Live your action-packed fantasy with three all-new Scenes, to the tune of heart-pounding tracks from Brothers of Metal, Bloodbound and Firewind! From epic battlefields to fiery mountainscapes, you’ll have everything you need to live out your journey as our newly awakened Hero! Hero’s Dawn will be available in Arcade today at 5pm PT, followed by Fields of Crimson Fury, and Steel and Starfire in the following weeks.



Change up your Playstyle with New Modifiers!


Some Heroes may have noticed two modifiers have unlocked on May 30th. We couldn’t wait for you Heroes to get your hands on these frequently requested modifiers, so we decided to sneak them in a little early! Based on community feedback, our team has worked hard on these exciting new ways to play Pistol Whip!

Heroes will now be able to find the following modifiers in the Styles System:

Deflector: Deflect bullets with melee attacks.
Colour Match: Match the Enemies with the colour of the guns.



Thank you for all your love and support, Heroes!
