Introducing Hellsplit: Labyrinth

SayHelloToGruxsteam_community_announcements

23d ago

Hello Friends!

Hellsplit: Arena has given us so much - years of work we're proud of, and a community that stayed far longer than we dared hope. It taught us almost everything we know about VR combat.

But the ideas we're most excited about have slowly outgrown what Arena was built to hold. Instead of squeezing them into an aging game, we felt it was time to build something new around them.

Introducing Hellsplit: Labyrinth

We're excited to officially announce that the next chapter in the series will be Hellsplit: Labyrinth, currently scheduled for release in Q1 2027 on both Meta Quest and PC VR.

Hellsplit: Labyrinth is a roguelike VR action RPG that combines Hellsplit's signature physics-based combat with procedurally generated environments, powerful artifacts, new enemies and bosses, RPG progression, and an immersive story.

Development actually began back in 2023.

Originally, Labyrinth was intended to become an expansion campaign for Hellsplit: Arena. However, it quickly became clear that the technical limitations of Arena made our vision impossible to realize. Development slowed to a halt, and eventually we had no choice but to pause the project while focusing on another game.

This year, we finally found the opportunity to return to Labyrinth.

The only way to fully realize our vision, however, was to develop it as a standalone title.

Growing This Together

Games like ours live on the strength of the people around them. The interest you show early on shapes more than you'd think - how far Hellsplit: Labyrinth reaches, what platforms it can grow onto, even whether it makes it to PlayStation VR2 one day.

And beyond this one game, that support is simply what keeps a small studio like ours alive. It's what lets us keep making the kind of games we want to make, project after project. So if Labyrinth is something you're excited for, following along and wishlisting it are small things that genuinely help us keep going.

Join our Discord, stay with us, and we'll see you again soon in Hellnews.

The Future of Hellsplit

SayHelloToGruxsteam_community_announcements

23d ago

Dear Friends!

Many of you have probably come to the conclusion that we've abandoned Hellsplit: Arena and have no plans to return to it. If that were true, we would have told you honestly. The real reason for our silence is much simpler: for a long time, we simply had nothing meaningful to share. But today we're finally ready to share not just the future of Hellsplit: Arena, but the roadmap for the entire Hellsplit franchise - something we sincerely hope we'll be able to build together with your support.

The Future of Hellsplit: Arena

Before talking about what's next, we'd like to outline our plans for Hellsplit: Arena.

By the end of this year, we intend to release several updates featuring some of the community's most requested additions:

Mods support for the Meta Quest version of Hellsplit: Arena.
Sandbox Mode for both Meta Quest and PC VR versions (Update 1.3).
Separate Legacy (1.24.1) and Current (1.3) branches on Steam, allowing existing mods to remain compatible with older versions of the game.
Numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements across both Meta Quest and PC VR.
Steam Achievements.

These are the improvements we can realistically deliver without fundamentally rebuilding the game.

Unfortunately, the project's aging architecture and technical limitations prevent us from implementing many of the larger ideas we've wanted to pursue for years.

Sooner or later, every game reaches the end of its lifecycle - not as a goodbye, but as a foundation for what comes next.

For Hellsplit, it's time to move forward.

Introducing Hellsplit: Labyrinth

This isn't the end of the road - it's the beginning of a new one, and it's the project we've been quietly pouring everything into. Everything we've learned from Arena, every idea its aging tech couldn't hold, is going straight into what comes next.

The next chapter in the series is Hellsplit: Labyrinth - a roguelike VR action RPG bringing Hellsplit's signature physics-based combat into procedurally generated environments, with powerful artifacts, new enemies and bosses, RPG progression, and a story to tie it all together. Coming Q1 2027 on Meta Quest and PC VR.

It's a full standalone title where Hellsplit's combat finally gets the world it deserves. Read the full announcement here

We Need Your Support

That said, we also have to be honest about the business side of game development.

To continue creating the games we want to make, we need your support.

If you're able to help us, we'd be incredibly grateful if you could add Hellsplit: Labyrinth to your Steam and Meta Store Wishlists, and consider wishlisting the other games from our studio as well.

