Independent developer Zero Gravity today announced that their first-person space survival multiplayer title Hellion is getting its biggest update yet on June 22nd. The update 0.2 will include many new features and content that have been requested by the Hellion community since the Steam Early Access launch earlier this year, including a first comprehensive tutorial, female character option, new weapons and more.
For Hellion update 0.2, Zero Gravity team is working on game optimization and stability, enhanced survival gameplay mechanics and better navigation and flight systems. The updated build will include a lot of new items and inventory changes, more weapons, doomed outposts as world events and improved ship and station customization. The new content should add multiple hours of gameplay for existing and new players alike.
About the Game:
A solar system thousands of lightyears from Earth, Hellion is the destination of the first interstellar colonization mission of the 23rd century. A million colonists, suspended in cryogenic hibernation, wake up a century later and find themselves trapped in a nightmare. Instead of grand habitats and planets waiting to receive new settlers, there is only evidence of devastation and conflict everywhere with ruins, debris fields and empty stations. With no trace of UN officials, corporate representatives, engineers, scientists or law enforcement troops, and a rescue operation over half a century away, colonists turn to scavenging, stealing and outright violence. Others try to live in a more civilized way and begin uncovering the truth behind the largest disaster in human history.
Check out the Trailer:
Hellion is an ambitious project. It is an immersive world set in a solar system many lightyears from the comforts of Earth and is entirely based on the laws of Newtonian physics.
Hellion will make its debut as an Early Access game. EA version represents the basics of the vision behind this dark world. As our community grows and the player base expands, the game will evolve beyond these confines and become a true space survival that we can all enjoy. Open and honest communication between developers and community is the cornerstone of this idea. We are always open for discussion with our players as we believe that each and every one of us can add something to this project. Join us in the dystopian future that is Hellion and let’s build this world together!
Below is a comprehensive list of features planned for Hellion’s early access. Most of these are already in the game, some of them will undergo modification and improvement while others will be implemented during the course of Early Access (features marked as completed are the ones that will be present from the start and possibly modified and improved upon, based on community feedback)…
