Metal: Hellsinger News

Hellsingers,

Last week someone hit the publish button to the rhythm and released the Ukrainian localization for the game to your neighborly demons outside Steam. We have no clue how that happened, but witnesses remember seeing a floating object leaving the scene laughing diabolically.

In light of these mysterious events, we have rolled out the localization to Steam to not upset the headbanging balance. There are no takebacks in hell, so we'll keep rocking and hope that Red Judge doesn't notice. Remember that our devmons still have more work to do on the localization, so expect some untranslated text or bugs to pop up as you rhythmically crush your enemies.

We are stoked to bring the game to our Ukrainian players in their native language. Thank you for your continuous support!

Keep slaying to the beat!

Doom collided with Guitar Hero in 2022's Metal: Hellsinger, a rhythm FPS about bursting demons in time to tunes with singers from metal bands including System Of A Down and Arch Enemy. While you don't need to like metal to enjoy the game, it does add something. So now Hellsinger offers a poppier experience with a new DLC letting you perform violence to the sounds of Gorillaz, Depeche Mode, Icona Pop, and more. Oh, and Down With The Sickness is in there too because hell, why not?

We’re incredibly excited to bring all these new voices to Metal: Hellsinger, and we hope you’ll all either find something you know and love or discover something new.

Please keep in mind that due to the songs being licensed and not original, we do not have the same freedoms. What that means is, firstly, music from the Essential Hits pack are not except from DMCA strikes, so be careful when streaming!

Secondly, the Song Layering feature is turned off on these songs, since this feature would require significant edits to the music itself.

[h2]Update 1.7 [/h2]

We’ve also just pushed out a free update today, bringing bug fixes, balancing, and the addition of Nvidia Reflex. This new feature can be switched on in the options if you have a card that supports it, and aims to reduce latency. The full patch notes are available below.

With this update, we’re also wiping the slate clean on the leaderboard. It’s time to show who is the leanest, meanest demon-slaying badass out there.

Hellsingers!

Music from beyond the Hells is coming! Are you ready to slay to its beat?

On June 13, The Essential Hits pack arrives, bringing eight hit songs from some of the biggest bands in the world. For the first time, you can slay demons to music from beyond the realms of metal. The mosh pit welcomes all!


The team is so excited to bring you this pack of music from bands we groove to when our necks need a little rest. Okay, you can still definitely headbang to all of these, but you catch our drift. The song titles and bands will be revealed at launch, but you may be able to catch some hints on our social media channels in the days preceding it.

These eight songs will paint the Hells in a whole new light! These iconic songs come from a variety of bands and genres. Before entering a stage, simply go into the Song Selector and choose the beat you'll slay to. Thanks to our recent update, you can also select any of the original score songs here.

Keep in mind that due to the nature of this licensed music, the Song Layering feature will be turned off when playing with these songs.

[h2]Hell prepares for Update 1.7[/h2]

Riding shotgun with the Essential Hits Pack is Update 1.7. In this free update, we're ensuring the Hells are up to code, fires flaming, demons jostling, metal pounding. In other words, we're adding a bunch of bug fixes and balance improvements. The full change list will arrive at launch.

We're also adding a Nvidia Reflex, an option you can enable in the graphics menu if your card supports it. This feature exists to reduce system latency. It can be set to On, Off, or On + Boost. On + Boost will disable any power-saving features for the GPU, potentially reducing latency further.

When update 1.7 launches, we're wiping the slate clean on the leaderboards, so sharpen your horns and load your weapon because the fight will begin again - a new demon will stand at the top of the pile, music roaring in their veins.
