'Hellraid' (ALL) Showing Off Engine Transition

by Rainier on Sept. 15, 2014 @ 11:26 a.m. PDT

Hellraid is a first-person co-op slasher that offers two games in one: a single-player, story-driven campaign of hack & slash action; and unique, co-operative multiplayer that pits four players against the denizens of hell.

The armies of Hell brought pain and destruction to the realm of man, and only a select few have the fighting skills necessary to confront the devilish monstrosities. Combining elements of hack & slash RPGs, first-person shooters and online multiplayer games, Hellraid features an advanced, immersive combat system with melee, ranged and magical weapons. The engaging Game Master system makes each game a different experience, placing loot and enemies while generating random online challenges.

With exploration, looting, questing, weapon crafting, boss fights, armor customization, character development, leaderboards, magic and so much more, Hellraid is set to drag you straight to hell.

In April, Techland announced that Hellraid would come to next-gen platforms and was now undergoing a transition to Chrome Engine 6, the latest version of Techland’s technology designed to take full advantage of the new hardware generation. In August, the effect of this profound change was presented to invited journalists at gamescom in Cologne, Germany. Now everyone will be able to see how these months of hard work have changed Hellraid.

For the first time ever, Hellraid will be shown publicly after its transition to Chrome Engine 6 (Techland’s proprietary next-gen engine that also fuels Dying Light), tomorrow, September 16th, at 10:00 AM PDT streamed live on Twitch.
