A Tiny Hero’s Journey Through a Magical World

Set in a stunning Scandinavian-inspired landscape, players will journey through forests, mountains, and tranquil lakes to gather resources, brew potions, and ultimately bring healing to their beloved mentor.
It’s a tale of kindness, nature, and gentle magic. And yes—you can bring a friend.

Whether you’re exploring solo or joining forces with others, Hela supports local split-screen and online co-op so you can share the magic.
