Hey!

It’s been a long time since our latest love letter… if you followed our social media, you may know why but let’s sum up the latest news!

Nintendo Switch!

We are so so so thrilled about that! Double Kick Heroes is coming to the Nintendo Switch! We partnered with Nintendo to announce the game will come to this incredible console. We also revealed one of our future Hellgate’s host, the amazing GOJIRA. Controls are not finalized, we’ll make sure to test it a lot and display it in conventions so you can make your own minds.

Chapter 6 is coming!

We worked a lot on chapter 6, the bosses are done, the levels are ready, we are tinkering everything and polishing. The story is now complete and we are very eager to show it to you. Spoiler : PAIN, THERE WILL BE PAIN ( stay safe and take breaks though, we love y’all! )

Hellgate pack 3

We will soon announce all the guest in the next pack, stay tuned on the social media. Let’s just say it will feature some very cool METAL from other indie video games !

Surprises

We added many surprises in the next update but a bit of spoiler never hurts :

Double grenades are now possible
Many monsters now have better behaviours
Some songs received new solos and vocals
Some fixes & framerate optimizations everywhere

The next version is still TBA but expect an update in a few weeks, we are waiting for the final vocal masters to release it.

Quality Of Life

As you may know, our ingame editor and roguelike mode are still lagging behind, feature-wise... because we had to finish the core game. It took us MUCH MUCH more time than expected...well let’s say Elmobo was super generous and the new songs are long and dense. No regret.🤘 In March when core content is finalised, we will distribute quality of life patches for these modes, no worries. This means :

UI will be tinkered
More monsters in the editor
Better discoverability of third party songs

Chapter 6 & Final release

As you may have understood, the game will be fully released on PC after the Switch version for reasons you may guess ( otherwise don’t hesitate to come to discord, we’ll explain ). It doesn’t mean you don’t get to try the latest chapters... In a few weeks we will open a very special Beta for you to try the full game. So no worry if you cannot wait, we got you covered with a cool solution :) In the meantime the PC game will receive quality of life improvements and new hellgate packs.

New Guests

Our guest list is now complete ! Here is a spoiler :

So… we have got additional content planned for months, we won’t let you down🤘

PAX East 2019

We’ll be at PAX East with some mysterious friends ! We’ll present you our latest versions and hopefully we can meet you there and have fun there! Steam post image

Final words
