I look forward not only to the new expansion's levels but the "remix" of the original campaign with the new enemies and weapons and whatever else they add to it.

We're hard at work on the Aftershock expansion pack for Ion Fury, and we wanted to give you a little update on what's going on. Unfortunately, unforeseen delays have pushed back the release beyond our initial projections, but we're committed to not sacrificing quality in order to hit any specific deadline. Additional development time is needed to polish the new content and make sure it meets the high standards set by the base game.
We know how much everyone is looking forward to Aftershock and we appreciate your patience as we work to make the expansion another memorable experience. In the meantime, continue to enjoy Ion Fury and keep an eye out here for more information about Aftershock in the coming months.
For now, we can reveal that Aftershock will feature
13 all-new levels, one entirely new weapon, new inventory items, and several new enemy and ammo types.
There's also
Arrange Mode
, an amped-up remix of the entire original campaign with mirrored levels and modified enemy and item placement that introduce the enhanced loadout and enemy variety into the base game. And finally, by popular request, we're adding a
brand-new skill level 5
to ramp up the difficulty level even further for the most hardcore players.
For now, here are some screenshots of Aftershock in development!
Thank you all for your support of Ion Fury – we hope you've enjoyed playing it as much as we enjoyed making it and we can't wait for everyone to experience everything that Ion Fury: Aftershock has to offer!

Guess those types of devs / publishers never speak out unless you kick them in the nuts.

Years later, I'm starting to feel like I could revisit this world. I wouldn't play through the OC again but a new story might hold my interest for a playthrough.

They could always claim the release would be "When It's Done" :-P

I thought I'd revisit the game and see how it has improved. First time I played it shortly after release, before the first patch came out, and I had a lot of complaints even though I like the game overall. There were just so many issues that annoyed me and drag it down from 
to 
. Some of those issues should have been addressed by patches if the changelogs are to be believed.
Well, not really. In fact, it seems even worse than I remember.

Sorry. I feel better now. Can't wait for the DLC.

- The AI is broken. Enemies frequently get stuck in corners, and it's as bad as it's ever been. Every fight has like 2 or 3 cultists that get lost somewhere and are effectively disabled. Sometimes I find a few of them 30 minutes later while I'm backtracking and looking for secrets.
- The Loverboy is broken. Marking enemies with the secondary fire sometimes doesn't work. I think it has something to do with how the maps are divided into sectors, and you can't mark enemies from one sector to another? I don't know, I'm not a mapper. It also happens during hectic battles, of course, when I'm swiping the crosshair back and forth over an enemy like a retard, and it just won't lock on. Considering how useful this weapon is throughout the game, this is a major issue.
- Platforming is broken. The engine often eats my jumps, and I don't know why.
- Weapon switch isn't buffered while firing. You have to wait until the firing animation has finished before you can press another weapon key. But you can cancel reload animations by switching weapons. I don't get it.
- Annoying enemies with tiny and janky hitboxes. You could just remove all spiders and propeller skulls, and Ion Fury would be a better game. Especially the propellers because the "best" way to get rid of them is the broken Loverboy.
- The flying torsos with their homing missiles also still suck. The patch notes say they've added sound effects for the missiles so they won't surprisebuttsex you anymore. I'm not sure I've noticed any differences. But it wouldn't help much anyway. These enemies just suck. The AI wants to keep as much distance from you as possible, so they always end up hugging the far wall everywhere. Then they're hard to see because they blend in with the background. Or they disappear into a corner like the cultists and you have to dig them out. What a pain. Another problem is ...
- Poor feedback when taking damage. I get hit by a barrage of missiles that obliterates my entire 200 mega armor and I'm down to 30 HP. But I barely notice anything. Pain sounds? Screen flashing red? Any other effects? Virtually nothing.
- Despite being a powerful weapon, the crossbow looks, feels and sounds like a plastic toy that shoots hot air.
- Only a minor complaint because it's optional, but can we please get rid of all press-E-on-random-wall-to-reveal-one-medikit secrets? I'm beginning to hate them in Doom maps as well. Give me just 2 or 3 big secrets max per level. Then I'd be more motivated to look for cryptic hints.
...
Sorry. I feel better now. Can't wait for the DLC.
Really hope one could play "remixed" without mirrored levels tho.
twitch vod of the q&a they did yesterday. haven't watched yet

i hate the bombshell redesign so goddamn much. 
Bombshell Miranda Lawson?
Voidpoint made 3 tweets (with media) this week. Considering these are the average number of tweets they make yearly, I think it's safe to assume that they will give us a final release date today at the Realms Deep show.
EDIT: Will I ever get tired of being wrong?

That expansion must be coming some time soon?
Replace that faulty crystal ball of yours.
aftershock more like afterthought
this shit is never coming out

good fucking shit happen

They need to get this shit out the door pronto, the Fortune's Run demo was a much needed old-school shooter injection but it's not the 100% pure crystal meth that a real Build Engine game is. I know it's being so slow because "3D Realms" is a fucking scam company that's even worse than Bethesda the publisher were. Heard they don't even give these kids any money but just puts it out on the market when they get it done. I'd hate to see this one end up like WRATH: Aeon of Ruin once everyone has given up hope that it's ever going to be released and the devs leave one after another. In stark contrast to the shitty UE5 pixelshit by the numbers Phantom Fury (Did CDcuckprojekt steal the Phantom part trough corpo espionage or something? That's one weird fucking coincidence.) Aftershock looks dope as fuck.

Really though. Given how we now know about Phantom Fury and how it seems to have been 3DR's focus for a while, maybe that explains why so many other projects (whether this or other stuff like Kingpin remaster) seem to be more or less stalling.
I think Tempest Rising was the main focus for 3DR. It is basically the CEO's dream game.
