Become the unstoppable, destructive force at the center of Hell's eternal war.

Bellum Inferni is a brutal descent into the pits of Hell, where you carve your way to power as a ruthless warlord. The last prince of hell has fallen into an eternal slumber, and in the power vacuum that followed, a struggle for control has begun. As Savnok, a demon lord favored of Lucifer, you will rampage throughout the damned realms, gathering an infernal force in a bid to bring Hell’s eternal conflict to Heaven’s doorstep.

This is the ultimate power fantasy of being an unstoppable force, mowing down thousands of enemies in a way previously unmatched in the FPS genre. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Bellum Inferni revolutionizes the player experience by fusing high-intensity, push-forward action FPS combat with expansive battlefield warfare. You will command legions of damned souls, unleash hellish powers, and summon monstrous beasts to crush your foes in a blaze of violence.

Players will not only master a visceral, high-speed combat system but will also command and fight against legions of more than 50,000 active units on a sprawling battlefield. This unique fusion delivers the ultimate power fantasy of being an unstoppable demonic warlord at the center of a truly epic, cinematic war.

Founded by 20-year industry veteran and IllFonic co-founder Kedhrin Gonzalez, in partnership with a former Gears of War, Halo Infinite, Rainbow Six Siege, Witcher 3, and Cyberpunk 2077 developers, Rip & Tear Studios is proud to unveil its debut title, Bellum Inferni.

Rip & Tear Studios was forged with a clear mission: to build the kind of uncompromising, focused, and immersive FPS games that the founding team has loved and crafted for decades. The studio’s veteran-led team has extensive experience shipping dozens of titles in leadership roles across major franchises and is leveraging that expertise to solve modern development challenges through a transparent, community-first approach.

To that end, Rip & Tear Studios has launched a Patreon to invite fans to support and participate in the crucial early stages of s development. The campaign provides the community with a front-row seat to the creation of a high-quality game, offering extreme transparency, behind-the-scenes access, and a masterclass in game development from a seasoned team. This initiative is designed to build a foundational community and gather feedback on the journey toward creating a polished demo for publishers and investors.

Kedhrin Gonzalez, CEO and Co-Founder of Rip & Tear Studios, said: “We’re building the kind of brutal badass game we, as diehard FPS fans, have always wanted to play. Bellum Inferni is our answer to a genre filled with untapped potential. With the support of the community, we can start this journey the right way—out in the open, with the players at our side from day one.”

"All images and video you see here is raw, pre-production footage captured at an extremely early stage of development. Performance, visuals, and gameplay mechanics are all in active prototyping - while this represents our creative direction, the quality and polish shown here are far from our final standards. While it's unconventional for a AAA studio to share such early work, we're excited to bring you along on this journey from the very beginning." -Rip & Tear Studios