Every wishlist makes a real difference. The more interest we can generate before launch, the better our chances of successfully completing our upcoming projects.

Strong community support also significantly improves the chances of bringing Hellsplit: Labyrinth to PlayStation VR2.

Thank you all for being with us.

Before we wrap up, we'd like to share one small secret:

Every game created by Deep Type Games takes place within the same Hellsplit multiverse.

So no matter how different one of our projects may seem, there's always a little bit of Hellsplit inside it.

Stay with us, and we'll see you again soon in Hellnews.

Hellsplit: Arena 1.24.1 update and future of the game Steam version

SayHelloToGruxsteam_community_announcements

403d ago

Hello, brave Warriors! ⚔️

Hellsplit developers are back with you again. First and foremost – we want to apologize for our long silence. As you may know, earlier this spring we released Hellsplit: Arena for mobile VR headsets. It also took us some time to roll out patches and fix various issues.

At the moment, we’re in an unusual situation: we now have two versions of the game, and the mobile version is actually ahead of the PC version in terms of content and mechanics. Right now, we’re fully focused on bringing the PC version of Hellsplit: Arena up to date. Once both versions are synced, we plan to release future updates for both platforms simultaneously.

We’re aiming to release this major update on Steam in the first half of autumn. A more detailed announcement will follow later this summer.

Oculus VR native support

Today, we’re rolling out a small, but important update. As some of you may have noticed, the Steam version of Hellsplit: Arena has only supported one VR runtime all these years – SteamVR. This has occasionally caused issues when playing on Quest headsets.

With this update, we’ve added support for OculusVR – the native runtime for Quest headsets. This should help reduce various compatibility issues. You’ll now be able to choose the runtime environment when launching the game.

We’ve also fixed a few long-standing bugs.

Changes

Added native OculusVR support for Quest headsets
Fixed a bug where weapon scale could change after sheathing it in a slot
Fixed a bug where your hand could get stuck in the shield after dropping it
Improved item-throwing mechanics
Fixed a bug where the Rifle with bayonet would start floating after stabbing
Fixed a visual bug where altar meshes would overlap each other

The biggest changes are still ahead. We’re actively working on bringing all the new mechanics over to the PC version – and the long-awaited major update on Steam is coming soon.

Thanks for staying with us! ⚔️

Mods full support on Quest

The future plans on Steam version

In spite of the fact that the Quest port took up a lot of our effort and time, the update of the PC of the game remains to be the priority task for us.

Hellsplit: Arena 1.3, Quest Release and Future Plans

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/56fde262bfc37a89c1b0cbcaf25de1882d52cebe.png

Hello Warriors!

Devs are here with you again and today we want to share our plans, ideas and visions with you on the future of the game Hellsplit: Arena. As many of you know, our game was first released on Steam in late September 2019. It is a rather long time, but the fact that remains unchanged is that all this time we have been working and continue working on our game. All this time we have considered the requests and wishes of our players with great attention and we managed to gradually integrate many of those (e.g. mods) to the game. In parallel, we always had our own vision on the project and desire to implement plenty of ideas, new mechanics, modes, etc. Unfortunately our team remains practically as small as it was at the game start. For this reason we have never had an opportunity to implement all conceived at the very beginning but it only means that each of us works even harder to make Hellsplit: Arena just as it was initially planned to be. And today we are glad to announce that we came as close as possible to our goal and want to tell what the future holds for Hellsplit: Arena:

Hellsplit: Arena 1.3

Hellsplit: Arena 1.3 is a core update which basically includes all the vision of the creators gained through years of development. Moreover the update takes numerous requests of our players into account linked to replayability of the “Arena” campaign, addition of new enemies to the game, fixing of the old problems and integration of new mechanics: Core changes:

Updated “Arena” campaign

In general the “Arena” campaign will keep its structure and the maps set, but it will be expanded by means of more detailed revelation of LORE part, new gameplay elements, global goals and plenty of new enemies. There will be added new game modes NG+, additional endings as well as the possibility to return to the previous maps. Besides, the starting classes will appear in the game, which will help you to comfortably begin and continue with the exactly weapon builds that you like. Obviously there will be added new weapon types to the game which will make the fight even more varied and help you using your unique fighting style. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/335512ac519bff26959be9c9628e136903cf146f.png

