| Quick Fix: Regional DLC Pricing Discrepancies Resolved | 2026-07-10 | Hello, Clockmakers! First of all, thank you so much for the incredible support on today's launch of Cursed War. We've been closely monitoring your feedback, and we noticed a lot of players reaching out regarding regional currency conversion issues for the DLC on Steam. You were absolutely right—the regional conversions were incorrectly set at launch. What Went Wrong & How It's Fixed Our original intention has always been for the expansion to cost roughly half the price of the base game in every country, following the exact same fair regional conversion rates we used for the base game launch (matching the $9.99 USD DLC price tag relative to th |

| Launching Cursed War Early on July 9th! | 2026-07-02 | Hey backlanders,Today we want to share the patch notes for our upcoming 2.0 update, which will come for free to all users when the Cursed War expansion launches - a little earlier! - on July 9th!You read it right - we are coming out earlier than previously announced! External forces once again conspired against our set release date, but this time we decided to no longer postpone, and move our date forward instead.There are many, many new things and changes coming with the big patch next week. Due to the extra time we had because of the previous release date postponement, we’ve been able to run TWO rounds of Closed Beta testing and really refi |
| Cursed War launches July 14 + Skills trailer | 2026-06-04 | Clockmakers, we now have a new launch date for the Curse War expansion: July 14! Last month we shared the news that we were shifting our launch date to make room for PoE’s Return of the Ancients update. Today we’re happy to say that you’ll only have to wait a few more weeks to continue Pajeu’s story in Hell Clock. For a closer look at what to expect in Cursed War, check out our new trailer that just ran in the Latin American Games Showcase: In our new expansion, Cursed War, you're going to dive further into Pajeu and Brazil’s past during the Paraguayan War of 1864 - 1870.The expansion also drops these six new skills:Tupã’s Wrath Tupã’s Wrath |
| New Cursed War Launch Date + Story Trailer | 2026-05-21 | Hey Clockmakers, remember when we moved the launch of Hell Clock to avoid a new PoE league? Well, we have to push back the Cursed War expansion's release as well... GGG has pushed their next Path of Exile 2 update to May 29, and that’s simply too close for comfort for us. We know exactly where everyone in the ARPG community will be spending their precious free time that week, and to be completely honest, we'll be right there with you, grinding and playing Return of the Ancients.While we know a delay is always frustrating, releasing Cursed War just four days later simply wouldn’t make sense. As a small studio with a very limited marketing budg |
| Cursed War Expansion: Official Reveal | 2026-04-24 | Hey backlanders,We are grateful for your patience with us for the last 4 months, as we locked in to finish developing Hell Clock's big first expansion.We are proud to present the official reveal for Cursed War:So About That Release Date...Uh, this is awkward... A couple of days ago, another ARPG gaming company (the one with the gears grinding) announced a big update for one of the biggest ARPGs in the world. And it's on the same weekend as us, basically.We had the June 2nd date locked for a while now. Had trailers and press releases already submitted to press and events, so it was too late to change the date on the videos and such.Obviously a |
| What’s Next for Hell Clock? | 2026-04-02 | Hey folks,We’ve been in “heads down, focus on development” mode for a while now, and it is about time for an update!After we shipped all of the promised post-launch features from our Roadmap, we have shifted our efforts 100% to the new upcoming Cursed War expansion and patch 2.0.While we were originally targeting a Q1 launch, the scope of the expansion ended up, uh, expanding, so we need a bit more time to get it polished and ready.We expect this to be a short delay. In fact, we already have a new date internally that we are committed to, and our publisher Mad Mushroom should announce it officially Soon™.In the meantime, we think it’d be rude |

| Update 1.2.1 | 2025-11-26 | Hey folks, Most of the new Constellations seem fine so far, but we clearly miscalculated the power of St. Paul, so we're making a quick balance change, while also adding more fixes and stabilizing the game. This change was actually a Community suggestion, so thanks to @Ghost-Tales on Discord for the elegant solution!GameplayThe St Paul Constellation now has the added effect: "Reduces your Cooldown Speed by 65%\"Changed the Rare affix "Using Passage recovers Mana" from percentage to flat (from 8-16% to 100-360)Changed the Rare affix "Using Closed Body recovers Mana" from percentage to flat (from 20-50% to 250-1200)Shrine buffs are no longer pu |

| Update 1.2 Hotfix 2 | 2025-11-24 | Hey Players, 1.2 was supposed to have active cooldown reduction effects respect a "min cooldown" setting on every Skill, to prevent the crazy manalooping shenanigans we had in the past. Due to an oversight on our part, this was not properly implemented, but it is fixed now! Fixed an issue where Active Cooldown Reduction was not respecting a Skill's min Cooldown value;We are still looking into the issue where channeled Skills (Repeater and Double Knives) are not being properly interrupted. We hope to have a patch out that fixes this tomorrow. Abraços, ~The Hell Clock Team |
