Thank You
It’s been a few weeks since we launched pre-orders, and we just wanted to say thank you to everyone who’s picked up a copy of Bellum so far. The Founder tier sold out in just two days and we’re incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support.
We’re also excited to share that the Bellum Discord has officially passed 20,000 members, which is absolutely mind-blowing. The energy, feedback, and enthusiasm from this community have been inspiring.
What’s Next?
Thanks to the strong response, we’ve been able to accelerate several key areas of development and onboard some incredible new talent to help bring Bellum to life. Your support is already having a real impact on the game’s quality and momentum. Here’s a quick look at what’s coming next:
Updated Raw Gameplay Trailer
We’re putting the final touches on a new raw gameplay showcase that reflects our latest progress. This will be an unfiltered, real-time look at Bellum in its current state giving you a better sense of where the game stands right now and where it’s heading.
Founder Testing Begins Soon
We’re targeting late July to early August for the first round of Founder testing. These sessions are designed to gather feedback on early systems and mechanics as we continue refining the experience in preparation of broader access.
Improved Animations & Expanded Worldbuilding
We’ve made significant strides in refining our third-person animations to better match the grounded, physical tone of Bellum. At the same time, we’ve increased our investment in level design and environmental art to ensure the world you play in feels both believable and tactically rich.
Stay Connected
If you haven’t yet received your Founder or Supporter Discord rewards, please check your inbox (and spam folder) for the instructions. Game keys will be emailed out as your testing group is granted access so be sure to monitor the email you used at checkout.
To stay in the loop, make sure you’ve joined the Bellum Discord, follow us on social media, and keep an eye on your inbox. We’ve got a lot more coming and we’re thrilled to have you with us this early in the journey.
Just the Beginning
While these early milestones are exciting, we’re still at the start of a much bigger journey. Building Bellum, a tactical shooter grounded in realism, depth, and teamplay, takes time, iteration, and a close relationship with the community to get right.
There’s still plenty of work ahead, but we’re energized by everything you’ve helped make possible so far. With your continued feedback and support, we’re confident we can build something truly special.
Thanks for reading and we’ll see you in the next update.
