Nantes, France, October 1st, 2024 – Helios Studio shares a closer look at Black One Blood Brothers, a tactical single-player FPS offering a strategic experience with extensive customization and high replayability.
Black One Blood Brothers has been in development for nearly four years, created by Victor, a passionate and versatile solo developer who successfully launched the game in Early Access on Steam two years ago. The 1.0 release is scheduled for 2025.
Today, Helios Studio introduces a major update to the Early Access version of the game, featuring a complete overhaul of characters, animations, weapons, and their customization. Alongside numerous enhancements, the update delivers a more immersive experience in a solo campaign packed with 20 missions, a procedural campaign mode, and additional game modes, allowing players to experience the world of Black One Blood Brothers in various ways.
Black One Blood Brothers is a tactical single-player military FPS where strategy and coordination are key. Joining the “Black One” unit, you become part of an elite force composed of top operators from around the globe. Operating independently of any government, this unit works from the shadows, free from political games and diplomatic constraints. As the leader of this squad, you’re tasked with executing complex missions where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. Customize your crew, plan and adjust your tactics dynamically, and enjoy high replayability.
- Campaign Mode: Operation “Serpent’s Whisper” – During the adventure offered in the campaign mode through Operation “Serpent’s Whisper”, the story kicks off in response to the insurgent group “New World,” which has launched devastating attacks across the globe within days. Your mission is to neutralize this threat and trace the funding behind these attacks through 20 increasingly challenging missions. Be advised, the loss of an operator is permanent!
- Gameplay & Realism – Developed in collaboration with a former French Special Forces Commando Marine, “Black One Blood Brothers” stands out for its demanding and immersive gameplay. Command a squad of 10 operators, each with unique skills, and seamlessly switch between them to leverage their specialties in either first-person or third-person view. Success hinges on meticulous planning, optimal equipment management, and teamwork.
- Plan Plans & Quick Orders – Implement precise action sequences for each squad member using a complex yet intuitive “Battle Plan” system. Organize your forces into multiple teams, coordinate their movements, and devise custom tactics to tackle any situation, or switch to real-time command with “Quick Orders” for dynamic decision-making.
- High-Risk Missions – Undertake high-risk missions including target neutralization, hostage rescue, bomb defusal, and retrieval of secret documents.
- Customize your Squad – Customization is at the heart of “Black One Blood Brothers.” Build your squad from the ground up, selecting each member’s skills and arming them with the finest arsenal.
- Game Modes & Replayability – With a variety of game modes (Dynamic campaign, Spec Ops, War, POW, Siege, Lone Wolf, Blind Ops) and a powerful, user-friendly map editor, Black One Blood Brothers offers vast replayability. Customize your missions, adjust difficulty, select your battlefields, and share your creations with the community through the Steam Workshop.
Victor, solo developer and founder of Helios Studio, commented: “Creating Black One Blood Brothers has been a true passion project that took me several years to build. My goal was to bring back the joy of a tactical FPS in single-player, where everyone can play at their own pace and develop their own combat strategies. But I also wanted to go further with the innovative Battle Plan feature, adding an extra layer of strategy on top of the first-person view and quick commands. Seeing the game’s community grow has been a real pleasure, and I’m thrilled to release this new update, which directly addresses players’ feedback.”
