Evaluation
Hellbound launched on August 4, 2020 and received its final major content update — the Flying Souls campaign level and Ground Zero survival arena remaster — on December 18, 2020. A cosmetic/extras DLC (the Mayhem Pack, containing an artbook and soundtrack) shipped on October 30, 2020.
In the December 2020 update post, the developer was transparent about the financial situation: the publisher's investment had not been recouped and the team could not continue expanding the game. They described that update as a farewell gift to supporters and announced that the current team would be disbanding.
On June 23, 2021, the developer shipped one final feature patch (v1.1.3) adding Steam Achievements, cloud saves, and a Spanish language option. In that same post, the developer explicitly stated: "this right here is probably our last update, or at least for now," and confirmed they were moving on to new projects.
All subsequent developer communications — an October 2021 post about new upcoming projects, a December 2022 post about a new game release, and a January 2025 recap video — focus entirely on Saibot Studios' other titles (particularly their upcoming game Tenebris Somnia). There have been no announcements of new Hellbound content in any of these posts.
The sole DLC, the Mayhem Pack, has been released. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store. The developer has clearly moved on, and the June 23, 2021 patch is the last official update to the game.

About this game
Hellbound is a hardcore '90s-inspired shooter for "true warriors" - PC Gamer
In this fast-paced First Person Shooter, you’ll be fighting in Hell against unspeakable evils. It’s a GROTESQUE game focused on action, speed, gore, and metal music.
Kill demons, find secret items, strafe-jump a lot, and of course... shoot some Big F**king Guns!
Looking for a deep story? You came to the wrong place!
Incarnate Hellgore with the strong voice of talent Artie Widgery. Hellgore is a huge bada** and a tortured soul, looking for vengeance against the creatures that massacred his people.
Use an arsenal of rusty metals, burnt flesh, and bones, as weapons that have been constructed with one single purpose: TO KILL THEM ALL! You’ll be kicking a**es while listening to the soundtrack composed by the great David Levill, with invited artists Federico Ágreda "Zardonic" and Christian Fernando Perucchi.
Taking things back to the basics…
Play a game inspired by '90s classics like DOOM, Quake, and Duke Nukem 3D. Enjoy non-stop action and gameplay without interruptions. The only things you can do is shoot, kill, move fast, and perform minimal interactions with the environment such as opening doors, pressing buttons, and finding secret locations.
YOU BETTER BE F****ING READY!
