'Hellbound' Delayed Until 2020, Demo Available NOW - Screens

by Rainier on Nov. 22, 2019 @ 8:45 a.m. PST

Hellbound is a first-person shooter game in the vein of the classics like DOOM, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and many others.

Inspired by shooters of the past, the Hellbound experience is focused on shooting, explosions, blood and speed. You have never played something so GROTESQUE!

Players take control of Hellgore, a big-ass motherf*cker who kills demons in Hell. That’s it. Is there a story behind all this? Well… yes, there’s a story, but it's not that important! The real protagonists are the fast-paced action and the gory violence.

When it’s time to destroy demons with bones, bullets, or bare hands, Hellgore is the man for the job. This big, stitched-up slab of muscle has one thing on his mind: crimson carnage. Well, he has his own fully fleshed-out backstory, but that’s not important right now. Just know that he’s no stranger to gunning down the demonic denizens of Hell.


Devastated that Doom’s launch date has moved? Have no fear! Saibot Studios is launching a brand new demo for Hellbound today, so you can get your frantic, blood-soaked first person shooter fix anyway!

In this demo, get ready for your first taste of Hellbound. You will visit the Unholy Lands of Hell, a forgotten place that was sacred once. Now, just another rotten refuge for evil. Let's make those demons pay respect to our Ancestors!

Key Features:

  • Play as Hellgore, the Ultimate Demon Smashing Badass.
  • Experience one of the early episodes of the Hellbound single player campaign.
  • Discover Hellgore ́s arsenal including the Infamous Indolora and the monstrous Triple Shotgun.
  • Succumb to the relentless Old-School FPS gameplay presented in glorious (and Gory) High-End Graphics.

Hellbound is a ‘90s FPS, 20 years later with old-school gameplay, and new-school quality. Remember when shooters were brutally hard, fast-paced, and violent? Imagine that rendered grotesquely in Unreal Engine 4. In the Survival Mode available today for free, Hellgore smashes and blasts monsters in a wave-based arena, reveling in chaos as heavy metal and industrial music chugs in the background. Every wave summons hordes of enemies to cleave through.

Five weapons round out Hellgore’s arsenal in Survival Mode, with more to come through frequent updates. The Headcrusher, Simple Shotgun, Triple Shotgun, Indolora (remember Ol’ Painless from Predator?), and Rocket Launcher are his implements of destruction as he takes on the soldiers of Hell. Power-ups like Hell Damage, Hell Speed, and Hell Skin increase your attack power, speed, and explosive resistance respectively.

Hellbound is coming to PC (Steam) in 2020.
