The Badass Hero is now Fury Unleashed, leaving Early Access in early 2019, and about to get a local co-op mode!

We don’t often post updates here, but when we do, we make sure they are worth your time. And today you’ll need quite a lot of it to dig in and go through all we’ve prepared for you. First things first, however, let’s start with the most important piece of news for today, meaning the release date and the game’s title change. Yup, you’ve got that right. The Badass Hero is no more. Please meet Fury Unleashed, that will come to your PCs, PS4s, Xbox Ones, and Nintendo Switches in early 2019!

Now trust us when we tell you that changing the game’s title after we’ve already made it available in Steam Early Access was not an easy decision to make. Nevertheless, it had to be made after we heard many times that it’s causing unnecessary controversy and is a turn off for people who otherwise might have been interested in it. Furthermore, after months of development The Badass Hero’s art style changed so massively, that reflecting that change with a new name was a good idea to disconnect it from the first screenshots and trailers that were released in 2016. Last, but not least, we’ve experienced significant difficulties promoting the game due to some social media’s profanity filters. However, one thing that hasn't changed is the skill-based, action-packed gameplay with a combo system that will reward you for playing like a badass.

Okay, okay, the title changed, noted, what about the local co-op feature? When will it become available? We’ll be running some tests during this year’s Gamescom, and if all goes well, we should be able to let you experience some epic boss fights hand in hand with your best buddy sometime around fall this year. Keep an eye out for a more precise date that we’ll be posting in the next updates here!

Still starving for more good news? Great! How about we tell you that we haven’t really shown you all that awaits you in our game? And that there will be some secret rooms to discover along your heroic adventure? Check out our newest trailer for a sneak-peak of what’s to come. Just remember to watch it till the end. Good things happen to people, who don’t skip credits.
