• We're flying — HEXSTORM: Tears of Arcadia is out now - 3 August 2026

  We're taking off! HEXSTORM: Tears of Arcadia is out. We worked on it longer than we planned, rebuilt more of it than we wanted, and never dropped a single idea we believed in. The Arcadia is in your hands now. The last few days turned out to be the longest of the whole project. The game was ready; the button wasn't. Thank you to everyone who waited them out and kept the game on their wishlist. There are several thousand of you, and that drives us harder than any deadline. Inside: a thirty-mission campaign, four challenge modes, air combat, meteor showers, sandstorms and ice peaks. Turrets, drones, ship upgrades, a story worth following, and no two battles alike. Windows, macOS, Linux. Six languages. 15% off for the first week. Thank you for waiting. See you aboard the Arcadia.

• A short delay - 26 July 2026

  Friends, HEXSTORM: Tears of Arcadia was set to launch today. It may be delayed by a couple of days. The reason is dull: the build is still sitting in Valve's technical review queue. This is a normal step every Steam release goes through, and ours simply hasn't come up yet. The game itself is finished and tested. We're waiting on a green light, nothing more — a matter of days, not weeks. And when it launches, it launches complete: the full campaign, Windows, macOS and Linux, and full localization in English, Russian, Spanish, French, German and Simplified Chinese. Thank you to everyone who wishlisted and cleared their evening for this. Sorry to make you wait — it won't be long.
