The developers are in the community every day. Alpha invites, feature votes and patch notes land there first.
What is RETAKE?
RETAKE is a competitive first-person shooter from Codnyx Studio. It combines the raw movement, community servers and mod culture of golden-era shooters with the tight gunplay, loadouts and one-life Search & Destroy of modern military shooters.
When is the alpha?
RETAKE is currently in pre-alpha. Closed alpha playtests are next, followed by an open beta. Alpha invitations will go out through our Discord community first.
Which platforms will RETAKE release on?
RETAKE is launching on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. You will be able to wishlist it on both stores.
Is RETAKE free to play?
Pricing has not been announced yet. What we can promise: no pay-to-win. Health, armour and weapons are equal for everyone, and progression unlocks cosmetics and status only.
What does open matchmaking mean?
Public matchmaking uses ping, region, party and input type. There is no hidden skill rating. There is no engagement-optimised lobby manipulation.
Can I host my own server?
Yes. RETAKE supports community dedicated servers, LAN and listen servers, direct connect and a server browser. Community and modded servers are clearly labelled and separate from official progression.
Will RETAKE support mods?
Yes. Modded servers have their own browser pool with a clear MODDED badge. Content packages are signed and verified, and are only downloaded with your consent.
How does RETAKE stop wallhacks?
With server-side fog of war. The server only sends you enemies you could legitimately see or who are about to become visible. An enemy fully hidden behind cover is simply not on your machine, so ESP and wallhacks have nothing to reveal.
How does lag compensation work?
The server records each player's real pose and rewinds, within a bounded 75 ms round-trip window, to where the target was when you fired. It then validates the shot authoritatively. High ping can't be abused to shoot far into the past.
Will there be a new RETAKE every year?
No. RETAKE is one game, improved continuously with its community. New maps, modes and features arrive as updates, many of them voted on by players.
How can I vote on features?
Join the RETAKE Discord. Feature proposals are posted there, discussed with the developers and voted on by the community.