New campaign “Labyrinth”

“Labyrinth” is a principally new campaign which earlier was not presented in our game. The participants of our community Un_Cocotier and Shadow Team under official support of the developers are engaged in the development of this campaign. “Labyrinth” will represent 9 unique biomes, each of which consists of 2 procedurally-generated levels, where at the end of each you will face a boss in a fight! During the adventure you will be able to find new loot, open new weapon, pump your character and many other. The mode with also support several NG+ modes, where passing of each can take of 10 hours. We will share more details about the new mode in one of the next announcements. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/81e875735d2301b1292e0250e2b7dee4548c4460.png

New game mode “Sandbox”

The mode that has already become classic in many famous VR games. Here everything is familiar to you - you will be able to spawn the characters, weapon and other objects in real time as well as change their properties and behavior. You will be able to collect all the content which is presented in the game on one level and different configurations. Now all this will appear in our game as well.

Overhauled enemies pipeline

We have always paid particular attention to the enemies and interaction with them in our game. Those who have followed us for long know that we have some characters (e.g. Meatboy) that have been ready for a long time and still have not appeared in the main game. Now their time has come and they all challenge you in the update 1.3. You will find more than 10 new enemies, including non-anthropomorphic, with blood and rich dismemberment, just the way you like! Besides, the existing enemies will also be overhauled to divide their classes more clearly. Bosses will get their personal styles and ultimate possibilities to really challenge you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/e6a353821db33d099859d78be69ca5e0743777d2.png

Simplified role-playing system

It is a brand new mechanics in our game which enables the progression of your character. Some players were worried that the addition of RPG part will lead the game away from the initial idea of realistic Melee fighting, but we assure you that there is no reason for concern. The role-playing system by no means changes the fighting mechanics but rather complements them, e.g. adding the critical damage to the weapon which allows you to fight the enemies of any complexity level using your most preferable weapon. Our game is and will be based on the Skill Based Combat System. Besides, the system will include suchlike classical characteristics as luck, chance of loot drop and objects search, which become critically important in combination with the updated “Arena” and “Labyrinth” modes, as now for passing them it will be strongly important to find and collect the key playing objects. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/69404ad7eb300e0a2a50a454529b5125109efbdf.png

Avatar’s customization system

Another system which has not been presented in our game earlier. Now it will help you to customize your character by setting its appearance using a variety of unique presets. Race, skin color, hair, facial hair, tattoos - you will be able to change all this to set your exclusive character.

Overhauled sound system

Amongst many of the reviews to our game, there are a good few of those where you have reported about the sound low quality. We have always acknowledged this problem but unfortunately could not start its solving for a long time. Now we have finally found the resources to take up this issue, so for several months already the game’s sound system has been in the process of overhauling. We are polishing almost everything from the creation of the distinctive ambient effects for each map to the selection of new, high-quality and various samples for sounding of all the interactive elements in the game. We have quite closely worked on the binaural effects settings which is very important for every VR game. We hope that you will not be disappointed! We also intend to replace the announcer! 🙂

Global UI refinement

The addition of new role-playing systems requires us to include new gaming interfaces and windows! The existing system has become common and classic but, after 5 years, we want to slightly update it. Nothing will be principally changed but the interface will become a bit more modern.

Multi-language support

At present our game supports only English, though the addition of other languages has been in our plans for long. Finally, in the update 1.3 it has become possible to add new localizations into the game. We will announce the full list of the new languages later.

Fixing of critical problems

Since the release of our game there have been accumulated a lot of problems that are reported again and again by people. Black screen at launch, game crashes at the start, broken savings - all this is critically important, but unfortunately we still have not managed to solve the majority of these problems, mostly due to the difficulties of hardware and software interaction of VR systems. We will try to fix the biggest part of those problems in the new update. Moreover, we do not forget about other promises of ours, e.g. the new control modes for Touch controllers (Quest) and Steam achievements will be added. Update 1.3 will be released at the beginning of Q4 2024. Until then we do not plan to release any other updates as we are now throwing all our forces in the new release! In case you missed the previous news, our update 1.24 was released 3 weeks ago, in which we added some interesting improvements.

