The developers behind REPO have unveiled exciting plans for future updates, including introducing a "duck bucket" mechanic to prevent the notorious duck from eliminating players. Discover what's coming next and how Lethal Company's creator views this emerging horror title.

Inside REPO's First Major Update

Containing The Threat: The Duck Bucket Solution

Semiwork Studios confirmed their inaugural update will feature fresh gameplay elements, including a new map and the strategic "duck bucket" tool for neutralizing the game's feathered menace. The development team shared insights via YouTube on March 15th, detailing these upcoming changes.

REPO delivers a heart-pounding cooperative horror experience for up to six players, challenging teams to carefully scavenge items within terrifying environments. Players must constantly watch for The Apex Predator - an innocent-looking yellow duck that morphs into a deadly monster whenever disturbed, remaining hostile for exactly ten seconds before reverting.

The forthcoming duck bucket mechanic will allow players to safely contain this persistent threat, preventing both unwanted pursuit and accidental transformations caused by teammates. Alongside this crucial addition, players can anticipate enhanced character expressions and various quality-of-life refinements.

Introducing The Museum & Matchmaking Improvements

Semiwork Studios revealed plans for "The Museum," a challenging new environment designed to test players' mobility skills. This innovative map will feature clearly marked extraction zones, eliminating guesswork about valid loot retrieval areas.

The developers acknowledged overwhelming player requests for improved matchmaking systems. "After reviewing community feedback, we're prioritizing public/private lobby options with host moderation tools," they stated. "While creating these server-side features presents technical challenges for our team, we're committed to delivering this functionality."

Due to the complexity of implementing these networking solutions, fans should anticipate potential delays beyond initial estimates.

Lethal Company Creator's Constructive Feedback

Since its February launch, REPO has drawn natural comparisons to Lethal Company due to shared cooperative horror mechanics. Zeekers, creator of the viral hit, offered his candid evaluation in a March 15th Twitter thread, highlighting areas for potential refinement:

"REPO delivers genuine fun. Initial concerns about movement speed and restrictive voice chat faded when coordinating ridiculous objectives like maneuvering a grand piano through haunted corridors - absolute horror comedy gold."

He expanded in subsequent comments: "Two key observations: 1) Voice chat needs wider range and less muffling. 2) The design excels in tight spaces - sprawling environments feel less cohesive. The mansion layouts showcase REPO's strongest gameplay moments."

Responding to concerns about silent enemy approaches, Zeekers noted: "Players definitely need clearer indicators about enemy behaviors - though I expect this is already on the developers' radar."

Currently dominating Steam charts as the platform's second best-selling title (trailing only Counter-Strike 2), REPO has already attracted over 230,000 concurrent players - nearing Lethal Company's all-time peak. This PC-exclusive horror phenomenon continues gaining momentum daily.
