Marvek the Torrid “When I was young, the roads were even longer, and all uphill!” – Marvek, on the path of adventure Favourite spell: Huge Fireball Convenient when baking multiple batches of cookies. Also useful for incinerating monsters! And teammates. Marvek had it all planned. Just a few more busy years of running their small bakery, and after that he and his wife Poppy could retire to a small beach house. Those golden years dreams went up in smoke when Marvek’s magical talents manifested for the first time. An accidental fireball burned the bakery to a crisp and left him […]
It’s finally time for a new monthly update for May! 😊 First of all I’d like to mention that as said in our previous blog post about Nine Parchments, we’ll be showing the game in Magnology! This game and manga convention will be held in Hamburg, Germany from today, June 9th to 11th. So if you’re near the area, please stop by! In that same post we announced that the game will also land on Nintendo Switch later this year and revealed some other details. You can check the blog post and its announcement trailer from here. A new Nine […]
Cornelius Crownsteed “Nobody will laugh when I collect my Nine Parchments!” – Cornelius of the noble house of Crownsteed Favourite spell: Small Fireball They may be small, but they still count as fireballs! A group of would-be wizards are studying in the hallowed halls of the Astral Academy, each eager to complete their spellbooks with nine spell parchments. When an unfortunate incident takes place in the Academy Library, the students have an opportune moment to skip tedious classes and graduate much faster than they could have hoped for. One of these initiative-taking students is young lord Crownsteed, who is hoping […]
Boom! It’s official – Nine Parchments is heading to Nintendo Switch later this year! We’ve been super happy with how Has-Been Heroes has done on Switch since the launch, so we’re very excited about bringing Nine Parchments there as well. (It’s a really cool system!) We’ve kept quiet about the game for quite some time now so it’s cool to finally break the silence and show some new footage This is our new trailer showcasing the wizard mayhem to come: New Screenshots Features • Wield the power of the elements and master a diverse and ever-changing arsenal of spells • […]
Sadly we were a bit too busy and our Support team also got hit by a flu. This made the Monthly Report to be a little late for April… but it’s here now! Yay! While Finland is getting closer to summer with truly hilarious weather (virally proven here), we are working to bring you some news fairly soon. What could it be? 😉 Otherwise work has proceeded quite peacefully, and yes we have still at least one patch coming to Has-Been Heroes. Look forward to it! We have also filled some of the Has-Been Heroes Gamepedia with wonderful volunteers (thanks!). […]
With Has-Been Heroes, we set out to make a challenging game, and it looks like we succeeded! We’ve seen some great videos, guides, wiki entries and all kinds of amazing content from our Has-Been Heroes players and a select few have already unlocked all the heroes. As a tribute to the best of the best, we’ve opened up a site called the Hall of Heroes at www.has-beenheroes.com It’s a hall of fame of sorts, where we’re going to list the players with full, 100% completion of the game. As far as we know, nobody has 100% yet! Are you up […]
As the title says, our March was pretty much filled with Has-Been Heroes. I don’t know if you heard, but the game is now released worldwide. We have received a lot of feedback about the game, most of it has-been good. See what I did there? 😉 From below you can find a couple of pictures that are great choices for a desktop image! Remember to click them for a bigger view. We had a great launch party past Friday and food was of course an important part of the festivities. I’m getting hungry just thinking about the menu we […]
We are super excited to announce our new game My Space Van. Game is developed in co-operation with Amistech Games, creators of the open-world survival game My Summer Car.

Only one week left before Has-Been Heroes is released. Who else is excited? Bet we are! At the office our Marketing team is working hard with the last details, and we, the Support team have been trying hard to learn all the tricks so that we can give you guys great advise! I for example have gotten quite good at dying, I have discovered numerous ways to do this. But enough about that, you might have also noticed that we introduced six members of the Has-Been Heroes team in the past weeks on our social media channels… now they are […]
February came and went, how is it possible that it has only 2 or 3 days less than other months, but still it feels like a week shorter! Or maybe once again we have had so much stuff going on here at the office that time just flew out of the window. There hasn’t been anything as major going on in February as we didn’t have any big announcements this month, but still a lot happened here as summarised below. Who wouldn’t want to start with food? The hearts are bread buns! You know the saying “an army marches on […]
We were really happy with the amount of feedback we received regarding our Christmas calendar. So thank you all! And it’s why we decided that this year we’re going to be writing a monthly blog post telling you what’s going on here at Frozenbyte. We’ll be calling these Monthly Reports! Pretty creative, right? Sadly, we can’t list everything as that would probably be a long (and maybe even a bit dull) list. But let’s get to the point: what were we up to last month? January was actually quite a busy month here at our office. The biggest thing that […]
