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

Here is the game in its first stages and now :)

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

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.
