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 tweak |

| HOTFIX V1.0.3.: Grenades | 2024-03-22 | Dear Survivors, In the last patch I spotted an issue with the grenades now being reloadable from the chest, and felt like I needed to hotfix it. After this patch, you could simply get a vortex grenade from the slot machine and restock it using the ammo chest. This was not as intended. You're only supposed to restock the basic grenades. I'm aware people think the basic grenades in general are still underpowered, and I will be looking into solutions for this matter in a later update. See you in the streets of Vegas!
