Merry Christmas 2025 from HH Gaming!
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment on Christmas Day to say a huge thank you to every single one of you who’s supported what we do this year.
Whether you’ve been reading guides, watching videos, sharing feedback, hanging out in the community, or just quietly checking in now and then… you’ve helped build something genuinely special.
HellHades.com has always been more than a website to me. It’s a place that exists because of the people behind it — and that’s you.
So honestly… thank you. It means more than I can properly put into words.
Looking Back on 2025 — What a Year

It’s been a wild one, in the best way.
Raid: Shadow Legends
Raid has had some genuinely awesome updates this year, and it’s been amazing to see the community keep evolving with the game. The theorycrafting, the hype, the discussions — it’s what keeps this place alive. And it’s been a privilege to keep covering it for you.
Etheria: Restart
The launch of Etheria: Restart was another huge moment — and jumping into a new game with fresh systems, new progression, and a growing community has been so much fun. Seeing people get stuck in right from day one has been a real highlight.
TwitchCon Rotterdam
Getting to go to TwitchCon in Rotterdam with the full HH Gaming crew was honestly one of those “wow… this is real” moments. Meeting people in person, having a laugh, and feeling the energy of the community, team and other gamers face-to-face reminded me why I love this industry.
A Special Moment with Plarium
One of the coolest moments of the year was seeing Nubs and YST head out to Plarium alongside our amazing friends Skratch and Deadwood! — and getting to spend real time in Poland with the Plarium team.
It’s not something we take for granted. Moments like that are a reminder of how far this whole thing has come — from covering the game day-to-day, to actually getting to connect with the people behind it. And honestly… it was just awesome to see them get that experience.
Big Team Moments

We’ve also had some massive changes behind the scenes this year:
- Anca joined us as a front-end designer and has already been helping push things forward visually and creatively.
- Adam joined as a back-end developer, strengthening the foundations that everything runs on.
- Ragewood joined our content team and brought even more consistency and momentum to what we’re able to deliver.
And one of the biggest personal moments for me…
Jack (Lockers) Starting a New Chapter
Jack leaving HH Gaming to move over to Fateless and start a new career in game design has been a huge moment. Jack was with us from day one of the website!
It’s one of those things that makes you proud — seeing someone take a leap into something bigger, and knowing he’s going to do amazing work on the Godforge side.
We also had the chance to support the Godforge Alpha event, and I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who participated, tested, gave feedback, and backed the vision early.
That kind of support is what makes this whole journey possible.
What I’m Excited For Next

As big as this year was… I’m genuinely excited for what’s coming next.
HellHades.com 2.0
This is something we’ve been working on and planning for a long time — a total refresh of the website and tools to bring everything into the modern age.
It’s going to be faster, cleaner, and just a better experience all round. I can’t wait for you to see it.
Godforge Launch…Obviously… Godforge.
This is going to be a massive moment, and we’re putting everything into making it something the community can be proud of.
More Raid + More Community
We’ll keep supporting Raid and the insane community behind it, because that’s always been at the heart of what we do.
A Little Hint for 2026…
And finally…
Free to Play 2026?
Maybe. 👀
I’m not confirming anything yet… but let’s just say it’s something you’ll want to keep an eye on.
Merry Christmas
Wherever you are in the world, whatever you’re doing today — I hope you have an amazing Christmas.
Thank you again for being part of this community, for sticking with us, and for helping build something that’s way bigger than a website.
Here’s to an even bigger 2026.
Much love,
Dan (Phixion)


Merry Christmas
