We are back again and we are happy to share wonderful news with you! 🥳 Today we are one step closer to probably the most long-awaited update of our game - Update 1.2! We are launching alpha-testing of the new update 1.2, and this means that the testers team from among our players will already get access to the first mods created for our game. Special thanks to those modders who managed to prepare their releases for today's update. At launch, a limited amount of content will be available, but this is just the beginning and the game store will be constantly updated with new works!

Let's share some technical details: players will be able to install mods in a couple of ways at once.
1️⃣ The first and the main one is Mod Workshop build-it in the game. Choose, download and install mods directly from the game! Currently we are using the mod.io service to interact with mods online, and the testers who got access to the alpha version today will need to have a mod.io account to download mods. Fortunately, you do not need to sign up namely on the site, this can be done directly from the game by simply indicating your email and inserting the verification code. In the near future we will make an optional link to a mod.io account and you will be able to download your favorite mods without any registration.

2️⃣ At the same time, if you have another favorite site for downloading mods (for example, nexusmods) - the game now supports manual installation of mods!

❗ By the way, if you are not yet a member of the tester team, but want to try mods right now, then it's high time to join our Discord and apply for joining the tester group!

Thank you all for your patience and understanding. Today alpha-testing of our most anticipated update begins, and the final release is just round the corner! Stay in touch!

We are glad to see you again and today we have two good news at once!

As you know this year we have dedicated all our time to the development and integration of user generated content in our game, simply speaking - Mods! We are actively improving and polishing our game's basics, developing tools for content creation and thinking over convenient ways of interaction with mods for both, players and modders! And the first good news is that the mods will appear already in the next game update which will be released under the number 1.2! We'll make a more detailed announcement of this update later, but already now we want to say that this will be a major update with a lot of new content, the release will include both, the updated game and the Hellsplit: Workbench - our own modding tool, where everyone of you will be able to try yourself as the creator of your own unique content!

The second good news is that while mod support is still under development, we prepared a new update for you which you can download right away! So, meet the Update 1.19 - Polearms and Throwing Weapons.
This time we created two principally different weapon categories for you so that you can give a fitting rebuff to the undeads! Halberd is probably the most ultimative weapon in the game currently. Big size, huge mass and sharp blades - this weapon is endowed with everything to keep the distance and destroy the most dangerous enemies!




And for those who rely on the agility and not on the strength - throwing weapon is that you surely need in the fight. Shurikens and Throwing Knives will not take much space but become a dangerous weapon for the unprotected enemies. We have also added a Boomerang which can turn to a rather fearsome weapon in the hands of a skilled warrior and during the throws of which you can simply have rest in between fights!

• Spear is added
  
• Pilum is added
  
• Halberd is added
  
• Poleaxe is added

• Throwing Knives are added
  
• War Darts are added
  
• Boomerang is added
  
• Double Blade Knife is added
  
• Interaction with altar power button is improved
  
• Interaction with bonfire activation is improved
  
• Sounds of the objects gripping are changed

Friends, we thank you for your support, wish you good luck and see you in the Mods 1.2 Update !

Great news lies in the fact that already 2 new weapon categories will appear in this update - Throwing Weapons and Polearms! Show your ninja skills by defeating the enemy with accurate throws or press the undeads with powerful strikes of sharp spears and heavy halberd!

Moreover, the entire content used in Hellsplit: Arena will be available in Hellsplit: Workbench as well, including additional 3D-model libraries. You do not need to spend hours online searching for necessary level models - just take the ready-made ones and start creating the levels right away!
