The Halloween Event is making a comeback

Trick or treat, Bounty Hunters?

Why not both!?!

Come over to our newly decorated lobby - we at WAHLA Corp have an announcement to make! We are happy to announce that the Killsquad’s Halloween Event is back! However, as the headline suggests, it's bigger and better than last year’s Halloween bonanza. Take a look at the video below to see what’s in store - if you DARE!!

The first thing that we just have to mention is the brand-new Gadget - the terrifyingly tasty and powerful Hallowtide Pumpkin Cake! Its effects are still not fully known to WAHLA Corp scientists, but we did hear that it has amazing healing qualities and it is rather moist and has hints of vanilla (chocolate not confirmed). This cake though is not that easy of a find. There is now a new quest where you need to find 100 Hallowtide Pumpkins to help the chef make this most amazing dessert ever made during Hallowtide. Once you gather 100 Pumpkins you can claim the quest, and it will give you 13 Hallowtide Cakes. Now, once you get your 13 cakes, you cannot have more. That is the limit. So hurry Bounty Hunters, this treat is worth fighting for!

As you all know, Halloween is all about dressing up. So get that special vibe for your squad with a new cosmetic - the scarily-hillarious Pumpkin Head! It’s available for all Killsquad’s characters.

Since it’s Ekaar’s first Halloween in Killsquad, we wanted to welcome him to the WAHLA Corp family with a special gift. This year he will get his own Ekaar Halloween Skin and Halloween Portrait like the rest of the squad. And do you remember last year’s Halloween Skins and Portraits? We are bringing them back too!

All of the Halloween items are available to buy in the shop only during this event! So don’t wait for too long Bounty Hunters. Get them while they last.


And to all of our new Bounty Hunters out there, we would appreciate it if you let us know what you think about Killsquad. One of the best ways you can do that is by leaving a review on Steam. If you have a spare minute for us, it would mean the world.


That’s it from us, enjoy Halloween, and speak to you soon,

Your Novarama Team

Killsquad's Full Release is here!

Bounty Hunters!

This day has finally come. Killsquad Full Release is today! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, so celebrate with us this special day. And to mark this occasion, here is our brand new Killsquad Full Release trailer for your viewing pleasure!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Killsquad has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us: our first self-funded, self-published game, done in the middle of the biggest pandemic in a century, and trying, day by day, to raise review scores to give you guys the game you deserved. Well, after two years, we’re happy to say: the game is ready. We feel we have delivered on our promise to all of you, the fans.

Our goal was to create a game that you will be enjoying over and over again, either by yourself or with your friends (or with our community - come join us on Discord and meet the other Bounty Hunters!). We have worked hard over the last two years to make this game as good as it can be. We have shipped 16 major updates with new additions, characters, features, maps, improvements, and loads, loads more. And although today is Killsquad’s Full Release day, it doesn’t mean that it’s over for us. Not at all! We are calling this day the start of a new chapter in Killsquad’s history. There are still more points to tick off in our plans. You can see a glimpse of the game’s future by checking out our Post-Release Roadmap. Ok, that’s enough from us! Now is the time to celebrate! And may your contracts always be fulfilled, Bounty Hunters!

Before we go, to celebrate this one heck of a day, we organized a few Killsquad Live Streams! We have Vulkan, Pazos64, AlexElCapo, SoyFelipez360, and Chiclana & Friends, onboard, and who knows who else will join! But to start off, watch our very own QA lead known as SheikSama on Discord play Killsquad LIVE on Steam! Ask us questions, see how we play the game, and spend some time with us. We are starting at 4PM CEST | 10AM EDT | 7AM PDT TODAY on Killsquad’s Steam Page. So grab that popcorn! We can’t wait to see you there!


Here is our Killsquad Live Streams schedule:

Vulkan:
21st of October | 8PM - 10PM CEST | 2PM - 4PM EDT | 11AM - 1PM PDT
Youtube channel: Vulkan
