Overview

  • Project lead KingDavidW and the volunteer team at wiltOS are building a Community Edition with Ubisoft’s approval and Valve’s support, targeting release on Steam with Workshop integration described as likely.
  • The game remains on Source 1 but moves to a newer SDK that brings greater stability and direct code access for fixes and expansion, including a major refactor of the existing co‑op mod.
  • A Lite Edition of the RTX Remix build is available for public testing on GitHub, and it requires the wiltOS Dark Messiah Mod Launcher and the Advanced SDK Base Module.
  • Existing community mods are being migrated to the new foundation over time, with new systems such as collectible runes that unlock gameplay mutators and Elements multiplayer maps being ported to PC.
  • The team repurposed Alien Swarm’s TileGen into a multi‑floor procedural dungeon generator and is recruiting contributors, including mappers and translators, while preparing a new content delivery system.
