- A Look at What's Coming to HellSlave II 🔥 - 14 August 2026
HELL-o everyone,I've been reading your feedback since launch, all of it, and I wanted to talk to you directly. I'm one person making this game, so I can't reply to everything, but I promise I see it. At first I just wanted to jump in and tell you what I've been working on. Then I figured it would be clearer if I actually laid it out properly, so here it is: the plan for the next few months.One honest note: these dates are what I'm aiming for, not promises set in stone. I'm working alone, so things can shift a little. If they do, I'll keep you posted for sure!If you want to help shape the Balance Patch, come share your experience in the feedback post over on Discord. It genuinely makes a difference.💬 https://discord.gg/gz3TCBM97FThank you for playing, and for sticking with me. Let's keep making this game better together.~ Baptiste (solo dev)

Hey everyone, quick focus on one of the Warrior subclasses: the Art of Combat.We wanted this class to be the most technical of the warriors: a fighter who leaves no chance to his enemies, deploying a full arsenal of techniques to annihilate the monsters that get in his way.

It has synergies on blocking and defense, but also on bleeding, so you can pair raw damage with serious survivability.The Bleed Angle: A big part of the class. You can land massive damage, then drain life proportional to the bleeding you've inflicted, and finish with a special attack boosted by every bleed you stacked up beforehand.Damage Mitigation: This is where Art of Combat shines.
