All news Players around this date Read on Steam

So far I’ve been posting development updates here on Steam but this time, I want to share some really exciting news:

Hexborn was recently featured by two major Japanese gaming sites — Game*Spark (like Japan’s Kotaku) and Goo News! 🎉 It’s honestly surreal to see this little retro roguelite FPS reaching players around the world so early in development, and it’s a much-needed boost for me as the developer 🙌

📰 Goo News: https://news.goo.ne.jp/article/gamespark/trend/gamespark-152711.html

🎌 Now Available in Japanese!

As a small token of appreciation to Japanese players, I have added a Japanese localization to the Steam page.

If you’re a Japanese speaker and you notice anything that could be improved, feel free to leave a comment and let me know. I’d love your feedback to make sure it reads naturally.

🎮 And If you’re new here — welcome!

It’s been a while since the last Steam update, so I wanted to share what I’ve been working on. Hexborn is a roguelite boomer shooter about surviving brutal FPS fights, drafting perks, and snowballing into an occult murder machine. But I don’t want Hexborn to feel like one flat arena where you wait for waves to arrive. Lately, I’ve been building more exploration into the runs: cast…Community29 Jan 2026⚡From Playtest to Progress - The New Active Perk WheelHey everyone! Recently I brought Hexborn to DreamHack (a big gaming festival here in Sweden) and ran the demo live on the show floor. It was the first public showing of the demo, so I was honestly pretty nervous. But I was really happy to see how well it was received. People were leaning into the chaos, the arenas felt satisfying, and the “snowball into a monster” fantasy came through. After Dr…
