Hi everyone :)
Here is the breakdown of what is included in today's patch:
Choose Your Landing: Deploying from the chopper now prompts you with three distinct drop zone options for every single objective. Plan your route carefully!
Gore Mode & Custom Rules: Things are getting significantly messier. You can now toggle the new Gore Mode directly from the Custom Rules menu. More blood and you may be able to loose your head... While you are tweaking your lobby settings, remember you can also enable double huge monsters if you really want to push your luck.
Take Control of the Front Page: After wrapping up an objective, you can interact directly with the lobby's headline display to swap in your best photo from the run. Choose wisely, because once you go to another mission, it is locked in!
Gallery Upgrades: We have smoothed out the photo gallery with several quality-of-life enhancements and resolved related display issues.
General Polish: We kept busy hunting down and squashing various background bugs under the hood to improve overall stability.
Have fun out there!
Hey everyone !! Hope you are all doing great !
Here is a very quick breakdown of what is coming in our next patch:
Selectable Drop Zones: Leaving the helicopter now gives you three location choices per objective. Pick your preferred route, or the one guaranteed to get your friends killed! :)
Gore Mode: New toggle added. Prepare for blood and decapitated journalists.
Custom Headlines: After finishing an objective, you can now select which photo is featured as the headline in the lobby.
Gallery Improvements: Upgraded the photo gallery for better quality of life and fixed related issues.
Bug Fixes: Continued general bug squashing under the hood.
In the meantime, have fun!
Hey everyone ! Today we're introducing....
Buongiorno Venezia ! New Exterior Map
A brand new exterior map! It is a cool setting but a very dangerous environment. Watch your back, it is tight!
3 New Aliens
We added three new monsters to the roster! Good luck surviving them!
Pure Chaos Option in Custom Games (Experimental)
This one is wild! In custom games, you can now spawn more than one huge creatures in one session! We tried it with the team and it was total destruction, so we wanted to share it with you! Warning: It is experimental! It might bug out or be weird! It is not balanced, just pure fun chaos!
New Emotes
New emotes added! Check out the 3rd one, it is my favorite!
And of course, we fixed some bugs and other minor changes to keep the game smooth.
Have fun everyone !!
Hey everyone! Our newest update just dropped and this time, we’re leaving the US… 🛫
This update introduces two brand-new Paris maps, each with their own interior environments, plus two new alien types in the exterior zones. We also made some smaller tweaks and fixes to improve your overall experience.
We really hope you’ll love exploring these new maps as much as we loved making them !
🧠 This is our first step outside of the US… so if it’s something you enjoy, we’d love to keep going! As I previously said, if you got ideas for other cities, drop them in comment, we’re all ears 👀
Enjoy & bonne chance out there!
The KAFI Team 💛
Just a quick heads-up: we’ve been quietly working on a new update lately, and it’s almost ready 👀
New aliens, new maps… and yes, we’re finally leaving the US 😎 - if you like it we can make other cities, or make new ones in NY, you tell us !
We’re planning to launch the update mid to late October, so just a few more weeks to wait!
In the meantime, here’s a little teaser 👇
Hope you like UFOs… and Paris 🙃
More very soon!

Hope you're all having a great summer! ☀️ We just dropped a fresh new update, and here’s what’s on the menu:
🏛️ New Map: Say hello to The White House! Our first map outside New York! ... and maybe not the last... 👀 Comes with its own interior, of course.
👾 New Alien: The Jumper has landed (inside). Expect surprise visits. From above.
🧰 New Tools:
Airstrike Flare: Call in an airstrike (only works outside, and yes, it can definitely hit your friends)
Parachute: For stylish, safer landings
Defibrillator: Bring back teammates, NPCs... or even aliens. Not judging.
🐛 And as always, some bug fixes & small improvements!
Have fun out there, and let us know what you think. Happy summer everyone! 💛
Hope you're all enjoying your summer! We've been a little quieter than usual lately, we took a bit of time off (much needed :)) and also spent some time thinking about what’s next for us and the game !
But don’t worry! We’ve been cooking up some new stuff for you! We’re aiming to drop a new update early August (fingers crossed). This one will focus mostly on new tools, a brand new interior alien and a whole new map interior AND exterior! (Can you guess what the theme will be? )
Of course, we’ll also include more bug fixes and optimization tweaks as always.
I’ll share more in the coming days and weeks, but in the meantime… here’s a little GIF teaser
Stay tuned & have fun!!
