- Merry Christmas! - 23 December 2025
Hey everyone! A quick news to let you know that we pushed localization further for DeadCore Redux: thanks to our friends at Lockit QA, the game will now be available in Simplified Chinese, Russian and Ukrainian! Back in 2014, DeadCore was supporting English, French (obviously ^^) and German but we took a look at where the majority of our players came from and decided it was time to let them enjoy the game in the most accessible way possible. You can already give it a try as we updated the demo accordingly and are eager to get feedback about it! As you may already know, DeadCore Redux will be released on January 15, 2026: there's still a lot of work to get there but we are really excited to see players race each other again in Speedrun mode and obliterate developers times on every single level : ) Cheers, Team 5 Bits Games.

- Archeology - 7DFPS 11th anniversary - 5 December 2025
Hey there,To celebrate the start of this year 7DFPS, we put together a little surprise for you : )While digging into some old and dusty hard drives, we found ancient builds of Deadlock, the original prototype of DeadCore made during the 2012 7DFPS!Playing these builds, taking a look at old screenshots of different stages of development and old pictures of (way) younger versions of ourselves really brought back many fond memories of the numerous steps we took during this journey! And what a journey! It all started after we graduated from a master in video games where we all met: some of us were starting to work in the industry and were longing for an opportunity to make games together again.The opportunity came up when the first 7DFPS was announced back in summer 2012: the goal was to make a first person game within 7 days and due to the limited time and other constraints the idea of a F…
