Thank you for joining us for the release of Histera! The first hotfix has just been released and includes fixes and weapon balancing changes based on your initial feedback.



We’ve applied a fix for one of the more prominent crashes relating to the glitch during gameplay.


The HE Grenade is now correctly thrown instead of dropped directly at your feet.


Tiers have been reset and adjusted to reflect the difficulty of the progression steps.


Our current focus lies on stability fixes and performance improvements, the latter of which will be rolled out in small steps over the coming weeks. At the same time we are experimenting with smaller changes that might yield improvements to stability even more quickly. We'll keep you updated!



We've made several balance changes based on your initial reception and feedback. Let us know how the weapons feel after these changes!

• Headshot damage multiplier adjusted from 1.5 to 1.7
  
• Projectile size reduced from 0.3 to 0.275

Today marks a monumental moment for us, as we proudly unveil the official Early Access launch of Histera! After years of dedication and hard work, we're thrilled to invite you to enter the arena and fight your way through the Glitch!


Step into the arena and experience exciting 8v8 battles like never before. In Histera, the battlefield is in a constant state of flux, because of the mysterious anomaly known as the Glitch. Explore diverse landscapes from different eras, from the futuristic Montorro City to the war-torn streets of mid-20th century Novgorod and the prehistoric Pliocene Plateau. All available now!


This is the time to connect with you our community and gather valuable feedback to enhance Histera from its early development stages, to full release and beyond. We want to collaborate with all of you to refine and polish Histera into the ultimate FPS experience.

We kindly ask all that run into issues to check our known issues list. If they issue or bug has not been reported yet you can report them in game or go to our bugs & Feedback page.



Besides bug fixing and patches, Histera is planned to receive frequent content updates during Early Access as well. New weapons, Eras and skins will be added to the game on a regular basis.
You can find the roadmap of everything that is to come after Early Access Launch here:

At launch the arsenal you can choose from will feature 8 different weapons originating from the 3 existing Eras. If you think that’s not enough fire power, we have good news for you! After Early Access Launch, we will be releasing 7 new weapons within 2 months. Enough to keep every fight refreshing in the coming period.



As we celebrate the Early Access Launch, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible community. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind Histera's development. We couldn't have reached this insane milestone without you.

It's our way of saying thank you for being there since day one and joining us in this exciting new phase.

We would also like to thank everyone for their patience during the delay that Histera's launch suffered last month. As a token of our appreciation we will offer 2 free weapon skins for everyone that join us in the arena the first week of launch.

The developers will be streaming exclusive Histera gameplay to celebrate the Early Access launch!

Get ready to enter the time glitching arena and dominate the battlefield like never before on June 20. Wield weapons from various Eras, use powerful pick-ups, and fight intense battles through time!

Early Access, kicking off the 20th of June, is our chance to connect with the community and gather valuable feedback to enhance Histera from its early development stages, to full release and beyond. We want to collaborate with players to refine and polish Histera into the ultimate FPS experience.
Taking community feedback and the time to implement suggested changes into account, we anticipate releasing Histera approximately 6 to 12 months after our Early Access launch.
Histera is a free-to-play game, with a basic monetization system introduced at the start of Early Access, expanding gradually during this period and focusing solely on optional cosmetic items.

At launch we will share with you the exact roadmap of everything that is to come, but from the start players can expect the following:

The first Eras to be included in Histera are the futuristic Montorro City, the prehistoric Pliocene Plateau and the war-torn mid-20th century Novgorod. With the Glitch, these different eras can merge, posing both possibilities and challenges for players.

You don't want to find yourself empty-handed inside the arena of Histera. Luckily there is a big arsenal of weapons from the various Eras available for you to arm yourself with. These weapons offer variation in your gameplay and give you plenty of playstyles to work with.


Are the weapons not giving you enough kick? Or are you getting hit too hard? The pick-ups are here to help with that, and make sure you stay on top. Whether it’s a Glitch pickup that boosts your health or damage, or a shield pick-up to ensure you stay in the battle



We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone in our amazing community for the incredible support leading up to the launch of Histera. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and dedication have been invaluable on this journey.

To show our gratitude and to thank you for being an early adopter, we will be giving everyone that participates in the first two weeks of launch an exclusive skin for the AR-77, and everyone that participates at any point in early access a free exclusive skin for the Stormbringer.

We want to thank everyone for their patience the past month and we can't wait to see what the future brings. This is an exciting and scary moment for everyone at StickyLock, and we’re so happy to have made it this far.

With release around the corner be sure to keep an eye out on our Steam and Discord, as well as our Twitter and Reddit, since we’ll be releasing information and content more and more frequently as we lead up to launch and after!

See you in the dome,

StickyLock

While you wait for more news on Histera's launch, this week you can read about all the weapons that will be available to you at Early Access launch. From the agile and high fire rate Cyclone SMG to the poisonous Manticore shotgun. There are plenty of options for every playstyle.


With its robust design and sleek red dot, this weapon is easy to distinguish in any fight. The AR-77’s robust design reflects on its firepower, as it packs a good punch in short to medium range and is a dependable weapon with its medium fire-rate and ammo capacity. This weapon is a soldier’s true best friend.

