| Intravenous 3 Soundtrack Preview | 2026-05-08 | Hey folks! We're aware how important the soundtrack was to both Intravenous 1 & 2 - elevating the polar opposites of stealth and action gameplay.Xtrullor is once again composing for Intravenous 3, and we'd like to show you the music used in the trailer, as well as the calm ambience version of the track, which has not yet been published. We're hard at work making this the best Intravenous game in the trilogy, so please, have a listen to a small part of the game's soundtrack, while we pour our best efforts into the game. Thank you!

| Intravenous 3 Reached over 30,000 wishlists in a week | 2026-04-10 | Hey folks! A week ago, the Steam page for Intravenous 3 went live together with the game’s first trailer.

Steve and Sean are back, and this time they're on the receiving end of a relentless manhunt. Stealth or combat - the choice is yours, as it always has been, now with even more ways to play, and an even more reactive narrative. Intravenous 3 will be culmination of everything I wished Intravenous was back in 2021, when the first game launched.

| Update 1.5 - new weapon & more improvements! | 2024-05-02 | Hey folks! This patch optimizes the game some more, introduces a new weapon, and improves ultrawide monitor support, such as 21:9 and 28:9. The new weapon - Remington Model 700 - is a bolt-action rifle. It has a five round magazine, is slow to fire, and ammo for it is very difficult to find, however that is made up by it's near-perfect accuracy, high damage output, and low weight - it won't slow you down nearly as much as various other magazine-fed rifles. On the 'True' game difficulty, you can expect it to one-shot enemies with no problems. - added R700: - bolt-action rifle chambered in 7.62x51MM, with 5 rounds in the magazine, and low weigh |

But it is also, above all, a stealth game. Now you see me, now you don't Stealth in Intravenous 2 is multifaceted. Your HUD shows your light level and the amount of noise you're making.
