Awesome Rewards Await in Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel
Get ready to work up a sweat in Hell. Developer 70’Strike and publisher Valkyrie Initiative have announced that the Steam Playtest for Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel will kick off on November 3, 2026, giving players two weeks to jump into its chaotic 2D platforming action and unlock exclusive rewards.
The Playtest will run from November 3 at 18:00 UTC until November 17 at 18:00 UTC. During that window, players can take on a series of challenges and earn three cosmetic rewards that will carry over to the full game when it eventually launches. To claim the rewards, players must also wishlist the game and follow Valkyrie Initiative on Steam.
Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel puts players in the shoes of Mr. K, an ordinary office worker who finds himself in Hell following an unfortunate accident. Determined to sort out the mistake, he must battle his way through the bizarre Inferno Hotel and its nine floors to reach the Boss.
The Playtest features three rewards tied to different challenges. Players can earn the Golden Kettlebell by completing every level with an S rank, while completing all levels at any rank unlocks the Smelly Kettlebell. A special quest involving the hotel’s maids rewards players with a Yellow Shirt for Mr. K.
Those interested can request access directly through the game’s Steam Playtest page. With its retro visuals, bizarre enemies, and dark humor, Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel could be worth checking out for platforming fans looking for something a little different.
