Hello, fellow citizens! We're excited to announce that a new update has landed in Century City, and it features a few improvements designed to enhance your gaming experience.

Hello, citizens! Our latest update brings a new feature: a difficulty selector for single-player mode, including a new “Normal” difficulty setting. The challenge you've come to know is still there, just now under the “Difficult” label. This rebalancing mainly tweaks the Others, specifically their spawn rates and levels. When you next jump into single-player, you'll be prompted to choose between “Difficult” or “Normal”. Your choice isn't set in stone; you can change it anytime in the settings menu. While we were under the hood, we polished up a few extra nuts and bolts: Elimination Quest XII no

Hello Citizens! In the recent HotFix, we told you about the new duo design: after listening to your feedback, we decided to modify some of its features, so that we could add something valuable to this mode! We want to talk a little bit more about this new introduction, since it is a heavily requested one by the community! First thing first: how does it work? As always, you have to invite a friend from the party menu and take to the streets together. From now on you can recognize your partner from a blue circle below its avatar, as you can see in the image below: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39298344/a1e

Hello Citizens! Today’s announcement will be very short, but we hope equally effective: we have fixed a problem with the blue circle. It was originally designed to highlight your party member, but instead, it appeared under some Other enemies in solo! Now you can go back to your brutal outings alone! Until next time, Citizens!

Hello Citizens! Today we have a short but important announcement for you: we have fixed the problem of keybindings! From now on you can once again change the settings of the keys to your liking! We are working on other fixes (for example, the blue circle of the duo that also appears for solo players), but they will take a little more time. We decided to publish this little hotfix, but more updates are coming. Thank you for your patience and understanding. See you in the City, Citizens!

Hello Citizens! Here we are with the latest HotFix Update for Hell is Others! Before looking at the other fixes, just a few words about one of the most important parts of the Update: the new duos design. You have pointed out several times the problem of the unreadable "companions" during your games. We decided to solve this by changing some of the rules related to duos: The Other partner has a blu area at its feet to differentiate it from enemies. We also make it possible to extract two players from the same lift if they are part of the same team. We’ll check your feedback to know if this new
