Hey there, it is finally time to announce the very soon release of Hinterhalt 2. https://store.steampowered.com/app/949210/Hinterhalt_2/ Thanks for all the great support for so far. I hope you will enjoy the next game in the series as much as the first one! Hinterhalt 2 will be based on the art style of part one, but this time in as first person mode and with more factions and nations and unique cool maps and locations. Have fun!
