- Online COOP is turned off - 26 November 2025
Dear HordeCore players, Unfortunately, we have to turn the online COOP off because the server costs are too high, giving not that much in terms of possibilities. You could use Steam Remove Play Together via a Local COOP if you still want to play online. It works in the game, and all you need to do is invite a friend and start a session together. Have a great end of the day!
- Steam Trading Cards arrived - 22 November 2023
Dear survivors, We are happy to announce that the game has finally got the Trading Cards released on Steam. It's time to get new emoticons, backgrounds and the trading cards there in the game. Make sure to get the ones you've earned already. See you in the battlefield.

- HordeCore Update v1.09 - 14 March 2022
Herllo! Our first big update for HordeCore is live! KEYBINDS Following your suggestions, we have now added permanent alternative keybinds for left-handed players! They’re all active by default and work in tandem with all the previous keybinds, so you don’t need to change anything. These are the alternative controls: ARROW KEYS = Movement RIGHT SHIFT = Sneaking DELETE, END, PAGE DOWN, PAGE UP = Abilities NUMPAD 1, 2, 3 and 4 = Abilities (alternative) NUMPAD 0 = Swap characters RIGHT CTRL, ENTER/RETURN = Pick Up / Use / Interact We appreciate your feedback on these, and fully intend to continue to improve on accessibility wherever possible. IMPROVEMENTS - You may now craft Skill Modifiers in your camp. Experiment away! - Boss fights have been tuned and revamped, adding a new dynamic layer of enemy spawns on Bob, Bog Beast and the Guardian; - Opening a card pack once your collection is alr…
- Hotfix v1.08 - 10 March 2022
Hello! New update is live. Fixes: - Achievement "PokerMan" has been fixed and should now unlock as soon as you get to a camp, as long as you have completed the card collection in that save; - Killing bosses in multiplayer matches will now also trigger the specific boss killing achievements; - Finishing the single player Story mode and continuing to play will now also trigger the "Is Anyone Out There?" achievement since the game mode automatically changes to the Wastelands; - "Master of Cards" achievement will now trigger on any card game, and not just the first card game encounter in the Story mode.
- Hotfix v1.07 - 4 March 2022
Hi! We just released a new hotfix. We had a recurring issue in multiplayer. Joining a server that is already in progress would result in the joining player never starting to see the spawns. Now when a player joins a server that is already in progress, we force that player's spawns to activate on their own after a fixed number of seconds. This completely solves the issue for the rest of the match. Other changes: - Adjusted the bullet shooting origin point's rotation on Engineer classes when they have no weapon equipped, because we noticed that on multiplayer their bullets would sometimes go higher than they were being aimed. Now it is always aiming forward from the pistol instead of rotating with the rest of the animation, which prevents this deviation. This adjustment is strictly done in the animation itself.
- Hotfix v1.06 - 3 March 2022
Hi! We've just issued our first hotfix Changes: - Fixed an issue causing a potential progress blocker in the multiplayer map "Factory of Shadows 3.3". - Fixed an issue causing the rescue decision UI to not display properly when rescuing a new Survivor inside the Factory. Thank you for your support and enjoy HordeCore!

The list is HUGE, so let’s dig into it! CONTENT A strange green fog has appeared throughout the wastelands, and there are rumors of Survivors being taken away by red-hooded figures wearing unusual masks.
