*.Dear players,
Greetings! I'm Zeyu Yang (杨泽宇), the designer of Out of Hands.
Today, I'm excited to share the amazing news about the upcoming updates.
Due to certain external factors, the release of our new game mode has been significantly delayed compared to the pre-launch schedule. We sincerely apologize for this long delay and for keeping all of you waiting.
Currently, this new mode has entered the final polishing phase and is expected to be updated around January 17, 2026 (CST, GMT+8) . Along with this update, we will also roll out the long-promised language support for German, French, and Korean, as well as a basic version of the Steam Workshop feature—all available simultaneously.
In the past half-year or so since Out of Hands launched, we have continuously received encouragement and support from players and fellow developers alike. I am truly grateful for this. We hope this upcoming update will bring you even more enjoyment in your gameplay.
I. Updates
1. Brand-New Mode
We’ve worked to bring players who love Out of Hands a highly replayable Roguelike mode.
Players can use a variety of characters and decks to challenge enemies of different difficulty levels in the dream world.
Unlike the linear, one-time experience of story mode levels, the map, cards, and enemies will have a certain degree of randomness every time you start a game. Even if you challenge yourself repeatedly, you can still maintain a sense of freshness. Whether you want to pass the boring fragmented time by grinding, or try to build different decks and test different combat strategies, you can all find a rhythm that suits yourself.
2. Multilingual Support
And as you have noticed, this Update News is written in English... That's because we’ve partnered with professional teams to launch localization for our new Roguelike mode in 6 languages simultaneously: Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, German, French, and Korean.
Additionally, we’ll conduct a second round of proofreading for the German, French, and Korean localization texts that were already in progress — our goal is to bring the unique charm of Out of Hands to players around the world!
II. Steam Scream Fest 2025 Discount
Out of Hands is now part of the Steam Scream Fest 2025 promotion — enjoy an instant 20% discount when you purchase the game! If you love our work, feel free to share it with friends and explore the game world together.
Finally, thank you again for your patience and support! Please keep giving a big hand to Out of Hands!
Sincerely,
Game River Team & Out of Hands Designer