The Cyclone S6 is the ideal addition to your loadout if speed is what you’re looking for! This futuristic submachine gun is perfect for quick, close-range combat. While it excels in fast-paced, 'run and gun' situations, it's less effective at longer distances, so make sure to choose your fights carefully.

This long range sniper rifle from Montorro City is a weapon not to trifle with. When scoping in, the rifle charges its shot, and when fully charged it deals incredibly high damage. If you’re not using cover enough or you’re out of position in the Glitch, you might find yourself dying to this terrifying weapon more than you’d like.

A weapon straight from prehistory, featuring a raw and primitive design. Crafted from bones, wood, and rugged leather, it may look rudimentary, but don’t be fooled, it packs a powerful punch. This unique weapon fires seven darts simultaneously, each laced with venom that inflicts damage over time. Causing your opponent to think they've escaped unscathed, only to realize too late the true damage that has been done.

Inspired by the Pliocene Plateau, this version of the slingshot brings a prehistoric twist to your arsenal. The Rockstorm can charge its shots for increased accuracy and power, making it an excellent choice for picking off enemies. Additionally, when hit, opponents are slowed down, turning the Rockstorm into a
formidable tool on the battlefield.

A simple yet timeless weapon, dating back over 71 thousand years, the hunting bow is crafted from wood and sinew. True to its roots, the hunting bow operates with a familiar yet effective design. In a world dominated by advanced weaponry, this classic tool proves that precision and skill remain invaluable in every era. 

Inspired by the Karabiner 43, a carbine used by the Germans during World War II from 1943 to 1945, this iconic weapon is now glitching from its original era to the arena of Histera. The Karabiner is a semi-automatic weapon where accuracy is key, though it's not as unforgiving as a sniper rifle. It provides a fighting chance at medium to long range. Don’t let its age suggest the Karabiner is useless; it remains as efficient and dangerous as it was in its own era.

Just as the Karabiner the Todesfeurer takes it’s inspiration from an iconic weapon from the Second World War. This replica of the Luger PO8 is your best friend when your primary weapon is out of ammo or when you need to take an opponent down at close range. Making it a trusty secondary for any loadout.

These are all the weapons that will be available to you at Early Access launch. But fret not! There will be new weapons added soon after Early Access launch.

First of all we want to extend an extra heartfelt apology for the delay of Histera's launch two weeks ago. We know many of you were eagerly counting down the days, and we apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment this may have caused. Your enthusiasm means the world to us, and we are committed to making this right and giving you the experience you desire and deserve.

Unfortunately, we ran into performance issues that affected key aspects of the game. The impact didn’t surface until closer to launch. All though we worked 24/7 to try and solve issues, we couldn’t address them properly in the short time frame that we had. Fixing these issues is our top priority and we are thankful that Unity jumped in to help us.

Besides fixing these issues, a portion of the team is continuing the development of the game to perfect the experience even more. More content post Early Access Launch is being worked on such as; new features, game modes, and skins. Rest assured, your wait will be worthwhile!

As a token of our gratitude for your continued support and patience, we will be offering two exclusive weapon skins for free to all players that log in during the first week. We hope these skins will enhance your gameplay experience and serve as an apology for any inconvenience we may have caused.

We understand that the wait can feel long so here’s some things you can do in the meantime

• Get a playlist ready for your high-octane Histera matches
• Warm up in aim trainer
• Go for a hike or a walk in nature. Before you’re stuck inside for 2 weeks straight
• Make sure you do your laundry

We will provide an updated launch date as soon as possible. Please stay tuned for further announcements and updates. Thank you for standing by us as we strive to perfect Histera.

The Glitch. The core mechanic of Histera. It’s a mysterious and unpredictable anomaly that reshapes the very fabric of the arena with each pulse.
As a player in Histera, your opponents aren’t the only thing that should be on your mind. The unpredictable Glitch makes every match different and changes the way you play. But fear not, after reading this blog you can learn to use the power of the Glitch to turn the battle in your favor.

Histera’s arena is divided into five distinct segments, each being able to Glitch to different Era’s throughout the match. Each segment can glitch from and to Ancient prehistoric times, a Frozen war-torn factory and a futuristic metropolis


It all starts with ominous pulses that ripple through the entire map, signaling where the imminent transformation of the battlefield will occur. Use this time to prepare yourself for what’s to come. Will you relocate or stay in the middle of the chaos?


Made you choice? Good. Because as soon as the ripples subside, the segment will start to enter the first phase of the Glitch. It will completely dematerialize leaving nothing but a flat playing field with holographic barriers.


The barriers can be walked and shot through. But watch for the color changes, because when they start to turn red, that means they are about to solidify and do damage. This also signals that the segment will enter it’s third and final phase.


As the dust settles from the transformation you’ll find yourself in an completely new place. Whether you’re thrusted into Novgorod, Pliocene Plateau or Montorro City, every Glitch will force you into new grounds.


‘Why bother risking my own skin going into such a dangerous zone?’ you might ask. Well, amongst the chaos, there are opportunities for those bold enough to seize them. Powerful pick-ups spawn with each Glitch, offering strong buffs for the people that get to them first.


The Glitch opens up new strategic opportunities, forcing players to constantly reassess their surroundings and adjust their tactics on the fly. Yes the Glitch is not without its risks. But it does come with rewards.
So, ready your weapons, steel your nerves, and prepare to dive headfirst into the heart of the Glitch on May 16th!
