Originally announced in 2021, Histera is a free-to-play arena shooter accessible for up to 16 players of all levels to jump right in!

In this fast-paced FPS, players must adapt to survive the Glitch — a chaotic space-time anomaly transforming sections of the map without warning. Will you be able to master the Glitch and secure victory?

Battle with weapons from the past, present and future as you compete to master The Glitch. The Glitch will change the battlefield around you shifting between eras as the bullets fly! One moment you’ll be taking the high ground in a prehistoric valley, only for the ground to shift under your feet, transforming into a tightly packed WW2 warehouse or a gleaming high-tech city street… and more locations are coming.

Choose your weapon loadout carefully as every era has unique strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their weaponry, allowing for some era-defying synergies. Compliment your anti-tank rifle with some flint throwing knives or your assault rifle with a… prehistoric poison shotgun?! Fight as part of a team and prove yourself in competitive team deathmatches and territory control.

Histera is an arena shooter accessible for players of all skill levels. The game is free-to-play and won’t feature any pay-to-win systems, so everyone will be able to jump right in! However, those who are skilled enough may attempt to take the fight to the Glitch itself for powerful rewards.

StickyLock continues to prepare the fickle battlefields in Histera, highlighting the tools that players can use to gain the upper hand against their enemies in the heat of battle.

With the Glitch reshaping the field, you and your teammates will need all the help you can get! 

StickyLock also revealed that Histera will be available through Steam Early Access soon.

The Glitch

There’s little time to waste when you’re trying to survive in Histera, where the Glitch can change the playing field in the heat of battle. You’ll recognize the signs of an incoming Glitch when the air around you pulses across the battlefield. Your surroundings will start to destabilize and you’ll have to reconsider your position and that of the enemy — the cover your target is hiding behind might fall away, giving you the perfect opportunity to take them out. Still, there’s no time to linger and you’ll have but a few more moments to switch up your strategy: will you push on or fall back? 

The Battlefield

You’ll find yourself scouring through the prehistoric Pliocene Plateau, war-ridden mid-20th century Novgorod or the futuristic Montorro City. Due to the Glitch, sections of these maps will shift and merge with little warning, keeping you on your toes until the very end. 

The Equipement

When you head into battle, you’ll have a variety of weapons from all Eras at your disposal to equip yourself with. From military-grade knives that can be used in close-quarters to prehistoric bow and arrow or modern automatic weapons — each offering their own advantages and way of handling.

The Pick-ups

A number of pick-ups are spread out across the map that can give you a timely edge on the battlefield by refilling your ammo supply or restoring some of your health points, for instance. However, players who take the risk to venture into the heart of the Glitch are rewarded with much more powerful pick-ups that they can find there. These can double your damage output, grant you infinite ammo, regenerate or expand your health points, accelerate your movement speed or allow you to steal the health of an enemy target. Getting a hold of one of these just might turn the tide in your favor!

Key Features:

• The Glitch: adjust your strategy to take advantage of the chaos caused by the Glitch. Master different terrains in the past, present and future.
• Fast and Feverish: push yourself to the limit as you rush to adapt and gain (or keep!) the advantage every time the Glitch occurs. The team that can best adapt to Histera’s unpredictable, time-distorting mosh pit will claim victory!
• High replayability: with the Glitch mechanic transforming the map in the midst of the action, no two rounds of Histera will play out the same.
• Mix it up: battle through prehistoric caves, a WW2 city under siege and the neon bathed streets of a dystopian metropolis wielding anything from spears to machine guns as time periods collide.
• Choose your weapon: use a wide variety of weapons to withstand the chaos wrought by the Glitch — will you stay in the shadows with a prehistoric hunting bow, or get up close with The Matchstick, a futuristic shotgun that can be loaded with incendiary rounds? 
• Versatile: perfect for easygoing fans of the shooter genre looking for something different as well as hardcore gamers seeking their latest challenge.

Histera is coming to PC (Steam) in 2024.
