- Dead Heat: Two New Maps and Updated Visuals! - 22 May 2025
Dear Survivors, You really thought you’d be able to escape them in the desert, didn’t you? Well that’s a shame, because just like you, the demons are out there and you’ll have to fight them in DEAD HEAT - the latest update for Hellbreach Vegas. Watch the trailer right here: New Map: Red Rock Explore the arid canyons of Red Rock, a compact canyon map where the only thing more lifeless than the fauna are the hellish ghouls that are chasing you down. Evade them through narrow crevices and use rocks to stop them in their tracks. But be careful, because out here, no one can hear your anguished screams. New Map: Cave Challenge This one’s not for the claustrophobic. Cave Challenge is a map like no other: a tight space, a bunch of slot machines, and nowhere to run. Rack up a high score with your friends, or see how long you can survive in Nightmare mode. Along with two maps, we’ve rolled out a…

- It's Been One Hell of a Year... - 19 December 2024
Dear survivors, It’s been one hell of a year for Hellbreach. I don’t think it’ll shock anyone when I say that a release is the most important milestone in the lifespan of any game. After working and ideating on this game for years, I was incredibly excited to finally be able to give everyone the chance to immerse themselves in the grim, fast-paced world I’ve crafted. First, we launched into Early Access back in March. That gave me the unique opportunity to involve you, the Hellbreach community, and work from your direct feedback, shaping the game into its best possible version. Only after months and months of gathering, implementing and tweaking your ideas, I decided that it was time to finally launch Hellbreach: Vegas 1.0 in August! I wanna thank all of you for this spectacular journey. Anyone who's played Hellbreach, all the Early Access supporters, all the members of the wonderful He…
- The Visual Update is OUT NOW! - 28 October 2024
Dear Survivors, Your Halloween candy has arrived early. Hellbreach: Vegas is flashier, prettier, and scarier than ever. The Visual Update is OUT NOW! I’ve already given you a little sneak preview of the updated slots, perk machines, and the terrifyingly refreshing new demon designs in last week’s blog. Now, you can finally dive into the new visuals yourselves. Here’s a list of the changes that you can expect once you boot up Hellbreach: Upgraded Slot Machine Design: I revamped the slot machines with a more polished look and style that better fits the Vegas theme. Reworked Perks System: Perks can now be bought at a vending machine rather than from perk cards, providing a more cohesive and immersive experience. Polished Maps: I enhanced the maps where necessary, with improved models, textures, and overall layout refinements. Improved Lighting: The lighting has been improved across all map…
- The First Look: Hellbreach: Vegas Visual Update - 22 October 2024
Dear Survivors, A week has passed since the last blog and, as promised, I’m here to share a first look at the Hellbreach: Vegas Visual Update that we’ve been cooking up! As mentioned in the previous blog, we’ll be rolling out a visual overhaul of perks, slot machines, and our favourite slaying targets: demons! So, let’s get into some of these changes: Slot machines The slot machines will maintain their trusty, one-armed bandit look - but with a fresh coat of paint. Perk cards can now be bought using soda vending machines that you can find spread out across the map. I felt like redesigning the machines was a necessary step after some of your feedback made it clear they needed more polish and character to really match the "Vegas" vibe. The goal was to give them that flashy, over-the-top look while keeping the dark tone of the game. Enemies Along with the machines, the demons will also be…

- Hellbreach: Vegas - Build ‘1.0.1.’ Patch Notes - 23 August 2024
Dear survivors, First of all, I want to thank you all for your incredible support during the 1.0 launch of Hellbreach: Vegas. Seeing the full version of the game after months of refining was incredibly satisfying and I can’t begin to express how thankful I am for the community.

- The spiritual successor to old school pick-up-and-play Call of Duty Zombies is out now, on sale for $10 and gloriously free of battle pass nonsense - 16 August 2024
Co-op shooter Hellbreach: Vegas has reached its 1.0 release after a little over a year of early access. While the pick-up-and-play FPS has gotten a $5 price increase over early access, a launch sale will keep it at the initial $10 price until August 28... Read more.
- Classic CoD Zombies returns as Hellbreach Vegas hits 1.0 on Steam - 14 August 2024
Left 4 Dead 3, despite being a dead-set winner to conquer zombie games on Steam, seems unlikely to appear any time soon. Back 4 Blood has been put to bed by Turtle Rock Studios. Killing Floor 3 is yet to have a date. Call of Duty Zombies shambles on in Black Ops 6, yet in a perhaps fittingly twisted form far from the days of old. Hellbreach: Vegas , however, is out right now - having just stepped out of early access on the Valve store - and might be just the FPS game you need to scratch that co-op wave survival itch.

Dive into the 1.0 release and take a peek at the new map in our 1.0 Release Trailer: After six months of Early Access where – with the community’s precious input & feedback – I was able to shape Hellbreach: Vegas into its best possible version, the game is releasing with 7 maps, 5 game modes, 10 enemy types, and over 20 weapons. Hellbreach is available on Steam for $14.99/€14.79/£12.79 with a devilishly tempting 33% discount.

- Hellbreach: Vegas - Pre 1.0 Launch FAQ! - 12 August 2024
Dear Survivors, With the 1.0 release of Hellbreach: Vegas on our doorstep, we figured that some of you might still have some burning questions - as always, you can hop on our Discord or our Discussion page and ask away!

What is the difference between the Early Access version of the game and the 1.0? The 1.0 release includes several significant enhancements and additions. It features more maps, game modes, accessories, and weapons, offering a richer an…

Dear Survivors, Welcome to the detailed breakdown of the patch notes for the latest patch of Hellbreach: Vegas!

- Throwback Zombies-style shooter Hellbreach: Vegas drops an updated demo to announce the full launch coming in August - 11 July 2024
Hellbreach: Vegas is a title that, to my ear, sounds like a weird mashup of Hellgate: London and Rainbow Six: Vegas. And it sort of is, in the sense that terrible supernatural horrors are afoot in Sin City and it's up to you and your heavily-armed pals to do something about it. It's been in early access on Steam since March, and today publisher Iceberg Interactive announced that the full 1.0 release is coming on August 14... Read more.
- Left 4 Dead challenger Hellbreach Vegas sets 1.0 launch date - 11 July 2024
With both Valve itself and former staff members regularly debunking rumors of Left 4 Dead 3, it seems unlikely we'll see Steam's most iconic zombie game return any time soon. Fortunately, we've had other games such as Killing Floor 2, Back 4 Blood, and the ever-present Call of Duty Zombies to help keep us busy in the meantime, but now Hellbreach: Vegas is here to deliver a fresh batch of the undead to tackle in co-op FPS action.

- All Hell Breaks Loose: Hellbreach: Vegas 1.0 Is Launching August 14th, 2024 - 11 July 2024
Dear Survivors, This time, I’m bringing you more than just a regular blog; this one also moves me personally. After a very productive Early Access period, in which Hellbreach has grown with 4 new maps, 2 game modes, a lot of new cosmetics, and a ton of improvements on both the visual and gameplay fronts, I’m proud to announce that... Hellbreach: Vegas is launching out of Early Access on the 14th of August, 2024. It’s been a long journey, with the game being in development for 3+ years, and it taking on many different shapes and forms, evolving from the dark horror tech demo Sin Survivor into the fast-paced round-based shooter it is now. When you’re working on a project for this long you become intertwined with it. Its peaks and valleys become your own. However, I’m proud to say that, in the end, the peaks won. I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude towards the…
