Hello, Horde!

How’s it going? We hope leading your own sinister undead army brings you joy—and maybe even helps you forget real-life troubles, at least for a little while. When we started developing Be My Horde, we wanted it to be challenging, yes, but most of all, we wanted it to be a fun and entertaining game to help players unwind. Looking back now at our beginnings, it feels like we started this project both yesterday and a hundred years ago at the same time.

And guess what? We’re feeling sentimental today for a reason—Be My Horde launched in Early Access exactly one year ago! Since then, so much has happened that the release almost feels like a different reality. We hoped you’d like the game, but we couldn’t have predicted just how successful it would become. The recent Welcome to Hell update was a game-changer for the Polished Games team, but it all started with that very first domino one year ago.

One year of Be My Horde in numbers! This success was possible thanks to YOU, dear Horde!

We hope you’ll celebrate this special day with us by slaying innocent peasants, bullying that chubby king, and harvesting the souls of the living... as long as you’re doing it in-game, of course. To make this anniversary even more exciting, we have two announcements to share:

TIME TO DRESS UP

We all love Moriana, and Moriana loves beautiful clothes. So if we give her a new dress, maybe she’ll love us back... right? Right? Well, even if it doesn't win her affection, we're doing it anyway.

Starting today, you’ll find a brand-new Darkness Embracer costume for our cruel necromancess in her wardrobe! Go check it out—after all, it’s important to look your best at a birthday party. Make haste! The skin is available for free ONLY TODAY! From tomorrow, it'll cost you 18,624 souls!

THE DEVIL DANCE

What’s a celebration without a little friendly competition? We're launching a brand-new contest!

The prize? A wickedly cool merch package, including:

💀 a scented candle in a glass cemetery vessel;

💀 a sheet of stickers;

💀 a mug;

💀 a lanyard;

💀 a pin;

💀 an extra Steam key.

HOW TO ENTER:

1. Defeat the Devil on HELL HARD difficulty.

2. Post a screenshot of your ending screen with your result in the “The Devil Dance” thread on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/cuNC5tJJDj

Without further ado, dive into the competition! The prize is worth the suffering—your minions’ suffering, of course.

In the meantime, we’re still analyzing your feedback and planning exciting things for Be My Horde’s future. Our heads are full of ideas, and our hearts are ready to work harder than ever—even if they’re not pumping blood anymore. We are the undead loyal minions, after all.

Stay tuned for future updates, and keep sharing your thoughts on the game via the Steam forums, our Discord server, or Steam reviews!

PRAISE BE MORIANA!
