Dear Friends!Many of you have probably come to the conclusion that we've abandoned Hellsplit: Arena and have no plans to return to it. If that were true, we would have told you honestly.

Hello, brave Warriors! ⚔️Hellsplit developers are back with you again. First and foremost – we want to apologize for our long silence.

Hello Warriors! Devs are here with you again and today we want to share our plans, ideas and visions with you on the future of the game Hellsplit: Arena. As many of you know, our game was first released on Steam in late September 2019. It is a rather long time, but the fact that remains unchanged is that all this time we have been working and continue working on our game. All this time we have considered the requests and wishes of our players with great attention and we managed to gradually integrate many of those (e.g. mods) to the game. In parallel, we always had our own vision on the project and desire to implement plenty of ideas, new mechanics, modes, etc. Unfortunately our team remains practically as small as it was at the game start. For this reason we have never had an opportunity to implement all conceived at the very beginning but it only means that each of us works even harde…
