Although previously announced for PS3 and Xbox 360, the game is now coming to PS4 and Xbox One, with a planned Steam Early Access phase planned for PC players this Autumn.

Hellraid preview: Dungeons, Demons and déjà vu

 

Techland’s forthcoming first-person action title set in a dark fantasy world, boasts plenty of potentially interesting bullet points—2-4 player co-op, Story, Arena, and Mission modes, character customization, randomly-generated loot, and some RPG-flavored depth. Sadly, my hands-off demo barely scratched the surface of these promised features.

 

The first half of my 20 minute preview showed the player hacking and slashing through various types of skeletal soldiers. The action was well-animated and the setting—the bowels of a medieval monastery—was appropriately unsettling, but everything felt a bit too familiar; as someone who’s carved through his fair share of dungeon-dwelling freaks from behind light and heavy attacks, I felt more déjà vu than excitement. Environmental kills—like dropping chandeliers on unsuspecting foes—injected some variety, but not enough to separate Hellraid from the been-there-hacked-that pack.

Looks like dungeons levels from Skyrim. Even the health bar and stamina bars look the same. Terrible.

Dear Hellraid fans,

Over the past few weeks we stayed rather quiet about our game. But we had a good reason for it: the scope of Hellraid is expanding rapidly. Thanks to the positive feedback Hellraid has received, it’s now possible for us to put much more resources into the game and aim higher than ever before.

Our team has already tripled its initial size and is now comparable to the team behind Dying Light. It lets us create a much richer top-tier game, which will be Techland’s next major release after Dying Light. Everything you think you know about Hellraid will be bigger, better, and more… beautiful.

However, the changes brought about by the expansion of the project called for more bold decisions, one of them being a cancellation of the Early Access launch. As new possibilities opened up, we had to re-evaluate the plan to release an early version of the game and decided against it. We feel that Early Access is no longer suitable for a game of Hellraid’s scope and could misrepresent our product.

We know that many of you wanted to raid hell as soon as possible so our decision might not be what you expected. However, we believe we can exceed your expectations and our game will be well worth the wait.

With the expansion of our project already underway, we’re now beginning preparations to unveil Hellraid in the form we always wanted it to take. We’ll have more exciting news for you early next year. Stay tuned!

Well, RIP.

 

 

 

Dear Hellraid fans,

 

We would like to officially announce that our dark fantasy FPP game Hellraid will not be released this year as previously planned, and the development of the game has been put on hold.

 

In the recent months we conducted an internal analysis and came to the conclusion that Hellraid, in its current shape and form, is not meeting our own expectations for this project. Therefore, we decided the best course of action would be to send it back to the drawing board and invent our dark fantasy title anew.

 

In the meantime, we will consolidate our development resources and focus on further expansion of our Dying Light franchise.

 

We wish to thank all our fans for your support - you're the best!

^ Shucks, hopefully they get it out with something fresh and unique, the fantasy they were set in was not unique but if they manage to make a good first-person brawler, that is fine by me.

Damn..I really wanted to play a first person fantasy action game like Heretic :|
