Intravenous 3 (full game)
Intravenous 3 is the full game — Steve and Sean surviving a manhunt, with a dynamic soundtrack and deeper builds. It arrives in Q2 2027.
Intravenous 3 is the full-length payoff: Steve and Sean, hunted together, in a story where the way you finish one mission changes what the next one becomes. It is dated Q2 2027 on Steam, and everything below is what the official record currently confirms — nothing is extrapolated.

The adaptation system, explained
The most interesting confirmed mechanic is how consequences compound. From the store description: "Blast your way through a mission, and you may find yourself trapped in a firefight on the way out. Stay unseen, and new opportunities will present themselves to you later in your journey."
Read that as: the game is watching how you solved a problem, and quietly changing the shape of the campaign around it. A mission that ended in a bloodbath can put you in an escape scenario at the start of the next beat; a clean ghost run opens doors a loud one never sees. One mission, two players, different games.
Borderline is your early preview of exactly these systems — the noise model, prone combat and reactive AI that the stealth and movement pages break down in detail all carry forward.
Wishlists, timeline and how to help the date
The project crossed 30,000 wishlists within a week of its reveal, per the developer's own April 2026 news post, and that number is the main lever fans can still pull: wishlisting the game is how a Q2 2027 window stays a Q2 2027 window. You can wishlist Intravenous 3 and Borderline separately — Borderline's wishlist is what will ping you at its October 2 unlock.
The release pipeline so far: announcement and devlogs through 2026, a Borderline playtest in September 2026 (5,000+ players, 100+ bugs fixed), Borderline launches October 2, 2026, full game in Q2 2027. The two later entries are the ones to hold loosely — dates slide, and we date-stamp every claim on this site.
What is still unknown
- Actual mission count, length and level list for the full game.
- Whether Borderline progress (or choices) carry into Intravenous 3 in any mechanical way.
- Price, editions and system requirements for the full release beyond the minimum posted on its store page.
We will update this hub as each of those gets an official answer, with the date of the change. Until then: play Borderline free on October 2, and let its two missions sell you on the manhunt to come.