Quest 2 и Quest 3 Releases

We have long thought about the order of the news in our announcement. It is true, our game will be released on the Meta Quest platform and this is a remarkable event for our game, perhaps even more significant than the release of another big update. The game released on the Quest platform will include the entire content which is available on the PC version and will be endowed with the same possibilities. Obviously, the hardware difference of the platforms will lead to the graphics level differences, but the game will have the same gameplay possibilities as the main game. The same enemies, weapon and maps will be presented in the game at the time of launch. We initially plan the release for Quest 2 platform, which will be definitely supported on Quest 3 devices, but with the same graphics level. We plan to release a separate game version a bit later, specifically optimized for Quest 3 using the AR possibilities of the new platform. The release on the Quest platform is planned for Q4 2024.

Sony PlayStation VR2 Release

It’s long been rumored on the web that we plan to release our game on PSVR2 platform. And yes, it’s not a rumor! We are really working on porting of our game to this platform. The game the same will be released in an updated version there, including the update 1.3 and special optimizations which will use the capacities of the modern VR device by Sony to the maximum. The release of this update is planned for Q2 2025. More details will follow in one of the next announcements!

Other Platforms

We are still full of ideas regarding the future development of our game and the Deep Type Games studio itself. The release on other platforms, apart from the above-mentioned is among them. We do not reveal the details so far, as we need to concentrate on the current plans and launch the new releases in the specified deadlines.

Conclusion

We end our announcement here but not the development of the game Hellsplit: Arena. We still have a lot of plans. Such possibilities as multiplayer or the “Siege” mode as well as many others were not included in the update 1.3. But this is all possible in the future if there is the most significant - the support of our players! The fact that you like our game, play it, follow it, share your wishes and really care about its future is very important for us. We are here with you, we love you and hear you, read every review, keep all of your ideas and note each of your suggestions down. This game is for you! We hope that you enjoyed this announcement and our future plans regarding our game’s development! Follow our news, subscribe to our Discord and wait for the new updated and releases on the new platforms! Good luck, warriors! Yours sincerely, Deep Type Games team.

Dear friends: players and content creators!

As you already know, we released our new update Hellsplit: Arena 1.2 a few days ago, in which mods support has been added!

And now we are excited to share the news with you that our instrument for mod creation called Hellsplit: Workbench is officially released and is available to everyone! 🥳 🎉 Hellsplit: Workbench is a Mod SDK designed for Hellsplit: Arena is set to revolutionize the game by allowing players to customize their experience and create their own unique content. Built on top of Unreal Engine 4, it offers all the tools needed to design custom maps, weapons, and game modes. With its intuitive interface, customizable parameters and large set of predefined templates, players can easily create their own levels, weapons, and more. Download Hellsplit: Workbench We also began to prepare the tutorials, the first of which are available here ⬇️ https://deeptypegames.notion.site/Eng-aba62b4dffbd4ca2a36dfbfa83bdfdd4?pvs=4 As usual don't hesitate to join our Discord to share your experience with other developers! We are planning to actively complement and develop this section by creating the new tutorials in the future!

Hello, dear Friends! 👋

We are back again and we are happy to share wonderful news with you! 🥳 Today we are one step closer to probably the most long-awaited update of our game - Update 1.2! We are launching alpha-testing of the new update 1.2, and this means that the testers team from among our players will already get access to the first mods created for our game. Special thanks to those modders who managed to prepare their releases for today's update. At launch, a limited amount of content will be available, but this is just the beginning and the game store will be constantly updated with new works! Let's share some technical details: players will be able to install mods in a couple of ways at once. 1️⃣ The first and the main one is Mod Workshop build-it in the game. Choose, download and install mods directly from the game! Currently we are using the mod.io service to interact with mods online, and the testers who got access to the alpha version today will need to have a mod.io account to download mods. Fortunately, you do not need to sign up namely on the site, this can be done directly from the game by simply indicating your email and inserting the verification code. In the near future we will make an optional link to a mod.io account and you will be able to download your favorite mods without any registration. 2️⃣ At the same time, if you have another favorite site for downloading mods (for example, nexusmods) - the game now supports manual installation of mods! ❗ By the way, if you are not yet a member of the tester team, but want to try mods right now, then it's high time to join our Discord and apply for joining the tester group! Thank you all for your patience and understanding. Today alpha-testing of our most anticipated update begins, and the final release is just round the corner! Stay in touch!

