Hello, minions!
We've been quiet for a while, but now you won't get rid of us that easily. It's time for yet another announcement! But before we dive into today's news (including the update's release date and a closer look at the new boss!), we'd like to quickly thank you for your support following last week's announcement!
Your reactions to the Till Death Do Us Part reveal were amazing, and you truly made our day. Seeing you excited for what's to come gives us even more motivation to work harder than ever. The same goes for the warm reception of our new game's demo! And we have something to share about that, too, so without further ado, let's get started!
TO THE DARK VALLEY I ENTERED…
No more teasing. Straight to business. We're thrilled to announce that…
THE TILL DEATH DO US PART UPDATE WILL LAUNCH ON NOVEMBER 16TH
The new realm is already pretty much ready, and we've implemented most of the new features and improvements. However, there are still things that require some work, and we believe the next four weeks will be enough to iron out the remaining issues and tie up all the loose ends. So, if you're looking for something to play during those few days before GTA VI launches, we've got you covered! ;)
… AND DEATH ITSELF I SAW…
What would a new realm be without a new ruler? The Purgatory levels will, of course, feature a boss fight against a formidable new adversary, and naturally, it's going to be Death itself. And here's a sneak peek at what it looks like.
As you know, each major adversary in Be My Horde has had a rather unique relationship with Moriana. King Richard dared to banish the necromancess from his court, which led to Moriana's invasion of his kingdom… so let's just say they didn't get along particularly well. The Devil was a different story, with him and Moriana coming dangerously close to a fiery romance… until our Lady brutally cut it short by killing the poor ruler of Hell. Now it's Death's turn, and we hope you'll enjoy the story we've prepared for these two.
And we've already found someone to help us breathe some… life?… into the character. Please give a warm welcome to KATIE AITKEN, who will be voicing our newest boss! We can't wait for you to hear her amazing performance in the game!
… IT LET ME LOOK BEHIND THE VEIL…
On our Discord server, we regularly share behind-the-scenes materials from the development of Till Death Do Us Part. Recently, we showcased two new units — the Hound and the Bastion — along with some fresh assets for the Purgatory realm. We've included them below for you to check out, but here's a quick reminder: feel free to join our server to stay up to date with everything we're working on!
… AND I WITNESSED… STEAM NEXT FEST?
A quick detour to the Here Comes the Horde corner. Once again, thank you so much for all the love you've shown our new game! And we've got some exciting news about it, too!
First of all, the game is taking part in the newly launched STEAM NEXT FEST. To celebrate the occasion, we've updated the demo with not only fixes and improvements but also… fully voiced lines for both our Lady Moriana and King Richard III Ovine! From now on, their banter will accompany you throughout the gameplay. Amber Lee Connors and Ryan Cooper have returned to reprise their roles, and as always, they've done an extraordinary job behind the microphones. Definitely check it out! You can learn more about the demo update here:
Second, it may not come as a surprise, but we're thrilled to announce that HERE COMES THE HORDE WILL LAUNCH ON… NOVEMBER 16TH!
Yup, that's right. It's going to be one wild autumn Monday for us as we launch both a major update for our main game and its full-fledged spin-off on the very same day. So… keep your fingers crossed for us and send some encouraging words our way, because we're definitely going to need them. Are we crazy to do this? Just a little bit, but hey, at least there's never a dull moment in this job!
That's it for today! Stay tuned for more information, and feel free to share your thoughts on Death. And if you have a moment, show Here Comes the Horde some love and give the demo a try!
PRAISE BE MORIANA!
