Dear friends, brave warriors and fighters of the undead!

A lot of time has passed since our previous update, we have been working hard on improving the core mechanics of the game and increasing its interactivity, and now we are glad to present you our new update - 1.17! In this update, we have added a completely new type of weapon to the game - firearms. Pistol, Hand Cannon, Duplet, Rifle and Sniper Rifle are now at your disposal. These types of weapons will be a good help in the battle with the undead in addition to the classic swords, axes and hammers!

Moreover, we have added a new core mechanic to the game - climbing. Its potential is difficult to fully realize on existing maps so far, but its availability opens up great opportunities for further updates of our game.

In each of our updates, we try not just to add small improvements to the game, but to introduce truly new game mechanics, the main goal of which is to prepare the game for subsequent major changes that will significantly change the gameplay, gaming process and give players a completely new experience. And this will come very soon! Thank you for being with us!

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. As a result, you will have the opportunity to get even more beautiful picture due to the indirect shadows, or improve game performance by enabling lower settings.

We listen to all your wishes and continue our active game development. We will also be very happy to see you in our Discord community! Thank you for your support!

* For correct work of the campaign and purchase of new weapons in the altar, we recommend you to start the campaign again. To do this, you need to create a new profile and start a new campaign. *
