Hey everyone!
Today, we are here to announce some of our
future plans for HARD BULLET - and some of them being long-time requested features by you. π If you're ready, have some popcorn on us, and let's give it a start with an exciting announcement!
[h2]Meta Quest Version Announcement[/h2]
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT, WE SEE YOU! π[h2]Footage from Quest 3/3S Standalone Version[/h2]
We
FINALLY have an answer to your '
Quest version?' questions! π
We heard you loud and clear and we are more than happy to announce that
we are working on the Meta Quest version of HARD BULLET.We are still striving for the best possible performance on
Quest 3. Hard Bullet is known for its intensive CPU and GPU usage, and we're actively working on optimizations.
This new research and development for Quest are also helping us improve the PC version significantly!
We plan to maintain all the features available in the PC version, and this includes the violent elements as well. To achieve this, we had to rework how blood behaves in Hard Bullet, which led to a more realistic saturation of fabric with blood and a few additional enhancements that youβll see in the
upcoming PC update.
And let's not forget about guns! Our huge collection with detailed gun interactions will be there too!
For more information on this Quest version please keep your eyes on the horizon![h2]Story and Rogue Elements[/h2]
We're excited to announce
a new game mode coming in 2025, which was a long-time requested feature from our community - bringing
story elements, new gameplay mechanics, enhanced enemy AI, and countless fresh scenarios for you to experience in Hard Bullet.
Our vision is to create a unique, immersive journey through a violent, sprawling megapolis, where each moment is intense and unpredictable. You'll find yourself navigating chaotic city streets, facing brutal challenges, and engaging in high-stakes combat as you move deeper into the heart of the megapolis.
The story will unfold across
multiple chapters, set in ever-evolving districts, each with its own atmosphere and encounters. You'll also have the freedom to embark on an endless journey, plunging further into the city's violent underworld to test your skills and endurance.
[h2]Random Encounters[/h2]
The city's streets are always shifting, ensuring that even during story runs, you'll face
fresh encounters with every playthrough. We are working on
a variety of intense scenarios to showcase the brutal reality of life in the backstreets and the violent power struggles that spill into the luxurious high-rises of the city center.
You'll cross paths with dangerous figures and find yourself in
harrowing situations β gangsters torturing debt collectors, underground human trafficking rings, drug labs hidden in plain sight, and secret arms deals taking place at dark alleys. Meanwhile, the local police struggle to keep up, often turning a blind eye as criminal powers dominate.
As a third-party contract killer, you'll have the freedom to decide where your loyalties lie. You can aid both factions, playing them against each other, or stay focused on your own mission, passing through the chaos as you pursue your primary target.
The choice is yours.
[h2]Districts[/h2]
We're currently developing two city districts for you to explore, each with its own distinct design, staying true to Hard Bullet's brutal style.
- Backstreets District will immerse you into the city's dark corners, street markets, and poor quarters The Backstreets District will pull you deep into the city's shadowy underbelly, filled with dark alleys, crowded street markets, and impoverished neighborhoods. Here, gangsters of every stripe run their violent operations, from extortion to smuggling, creating a chaotic environment where no witnesses are welcome.
- The Rooftops District offers a stark contrast, taking you to the heights of the cityβluxury penthouses and towering skyscrapers, where those in power hide dark secrets. With a focus on vertical exploration, you'll navigate rich indoor environments while balancing perilous runs along the rooftops' edges, where one wrong move could send you plummeting to the streets below.
[h2]Nearest Updates[/h2]
As for the upcoming updates, we are working hard to bring you these
next week:
- Performance Improvements β managed to get a huge FPS boost again, can't wait to share the details.
- Reworked some gore aspects of the game to make blood and inner bones look more realistic.
- Enemies will get more firearms to use.
What an entrance to October huh? π We are so excited about everything we have announced today and can not wait for you to get your hands on them!
We couldn't be inspired this much if it wasn't for you,
our community. Thank you so much for all your support and patience while we are cooking for the future of HARD BULLET. π
