🆕What's next for HARD BULLET in 2025?
The biggest milestone for us right now is the Quest 3/3s release, and we’re making great progress every day. Our goal is to bring the full functionality of the PC version to Quest while polishing the mechanics to deliver the best possible experience.
Since 2020, Hard Bullet has grown and evolved tremendously, thanks to the incredible support and creativity of our community. Together, we’ve built a game with a solid concept, unique features, and a clear path toward version 1.0, including the highly anticipated Story/Roguelite mode.
With that in mind, we’re committed to making the Quest version feel like a complete, high-quality release — not an early-access title. While some elements like certain physics objects or the extensive variety of firearms might not make it in on day one, we’re ensuring that the core brutality, physics, and fun are all there.
Our strategy is to deliver a polished, visually stunning, and brutal experience to Quest players, gradually bringing it closer to the PC version with updates. Major features like improved AI and the Story/Roguelite mode will roll out later this year, making the game even better across all platforms.
We’re excited to bring Hard Bullet to Quest and make it the best it can be — thank you for being part of this journey!
