Out of Action

Out of Action entered Steam Early Access on January 22, 2026, and Doku Games has maintained a very active development pace since. The developer has been shipping substantive updates roughly every one to two weeks throughout the Early Access period, with the most recent update posted on August 10, 2026 — just nine days before today. These updates go well beyond routine maintenance. The August 8, 2026 update introduced the Gridlock game mode (a new asymmetric objective mode with its own ruleset), three additional body devices, a new movement maneuver (Wall Flick), and extensive weapons and shell balance changes. The July 1, 2026 update overhauled the progression system in response to community feedback, removing upgrade gates and adding the Codex — an in-game mechanic reference tool. Earlier updates brought the Clone War game mode, the Hangar training area with a firing range, and a work-in-progress dropship spawn system. On July 20, 2026, the developer explicitly stated that "current main focus is game modes and Codex entries," confirming that further content and systems are actively being developed. The Gridlock mode itself was described as "part 1" in the August 8 update, with notes that it "will need tuning and polish" — indicating this feature is still being built out. The game is clearly mid-development, with the developer actively communicating, shipping regular feature updates, and prioritizing new systems and modes.
