Intravenous 3: Borderline — Free Prologue Announced & Playtest Live Now

Hey everyone!

It’s been a while since we properly talked about what we’ve been building for Intravenous 3. Today, we finally have something substantial to show.

We’re announcing Intravenous 3: Borderline — a completely free standalone prologue to Intravenous 3.

Intravenous 3: Borderline launches for free on October 2. Wishlist now!

And you won’t have to wait long to get your hands on it.

The playtest starts today.

INTRAVENOUS 3: BORDERLINE

Nothing left to lose. No reason to hold back.

Borderline puts you in the shoes of Gideon, a feared mercenary who narrowly survived his confrontation with Steve.

Once hired to protect a corrupt politician, Gideon has now lost everything. What remains is a trail leading back to those responsible, and one simple motivation — revenge.

Borderline tells its story across two full missions, giving you a first taste of Gideon’s story and the new direction we’re taking the gameplay in Intravenous 3.

THE PLAYTEST IS LIVE NOW

But there’s another reason we’re talking about Borderline today.

You can play one of its missions right now.

We’re opening the current version of the game for a public playtest to see how its systems hold up once they’re in your hands.

Your feedback will help us identify what works, what doesn’t, and what needs more work before Borderline launches for everyone.

To get access, head to the Intravenous 3 Steam page and click “Join the Playtest.”

The playtest will remain available for one week.

After playing, you can leave your feedback in the dedicated thread on Discord.

Join the playtest and jump in today.

REVENGE HAS A NAME

Intravenous 3 is getting closer, and Borderline is the first proper opportunity to see what we’ve been working on.

The prologue will be completely free, standalone, and available to everyone on October 2.

For now, though, we want to hear from you.

Gideon survived.

For everyone responsible, that was the mistake.

See you in the playtest.
