Intravenous 3 continues to polish and build upon various gameplay mechanics present in the first two games, and one such feature is going prone. Previously, going prone meant reducing your visibility and breaking lines of sight at the expense of total vulnerability, should combat find you. Intravenous 3 builds upon prone by allowing the player to use all weapons and most gadgets while laying down. This presents not only new possibilities for combat, but also stealth - no longer do you have to get up to use the HSR-EMP or any other gadget that disrupts electrical devices. This means more possib

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4383190/Intravenous_3/ With Intravenous 3, we continue to work on and polish the little things that made the previous two games fun. In Intravenous 1, enemies would react to noise made by the player instantly. This made certain elements of stealth rather annoying - the player would be punished for making the slightest mistake with an instant reaction. One of the improvements IV2 brought over IV1 were timed reactions to noise - the reaction depended on the type of noise and distance to the NPC. No longer were you punished with an instant reaction to noise the

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!

Hey folks! A week ago, the Steam page for Intravenous 3 went live together with the game’s first trailer. And in just one week, the page has already gathered 33k wishlists. For comparison, the original Intravenous reached that number only after release. Intravenous 2 took 3 months to get there. Thank you for your attention to the game and for the trust you’ve shown. We're doing our best to make this the best Intravenous game in the series. Will be back with more details soon. See you soon.

Hey folks! I'm happy to announce Intravenous 3 is now available for wishlisting on Steam! Together with HypeTrain Digital, we are developing the third entry in the series, one that is more ambituous than Intravenous 2. 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. If you've been here since Intravenous

Hey folks! This update features several fixes and backports from the ongoing development of Intravenous 3. BASE GAME CHANGES - improved pathfinding - instances of goons getting stuck, or unable to pathfind to certain positions, should now be resolved and other similar instances should occur far less often - improved AI cover stare logic - reduces instances where NPCs are clearly capable of watching some kind of pathway, but aren't - improved tile visibility baking for static light sources - fixed NPC obstacle avoidance not functioning correctly, potentially leading to NPCs getting stuck in wor
