Welcome back for another content drop, regulars! While you might have already guessed from the roadmap that you'd be getting a new enemy, there's also some other gameplay goodies that have dropped.

Power ups, upgrade benches and the Gravity Gauntlet has undergone some exciting upgrades! Check out the full Patch v0.1.2 notes below:

NEW ENEMY - TILLY

Who is this sweet innocent child who appears to be lost in The Facility? Oh. That's Tilly. We wouldn't exactly call her sweet...or innocent, and maybe not a child either. She's also hiding a KNIFE in that trench coat and she's not afraid to use it.

You might want to run.

ADDED NEW SHAPESHIFTER DRINK PROP

-You can now turn into a Pickle.

ADDED POWER UPS

Power Ups are now available! Throughout your Crawls in the Facility, smashing crates and killing enemies will have a random chance for a Power Up drop. Collect them to give you an instant bonus that can help you or maybe even your whole team on your Crawl. Picture it now, you and your teammates are in the red, when you find a clutch HEAL Power Up and heal the entire team!

ADDED NEW VOICE LINE

-You can coo like a pigeon now.

ADDED UPGRADE BENCHES

In The Fox Hole Arms, you'll now be able to find an Upgrade Bench! This will allow you to upgrade both your Gravity Gauntlet and your scanner. They each have five upgrade levels that can make your Crawls more efficient and more fun! You also might want to keep reading for the other additions to the Gravity Gauntlet...

NEW FIXES & UPDATES

- Updated the Gravity Gauntlet so the throw can now charge into a harder throw

- Updated the Gravity Gauntlet crosshair

- Lowered the amount of items the Gravity Gauntlet can pick up to 2 by default

- Bar snacks in the pub now have their own individual display

- Adjusted ingredient spawns in levels so there's less of them but more with higher value

- Lowered the damage of the web attack on the spider

- Fixed a bug causing the web attack from the spider enemy to not root you

- Fixed a bug causing the ingredient damage numbers to not appear

- Fixed a bug causing the pinging system to not render properly

- Fixed a bug causing the Badger voice line to not play

Thank you for checking out the latest updates and additions! Will you be spamming the Shapeshifter Cocktail so you can turn into a Pickle?

- Added a chance to spawn an Equipment Cache in Crawls, allowing you to purchase devices to help your crawl.

NEW ENEMY ADDED

A new enemy has awoken. Say hello to Hollow Man. Is it an abandoned corpse...or is it a Hollow Man? Either way, you may want to be a little more careful around them now.

FIXED ISSUES & UPDATES

Hazard Levels is coming to Steam Early Access 30 April 2026 , with a console launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in Q4 2026 . Enter unstable rifts, survive otherworldly creatures, and grab bizarre ingredients to fuel a secret brewery hidden beneath a British pub. Hazard Levels is a

Hazard Levels is coming to Steam Early Access 30 April 2026, with a console launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in Q4 2026. Enter unstable rifts, survive otherworldly creatures, and grab bizarre ingredients to fuel a secret brewery hidden beneath a British pub. Hazard Levels is a 1–4 player physics-driven co-op survival horror where the deeper you go, the stranger it gets. Just make it back before last orders.

Sink your teeth into the brand new trailer for this new title from the Sker Ritual devs...

Watch on YouTube

1–4 PLAYER SURVIVAL WITH PROX CHAT

Play solo or with up to three friends to tackle the horrors of each rift. Coordination is key, survival is not guaranteed. Proximity voice chat enabled. Supports both third and first person play*

PROCEDURAL RIFT DIMENSIONS

No two expeditions are the same. Each rift generates new biomes, shifting layouts, randomised hazards, and escalating threats that force your team to adapt.

GRAVITY GAUNTLET LOOTING

Use the Gravity Gauntlet to grab, carry, and throw multiple objects at once. Harvest bizarre rift-grown ingredients and sell them at rift stations while surviving the creatures that stalk each dimension.

UNPREDICTABLE RIFT CREATURES

Terrifying creatures lurk within every dimension. Study their behaviour, learn their weaknesses, and avoid becoming their next victim in this gunless survival horror experience.

RIFT SCANNING & PORTALS

Use your state-of-the-art Rift Scanner to locate dimensional anomalies, then deploy a Rift Stabilising Device to tear open unstable portals. Step through and discover what waits on the other side.

PERK COCKTAILS

Sample experimental drinks brewed from otherworldly rift ingredients. Some grant powerful abilities… others cause complete chaos.

THE FOX HOLE ARMS

Your HQ is a traditional British pub hiding the Family’s secret R&D facility. Between expeditions customise your outfit, mix perk drinks, review mission intel, or drop a coin in the jukebox. Just don’t piss off the Landlord.

We hope you join us at The Fox Hole Arms when Hazard Levels opens its Early Access doors on April 30th on Steam. In the meantime be sure to wishlist and join us over on the Discord!

Hazard Levels is changing.

It's been pretty quiet from us for a while, and we wanted to explain why.

Over the last few months our core six-person dev team (we've grown, hurrah!) has been prototyping, testing and reworking the game behind the scenes. After playing it ourselves and running small pre-alpha tests, we came to a simple conclusion: it was not as fun as it should be.

When we first announced Hazard Levels, a lot of people assumed it was a shooter. That was on us. The early direction leaned too heavily into that space, and it was not quite landing how we wanted. The core idea was always about surviving unstable rifts with friends, but the way we were presenting it blurred that. So, we’ve done something about it.

Hazard Levels is still a 1–4 player co-op survival horror. That has not changed. What has changed is the feel of it. We are focusing much more on physics, creative survival tools and unpredictable moments between players, rather than traditional gunplay.

In fact, for now, there are no guns.

Instead, the emphasis is on tension, coordination, strange utility devices and systems that create chaos in ways we think are more interesting and more “us”. It is still horror. It is still dangerous. But it is less about aiming down sights and more about surviving the situation you have put yourselves in.

We want the game to feel intense, slightly absurd at times, and genuinely fun to play with other people. This was not a quick decision. It meant reworking parts of the game and admitting that our first pass was not hitting the mark. But we would rather do that now than push forward with something we are not fully confident in.

We have a brand-new trailer to share soon, and more details on our Early Access roadmap. If you would like to be part of the journey, and get involved in playtests, come join our Discord and have direct access to chat with the devs!

If you have stuck around despite the silence, thank you. It genuinely means a lot to a small team like ours.
