Hi everyone,
We want to start with a sincere thank you to everyone who has supported Eyes of Hellfire since its Early Access launch. Whether you joined during playtests, played with friends, shared the game with others, or spent time exploring the haunted lodge, your support and enthusiasm have meant a great deal.
Today, we have an important update to share.
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to wind down development on Eyes of Hellfire. We are incredibly proud of what the team at Gambrinous created and the vision they brought to life with the game. While this was not an easy decision, we ultimately determined it was the right time to conclude development beyond Early Access.
This was not an easy decision.
The game will remain live and available to play on Steam, and we hope players continue to enjoy it with friends. However, it will no longer receive new content updates, with the exception of the addition of Simplified Chinese language support, which is currently being finalized.
We also want to acknowledge the passion and feedback the community has shared over the past months. From gameplay ideas to new ways to experience the game, your input has been heard and appreciated by both Blumhouse and the team at Gambrinous.
To help address some common questions, please see the FAQ below:
