StickyLock has exciting news to share – their action-packed shooter, Histera, will be entering early access on May 16. Histera sets itself apart with a unique ‘map glitching’ mechanic that transports players through different eras, creating a dynamic and ever-changing arena. From prehistoric settings to a futuristic world, players must adapt to evolving weapons, tactics, and terrain, ensuring that no two matches of Histera will ever be the same.
This promising shooter was recently featured at the Steam Next Fest, garnering positive reviews from players. StickyLock, a Dutch developer, took community feedback to heart and further refined Histera in preparation for its early access launch on Steam on May 16.
A New Era of Gameplay

In a thrilling gameplay reveal trailer, StickyLock showcased the ever-changing landscape of Histera. Players will find themselves navigating a fluctuating arena, seamlessly transitioning from a prehistoric forest to a war-torn city of World War II. Each era comes with its own set of weapons, but players can transcend time through ‘The Glitch’, allowing for exciting cross-era gameplay.
By wielding futuristic weapons in ancient settings or ancient weaponry in futuristic battlegrounds, players can expect a truly unique and innovative experience that sets Histera apart from traditional shooters like Call of Duty and Overwatch.
Check out the new trailer below:
With the early access launch on May 16, players can dive into three distinct maps within Histera’s dynamic world: Montorro City, Pliocene Plateau, and Novgorod. The early access version will feature two gameplay modes – Team Deathmatch and Territory Control, offering a taste of the excitement to come.
Customization and Beyond
StickyLock has confirmed that Histera will offer extensive customization options as a free-to-play title supported by microtransactions. Players can purchase outfits and skins, with early access participants receiving exclusive skins for free. Additionally, a battle pass system is planned to introduce more customization options and cosmetics down the line.
While the competitive potential of Histera remains to be seen, its fast-paced arcade mechanics cater to players of all skill levels. Although the game is not currently poised for a ranked mode or esports scene, its accessibility suggests a wide appeal. With a similar pace to the exciting shooter The Finals, released unexpectedly in December 2023, Histera is poised to make a mark in the gaming world.
Mark your calendars for the early access launch of Histera on Steam starting May 16.
