Will you preserve mankind's legacy or will our race end up consumed by the sentient Cell?

Ripout is an online co-op horror FPS with elements of sci-fi. The game features procedurally generated missions with scaling difficulty, a living Pet Gun that accompanies the player and engages in combat against alien mutants, weapon and player customization, and much more. All of this is available against the backdrop of spaceships that are home to some of the most dangerous creatures. Players need to fight their way through these spaceships, undertake missions, and try to be one step ahead of humanity's number one enemy.

Ripout provides a great co-op experience where team play comes first. Fearless and gifted players and their friends are needed to stop cosmic horrors from taking over the world and infecting all living forms.

Your task is to fight off these mutants and save humanity.
