Deep Type Games has officially unveiled Hellsplit: Labyrinth<\/em>, a fresh entry in their gritty dark fantasy action RPG series. Serving as a spiritual successor to the cult-hit Hellsplit Arena<\/em>, this new title has surfaced on the Meta Horizon store with a projected launch window of Spring 2027.<\/p>\n While early store listings for Hellsplit: Labyrinth<\/em> lean heavily on the foundational DNA of its predecessor, the developers have clarified the core gameplay loop. Unlike the arena-focused combat of the original, Labyrinth<\/em> shifts toward a roguelike structure. Players are tasked with navigating treacherous, procedurally generated environments to recover seven shards of a mystical crystal.<\/p>\n The experience is bolstered by several key features designed to add depth and replayability:<\/p>\n The current store description emphasizes a “room-scale” VR experience, requiring a physical play area of at least 1.5 x 1.5 meters. However, veterans of the franchise will likely recognize this as a carry-over from the Hellsplit Arena<\/em> documentation. Given that Arena<\/em> successfully implemented artificial stick-based locomotion alongside physical movement, it is highly probable that Labyrinth<\/em> will offer similar flexibility to accommodate various player preferences and physical limitations.<\/p>\n As of now, Hellsplit: Labyrinth<\/em> is exclusively listed for the Meta Quest platform. There has been no official word regarding potential ports to SteamVR or PlayStation VR2. This exclusivity follows a pattern of staggered releases for the studio; for context, Hellsplit Arena<\/em> took over five years to transition from its 2019 SteamVR debut to its March 2025 Meta Quest release.<\/p>\n The status of the PlayStation VR2 version of Arena<\/em> remains murky. Although a port was previously announced, it has faced significant delays, with community moderators suggesting a timeline pushed into late 2025 or 2026. Recent developer communications have been sparse, focusing on updates for two unspecified platforms, notably omitting any mention of Sony\u2019s hardware.<\/p>\n The development landscape for Deep Type Games has been somewhat volatile recently. The studio abruptly canceled their zombie-themed shooter, Cute & Dead<\/em>, removing the store page entirely on its scheduled July 1, 2025, release date. This sudden delisting has left fans looking for more transparency regarding the studio’s current project pipeline.<\/p>\n Despite these uncertainties, fans of the series can currently wishlist Hellsplit: Labyrinth<\/em> on the Meta Quest store to stay updated on its development progress as it heads toward its 2027 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hellsplit: Labyrinth, a roguelike dark fantasy action RPG follow-up to Hellsplit Arena, popped up today on the Meta Horizon store for a Spring 2027 release.