Hello, dear friends! 👋

We are glad to see you again and today we have two good news at once! As you know this year we have dedicated all our time to the development and integration of user generated content in our game, simply speaking - Mods! We are actively improving and polishing our game's basics, developing tools for content creation and thinking over convenient ways of interaction with mods for both, players and modders! And the first good news is that the mods will appear already in the next game update which will be released under the number 1.2! We'll make a more detailed announcement of this update later, but already now we want to say that this will be a major update with a lot of new content, the release will include both, the updated game and the Hellsplit: Workbench - our own modding tool, where everyone of you will be able to try yourself as the creator of your own unique content! The second good news is that while mod support is still under development, we prepared a new update for you which you can download right away! So, meet the Update 1.19 - Polearms and Throwing Weapons. This time we created two principally different weapon categories for you so that you can give a fitting rebuff to the undeads! Halberd is probably the most ultimative weapon in the game currently. Big size, huge mass and sharp blades - this weapon is endowed with everything to keep the distance and destroy the most dangerous enemies! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/9f01af7116ce9b2947f106d49d74d4c22b78c7b9.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/e115eec82f4e4f14d4eaa39a9e98b3326315d536.gif And for those who rely on the agility and not on the strength - throwing weapon is that you surely need in the fight. Shurikens and Throwing Knives will not take much space but become a dangerous weapon for the unprotected enemies. We have also added a Boomerang which can turn to a rather fearsome weapon in the hands of a skilled warrior and during the throws of which you can simply have rest in between fights! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/4a08723bb9459c81d1f28c4a90b43a52ae26b127.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/d95ad6895f98948c31eeddf9e36560c92efbc92c.gif

Hellsplit: Arena "Daggers" Update 1.18 released

SayHelloToGruxsteam_community_announcements

1254d ago

Hello, dear friends!

As you already know, we are now actively working on the development of our Mod SDK, but before it is released we wanted to please you with another update. Something that you have asked us for a long time has happened - the Daggers ⚔ are added to the game! Being available from the very beginning of the game, having a light weight and rather low striking power, they become at the same time an ultimative weapon due to their lightness and easiness to use. Thanks to its sharp blade, daggers can easily stab the enemy's ringmail, as well as the skeletons skulls, what makes them a perfect helper in the battle against the armored enemies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/69c19b9daed017b88786a74d611675fd95df94ca.gif Moreover, we have tried to make it as convenient as possible and added new mechanics to the game - interception of the weapon on the fly. All that you need to do is to push the button of the secondary action when gripping the weapon with one hand. Now the two most lightweighted swords have the same abilities - Short Sword и Nordic Sword and also Francisca axe. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/eb1ec66ed4eafb64815b8a87efe0b0bb39c51f19.gif In this update we paid special attention to the stabbing system (largely it is because we wanted to expand the possibilities of our system for the forthcoming Mod Kit). E.g. multi-stabbing has been added to the game, which allows you to literally pin the enemy with the sword or arrows to the wall and determine his fate. In general, the stabbing system has become more stable and comfortable. Hopefully you will like this update! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/62371d62abcfd349928e17dd9c23d42895b7b5d2.gif

Changes

Dagger is added
Stiletto is added
Sai is added
Double Sai is added
Rondel Dagger is added
Kukri is added
Kris is added
Stabbing system is improved, behaviour of the weapon and enemies when stabbing is made more stable
Multi-stabbings are added, now it is possible to pin the enemy to the wall or pierce several enemies with one weapon.
Context actions for Short Sword and Nordic Sword are added
Vulnerable areas of the armored enemies are edited, now it is easier to pierce them
Behaviour of the stabbed enemies is fixed, now they cannot get up while you are holding the weapon.
The weight of the skeletons is changed, now they can be easily manipulated when gripped
The cage on the Torture map is fixed

Thank you for being with us!

