Greetings!

We have once again been working really hard to bring you new amazing content, qol and all that! I am highlighting some of the coolest new features that you will see in Season 4 so lets jump straight into it!

So we scratched our heads trying to figure out how to make the loot filter better and ended up with this very creative way of doing it. You can now choose highlighted affixes on items per item slot which are shown in a different color on the ground!

You can now find rare Overflowing nodes that give you a huge amount of ore and potentially up to 3 of the rarest materials from those ores! You can also find Rich nodes which also give more ore than normal nodes.

We re-worked the whole common/mythic item system and added a ton of new affixes! You can now find insane items which gives you the power spikes you need! Some mythics can be even better than heroics!

You can now inspect loot without picking it up!

We moved Charm slots next to the other slots so you dont need to share them with your inventory, you can also remove 2 of the blocked slots from the incarnation tree!

You can now access up to 4 skill loadout slots which hold both skills and attribute points!

A huge amount of the dungeons have been extended and made into 1 big floor!

We have added some new zones into the game in between certain zones! These new zones have big enemies that can drop amazing loot!

There is an insane amount of stuff which would render this post way too long if I was to write about every change in detail, so you can go read all of them here: Season 4 Patch Notes[docs.google.com]

Also check this video of Anubis, one of the new re-worked act bosses!

The Stormweaver commands the tempestuous power of thunder and lightning, shocking through the undead with electrifying grace. With each crack of thunder and flash of lightning she leaves the battlefields full of steaming ash.

Here is a little sneak peak of the Season 3 Stormweaver game play!

- PAS Team

A decade ago Jussi and I got the opportunity of releasing Hero Siege on Steam and starting our company Panic Art Studios. Reflecting on the journey, it's almost surreal how our passion project transformed into a thriving reality. Back in the days of our studies at TAMK University of Applied Science we dabbled in game development during our free hours, but it was a spontaneous decision to do a 48-hour game jam that set the wheels in motion.

Pooling in votes for Style & Genre from our audience, the winning combination turned out to be "Arena/Hack n slash" + "Medieval/Fantasy". What started as a game jam project after the event evolved into Hero Siege. The journey from then till now has been an insane commitment, with nonstop efforts to bring the game to its current state. We stand here today proud of what we've built, and equally grateful for the passionate individuals who now form our team.

Hero Siege is not just a game it's a manifestation of our passion and dedication, a project for creative minds to thrive and a source of excitement for our players. To everyone who has played, supported our journey, and provided invaluable feedback - Thank you! Your passion has fueled our drive to continuously improve and innovate.

As we celebrate this milestone, we still have so much work to do and ideas to release thus this is only the beginning! Here's to another decade of Hero Siege and beyond!

- Love, PAS Team

Valhalla questline is part of Main questline, and only doable on Normal now. If you are/were stuck, do the following:

2. Go to Normal and try to proceed from the point you got stuck on, the most usual spot being "Access Denied" quest. For this, go to Zone 2 "Flooded Plains", find the portal to "Gates of Valhalla" and enter the room and walk the chains. You should receive the quest correctly when leaving the room by falling to Zone 3.
