Hellsplit: Arena
New 1.17 Update is coming soon!
New gameplay mechanics under development
Hello brave warriors!

Thank you for following and stay with us further on!
Hellsplit: Arena Update 1.16 released
Hello, dear friends! We are pleased to announce that the long-awaited update 1.16 is now available! We have done a great deal of work to make Hellsplit: Arena even more interesting, uncommon and exciting.
For a long time you fought bravely against the undeads using only melee weapons, warriors. We wanted to help you in this area for quite some time, and finally added the first ranged weapon to the game - 5 types of bows and arrows. However, the undeads have not wasted their time as they have reinforced their ranks with new units – zombie-archers, who are ready to fire you back at any time. Good luck in the battle!
In addition, we took a lot of other wishes received from the players into account and fixed a number of problems. One of the major changes that may seem to be invisible at first glance is the rework of weapon and object systems, which will allow you creating new weapons and objects in a much faster and more intuitive way, making our game one step closer to the integration of user-generated content.
We have also implemented shadows and textures quality graphics settings into the game. As a result, you will have the opportunity to get even more beautiful picture due to the indirect shadows, or improve game performance by enabling lower settings.
We listen to all your wishes and continue our active game development. We will also be very happy to see you in our Discord community! Thank you for your support!
* For correct work of the campaign and purchase of new weapons in the altar, we recommend you to start the campaign again. To do this, you need to create a new profile and start a new campaign. *

Hellsplit: Arena Update 1.14 released
Halloween has come and gone, but we are still working hard and want to present you our new update 1.14! Here are some new features to keep you all occupied:
First off, kicking has become a lot more comfortable, now it is directed depending on where your HMD is positioned, rather then being on a 360 axis at a single height. The pumpkin bombs from Halloween are new and improved (design and sensitivity wise that is) and here to stay to demolish the undead. Cutting a zombie in half now leaves some delightful physics based guts hanging out of both sides while not having almost any effect on performance!
