OPEN PLAYTEST STARTS JANUARY 18TH

📢 WHO'S READY TO TEST SOME HEART ELECTRIC?


We're almost ready to welcome y'all into Silicon Hope as our first public playtest kicks off.

Watch on YouTube

We have added some meat to the bones of the Energy game mode and we're super excited to hear what you think!
To briefly mention some new stuff: there will now be Assignments to complete that will earn your team Energy, on top of being able to steal Energy from other team's bases. (see the video further down and you'll understand <3)

There will be 6 characters available for testing, with Crow and Prodigy joining the fray for the first time.
Some of our finest work if I do say so myself...


Loadout Customization is HERE, so you can finally build your perfect gun and perk combo for maximum shenanigans.
8 guns, 3 Hyper Weapons, 14 player perks and more gun mods than you can shake a stick at.

There's a lot more to cover in terms of changes since last playtest, so we'll have a dedicated Patch Notes post in January to really get into the nitty gritty.

📢 Playtest Dates and Times


Here's everything you need to know:

  • Saturday, January 18
  • Starting 18:00 CET / 09:00 PST (EU and NA timezones)
  • Servers will be up for 6 hours minimum, but will likely be extended if everything is going swimmingly ✨
  • Further communications will be posted in our Discord as the playtest is happening, so make sure you and your crew all join to not miss anything. ːsteammockingː

Want to make sure you get to playtest?


Well, the title says it all, doesn't it?
Just make sure that you've opted into playtests by clicking the buttom here on our Steam page, and everyone will get an invite when January 18th rolls around.

The more people we get to playtest, the more fun you will have in the queues and the more feedback we can get to improve the game faster. So recruit your friends and schedule in a Heart Electric Saturday Bonanza, and tell your streamer friends to check us out as well!

Watch on YouTube
Seriously though. We have been waiting eagerly to have everything ready for this playtest, and we can't wait to see the biggest group of playtesters yet jump into the action.

From the entire HE team, thank you for waiting just a little longer.
See you all again very soon, and Happy Holidays!
