- Drink Up Players! - 27 March 2026
The Family Secret... In Hazard Levels, your HQ is a traditional British pub and in-between expeditions you'll be able to customise your outfit, review mission intel, or drop a coin in the jukebox. However, hidden deep below the Fox Hole Arms lies the secret behind The Family and the reasoning for your missions. A brewery. You have been hired as a part of the R&D division of The Family's enterprise, to fuel this secret brewery and push their magical concoctions to the limit. You'll be able to sample these experimental drinks brewed from your harvested otherworldly rift ingredients. Emphasis on the EXPERIMENTAL. Some will grant powerful abilities… others can cause complete chaos. What do you think of these features that you can expect for Hazard Levels in Early Access? Let us know in the comments!

- Creatures Lurk in Every Dimension - 20 March 2026
Monsters and Creatures and Mutants, Oh My!Welcome back for another game feature update! Discovering and harvesting ingredients in rifts won't come without its challenges. You'll find terrifying creatures lurking within every dimension. Whether you're alone or with friends you'll need to approach each threat carefully if you want to survive. Study their behaviour and learn their weaknesses as every rift creature will have unique abilities or attributes which can cause potentially devastating consequences to your mission if you come within their sights. Once you are armed with the information about your monstrous foe, you'll need to avoid becoming their next victim. As Hazard Levels will be a gunless survival horror experience, you'll need stealth and perhaps more creative solutions to distract them. See below for just one example...We'll be back next week with more features that you can…
- Scavenge Otherworldly Ingredients - 13 March 2026
What Lies Await in the Rifts?Welcome back for another game feature update! We've shown you how you'll be able to track and travel through interdimensional rifts, and how every delve will be a newly procedurally generated adventure...but the biggest question remains. What exactly are you looking for? Rifts in Hazard Levels are teeming with ingredients that The Family desires - more on them soon. From mutated mushrooms, to cosmic fruit...to even Quantum Chickens, you'll need to discover and harvest these rare ingredients that all come with varying valuations. Naturally, the most valuable loot lies deeper within the rifts but quotas will need to be met before you can progress. The Family won't be happy if you come back with nothing. There's another piece of essential kit that you'll need if you're going to maximise your time descending through the rifts. The Gravity Gauntlet enables every…
- Get Ready for Rift-Ception - 6 March 2026
Locate the Interdimensional HotspotsYou're back for another game feature update! Thank you for joining us again as this week we're diving into interdimensional travel in Hazard Levels and how you locate rifts. These interdimensional hotspots are located at Blackmoore Industries and it's up to you and your team to infiltrate and navigate the facility - which you can do in both first and third person! There are numerous gadgets that you'll need to take advantage of to navigate efficiently. Use your state-of-the-art Rift Scanner to locate these rippling anomalies by paying attention to the device's radar style tracking screen. The scanner also highlights other notable items and pick-ups in the area - but more on those in a future game feature update. Once you've located the rift you'll need to open it in order to gain access to the other dimensions, your Rift Stabilising Device is capable…
- No Two Runs Are The Same - 27 February 2026
The Deeper the Rift, The Stranger it GetsYou've read the news that Hazard Levels is changing. If you haven't, we highly recommend you check out our previous news post. Ahead of our upcoming new trailer, we wanted to share some of the features of the game! In Hazard Levels, your goal is to locate unstable interdimensional rifts and survive the threats within. Play solo or team up with up to three friends to tackle the horrors of each rift. These rift dimensions are procedurally generated so no two runs will be the same. Each playthrough contains shifting layouts and possible threats around every corner. The deeper the rift, the stranger it gets. Navigate and survive dimensions thick with fungus growths, oozing cosmic parasites and glacial landscapes rife with stalactites. When teaming up coordination will be the key and survival is never guaranteed. We'll be back next week with more feat…
- Important Announcement - 20 February 2026
Hazard Levels is changing.It's been pretty quiet from us for a while, and we wanted to explain why.Over the last few months our core six-person dev team (we've grown, hurrah!) has been prototyping, testing and reworking the game behind the scenes. After playing it ourselves and running small pre-alpha tests, we came to a simple conclusion: it was not as fun as it should be.When we first announced Hazard Levels, a lot of people assumed it was a shooter. That was on us. The early direction leaned too heavily into that space, and it was not quite landing how we wanted. The core idea was always about surviving unstable rifts with friends, but the way we were presenting it blurred that. So, we’ve done something about it.Hazard Levels is still a 1–4 player co-op survival horror. That has not changed. What has changed is the feel of it. We are focusing much more on physics, creative survival t…