The first global mod is under development!

Hello, dear friends!

We have some interesting news for you! As we mentioned earlier, at the moment our team is actively working on the development of our own Mod SDK which is named Hellsplit: Workbench. In the future this software will be available for all interested and everyone will be able to develop his own mods and share them with the community. Until then the early versions of Hellsplit: Workbench will be available to alpha-testers. We have told you earlier about one of such teams - they call themselves Shadow Team and work on the development of their own complete campaign for Hellsplit: Arena called Shadowside: Screaming Isles. The specificity of this project lies also in the fact that it is created not only on the standard assets of the game, the mod developers actively integrate new mechanics, animated NPC's, inventory, economics and, of course, interesting tasks in the great new world! You can see it by yourself by watching their promo video! The good news is that the guys from Shadow Team have created their own Discord server where they will share with the most recent news about development, screenshots and new videos. Join their channel and follow the latest news on the development of Screaming Isles mod. ⚔ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/267d13665e0f6c99c03452bfd7fbf9c9ac968557.png

Road to Mods! Hellsplit: Arena Workbench alpha under development.

SayHelloToGruxsteam_community_announcements

1380d ago

Great news for everyone!

The HSA team has always listened closely to the wishes of our players and, whenever possible, met their needs and wants. However, some of the particularly complicated areas require thourough preparation and comprehensive check of the issue. Therefore, we were forced to keep the development of the system for supporting user modifications (mods) to our game in secret for a long time. We had to make sure that it was possible from the technical point of view and we also needed to refine the basic part of the game (integration of the necessary mechanics). Aside from that, the bureaucratic issues have taken a lot of time, as we needed to get permission from Epic Games to distribute a modified version of their engine. All this did not give us the opportunity to tell the community about this area of work in advance. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/97b1eb7bda7b6ee298c8b8c8d69da6fec7e6b543.gif We consider it important to describe the capabilities of the new system. Our modding system is largely unique and complex. It includes the following main components:

A flexible and versatile custom modification toolkit (SDK) called Hellsplit Workbench that allows you to: - create and integrate almost any custom content, ranging from classic weapons to complex equipment (from a tank or submarine to a spaceship) - create game levels (both from scratch and based on the existing content in the game) - create custom scenarios (from simple training missions to complete game campaigns and even your own modes) - create your own characters (avatars, enemies) - customize, replace and add your own sounds and music
A simple and intuitive system for searching, installing and managing modifications (integrated into the game itself, which is important) is provided for those who are not interested in the creative process, but at the same time are willing to see the results of the creativity of others.
For those who wish to help other members of the community in creating their modifications, we plan to integrate the ability to share mod sources.
From the developers side the availability of a basic set of full-fledged mods already at the start (i.e. immediately after launch) is guaranteed.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/922d5aa0d0c1da3801ba3c63647d3297a14dc04e.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/274be39766e615c0c0f8b7dc0e21be472b84627f.gif The work on mods is currently at the stage of the so-called internal testing. This means that developers, among other things limited by legal issues, had to find primary SDK testers among their close friends. It is they who are currently creating their mods with the help of our toolkit. Upon completion of this stage (and this is planned to be done by the end of the year), we plan to arrange testing of the SDK already among the members of the gaming community. And if successful results will be achieved, we plan to make the toolkit available to everyone without exception. All the news connected with the development of HSA Workbench will be primarily updated on our Discord channel. In the same place we are creating a new channel where we will share the testing results with you. Join us to keep up with the news! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/918ee12a553d420b532e433932bf59b29a5b414d.png We were happy to share this news with you and hope to see you in the arena again :swords: Thank you for your support, warriors!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34901292/533598b1bd41c0b7e8d697f0cd5433e509a1a76d.png Dear friends! As many of you know, our game, despite constant updates and improvements, still has a number of technical problems. One of them is a crash as a result of the physics scene update. Recognizing this error is quite easy: the game closes and the crash reporter opens, which contains approximately the following text: Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION 0x0000000000000000 Hellsplit_Arena_Win64_Shipping APEXFramework_x64 PhysX3_x64 PhysX3_x64 APEXFramework_x64 Hellsplit_Arena_Win64_Shipping Usually, this error is not directly tied to any specific actions or time of the game. It can occur both at the very beginning of the game, and after some time. At the same time, some players note that more often this problem appears under specific conditions, for example, by splitting a zombie in half with a claymore 🤺 . Anyway, regardless of the time and frequency of its appearance this problem occurs by all players, and has already got on the player's and developers' nerves and ruined the mood of the both parties. So, after numerous appeals, we finally managed to fix it! Now the game should work stable without annoying physics crashes. Hope you enjoy it and have a nice play! ⚔

