Anomaly Farm is Here!
Hello everyone, Today we’re thrilled to release a brand-new way to experience Hired 2 Die: the Anomaly Farm mode! This isn’t just a small addition—it’s a completely new way to play. In Anomaly Farm, the rules are twisted, the pressure is higher, and chaos lurks around every corne
Hello everyone,
Today we’re thrilled to release a brand-new way to experience Hired 2 Die: the Anomaly Farm mode!
This isn’t just a small addition—it’s a completely new way to play. In Anomaly Farm, the rules are twisted, the pressure is higher, and chaos lurks around every corner. Here’s what makes it stand out:
Distortions from both maps, A Simple Job and The House Always Wins, now appear together in a single, terrifying setting.
Random modifiers shake up the experience every run—expect the unexpected, from slower movement to limited vision, or facing Distortions under harsher conditions.
Instead of the usual contracts, this mode is all about a time rush: complete tasks to extend your survival and push your team further.
And the best part? Anomaly Farm is available for free to everyone who already owns the game. No expansions, no extra purchases—just jump in and play.
This is only the beginning. We’ll be watching closely as you explore the farm, share your strategies, and discover just how long you can last when everything is against you.
See you in the fields. Good luck surviving.
— The Hired 2 Die Team

What if everything you thought you knew about surviving the workday… suddenly didn’t apply?
This September, Hired 2 Die will introduce a brand-new game mode, and it’s not like anything you’ve played before.
What We Can Say (For Now):
It breaks the current conventions of the game.
An endless race against time
It introduces new gameplay rules exclusive to this mode.
Creatures from both A Simple Job and The House Always Wins will appear in a single, terrifying contract.
You’ll be able to unlock the first skin ever released for the game.
You’ve survived the monsters. You’ve followed the rules.
Now, we’re changing the game.
More details coming soon.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working non-stop to reshape huge parts of the game based on community feedback, and this latest update might be our biggest one yet.
What’s Changed?
Idferno and Egoshade in “A Simple Job” have been completely rebuilt from scratch.
New AI
New behaviors
New materials
New visual effects
New sounds

Cleaning, packing, burning, locking, and dismantling now feel way more fluid, immersive, and satisfying.
New visual effects and interaction feedback on tasks across all maps.
New Story Mode.
A much easier game mode for players who want to enjoy the chaos without sweating too much. Great for learning or casual play. (Look for the little book icon next to START on the contract selection screen!)
It Doesn’t Stop There...
Cloud Saves now work.
New map selection screen.
New accessibility options, including puzzle simplification.
Shortcut keys for cycling security cameras.
Tons of gameplay tweaks, balance adjustments, and bug fixes.
Even the Demo has been updated to reflect all these changes.
Plus... everything from the last updates:
-Portuguese voice acting
-Full controller support and official Steam Deck profile
-Revamped areas in “A Simple Job” and other maps
-Improved character models
-Faster task interactions
-Faster anomaly photo processing
-CPU optimizations
-New UI buttons like Back to Main Menu
And so much more...
Check it out. This might be your first time… or your first time all over again.
