π° What Happened
Selaco, a first-person shooter built in the old Doom engine, is getting an update that doubles the length of the game. It is called Selaco: The Machines of War and arrives on November 13.
The update adds chapter two, with 19 new maps and about six to eight hours of story. Developer Altered Orbit calls it an absolute behemoth. New weapons include a minigun and a heavy machine gun that fires explosions.
Players also get deployable turrets, drones and big weapons they can pick up and throw away.
π The Backstory
Selaco launched in early access on Steam in 2024. It is inspired by F.E.A.R., Half-Life and System Shock, and its first chapter alone is as long as some entire 1990s shooters.
The update rewrites the enemy AI from scratch and adds a rally system plus patrols, so fights start when you choose. The first chapter also gets new set pieces and surprises.
Old saves will not work after the update, but new players can start directly at chapter two.
π― Why It Matters
A big update can pull an older game back into the spotlight. It also gives people who already own Selaco hours of new content.