Hellsplit: Arena Update 1.16 released

SayHelloToGruxsteam_community_announcements

1633d ago

Hello, dear friends! We are pleased to announce that the long-awaited update 1.16 is now available! We have done a great deal of work to make Hellsplit: Arena even more interesting, uncommon and exciting. For a long time you fought bravely against the undeads using only melee weapons, warriors. We wanted to help you in this area for quite some time, and finally added the first ranged weapon to the game - 5 types of bows and arrows. However, the undeads have not wasted their time as they have reinforced their ranks with new units – zombie-archers, who are ready to fire you back at any time. Good luck in the battle! In addition, we took a lot of other wishes received from the players into account and fixed a number of problems. One of the major changes that may seem to be invisible at first glance is the rework of weapon and object systems, which will allow you creating new weapons and objects in a much faster and more intuitive way, making our game one step closer to the integration of user-generated content. We have also implemented shadows and textures quality graphics settings into the game.

Dear friends! We are glad to announce that our update 1.15 is ready and we are anxious to present it to you! One of the biggest features of this new update is the Horse, which is available for riding and fighting against the enemies, along with the new maps and weapons designed particularly for this purpose. Another important improvement refers to the partial modification of the campaign. New levels have been added to it and besides the waves order and quantity of the enemies have changed - all to make the gameplay more interesting. Our recommendation to those who's already completed the campaign would sound rather simple - try it again! :) So here we are with the complete change log for the update 1.15:

Changes

Support of the sitting mode is added
Possibility of crouching is added
Standard avatar's armor is changed
Avatar's calibration screen is improved
It is now possible to enter the Settings via Pause-menu
New map Frozen Lake (2 versions) is added
New map Knight’s Court (2 versions) is added
The Horse is added
Horse control settings are included in the options
The crows are added
New types of weapon for the battles on the Horse are added (lance, peak and bear spear). The weapon is already placed on the maps where the horse is available.
Training rounds are added to the campaign
Waves order in the campaign is reworked
3D-icons are included in the altar
Plugs for non-opened objects are added
Skeletons health is decreased
The limit on the hands breaking during the two-handed grip is removed

We thank all of you for patient waiting and support and can say that we already work on the following update, preparing something special to our players ;) Thank you, guys, and enjoy 1.15!

Hellsplit: Arena Update 1.14 released

Hello everyone! Halloween has come and gone, but we are still working hard and want to present you our new update 1.14! Here are some new features to keep you all occupied: First off, kicking has become a lot more comfortable, now it is directed depending on where your HMD is positioned, rather then being on a 360 axis at a single height. The pumpkin bombs from Halloween are new and improved (design and sensitivity wise that is) and here to stay to demolish the undead. Cutting a zombie in half now leaves some delightful physics based guts hanging out of both sides while not having almost any effect on performance! Lastly, we have a new way to brutality execute the undead, first you could rip their hearts out, but now you can rip their heads off! These are the major additions to 1.14 but be sure to take a look at the changelog below, stay safe slayers!

Changes

Kicks are made in the look direction and inflict damage now
New option of zombie defeating: head ripping
Now zombie's guts fall out while slicing him in a half
New hybrid motion mode for HTC Vive is added
New hands contextual animation is added
Avatar's emotions are added
Black bombs are added
Bug of enemies animation during the explosion is fixed
Sounds of fallen shatters of the objects are added
Lighting of the map "Fort" is fixed
Halloween stuff is removed
