Hero Siege News

[h2]Greetings to all![/h2]

We have been cooking in our development kitchen for yet another few months and here is what we are putting on your plates this time!

Release date: March 14th 2025


Now every floor of the chaos tower gives you a buff and a choice of 3 different debuffs.



All buffs that are related to item drops and so on, are given to you after clearing the 10th floor.



Accessing King Rakhuul is now behind colosseum fragments obtained from monsters within the chaos tower floors on Hell 5+ difficulty.




Due to player demand for a challenging difficulty beyond Hell 5 we decided to give just that. We moved the Hell 5 uber drops behind inferno and gave inferno uber bosses a chance to drop an additional boss drop with a 25% chance. Inferno also provides more magic find than Hell 5.


We are introducing private leagues that you can customize in various ways! You can purchase 3 different tiers of Blood Pact: 10 Players / 20 Players / 30 Players. Blood Pact requires the player to create a "Blood Pact" character and lasts for 15 days which can be extended by another 15 days with a new token. After the pact is over you can keep playing the pact character alone (essentially SSF). In Blood Pact you can trade with players in your pact and use the guild stash. Market, Mailbox and Leaderboards are disabled in Blood Pact which means you cannot get season rewards in this mode.




We are submitting the final QA build for Hero Siege´s PS5 version on the 14th so we are really close to release!


There are so many changes, QOL, balance, content, re-works etc that I couldnt fit it all in a steam news post so check all the changes from the link below!

Full patch notes can be found here: Official Hero Siege Season 6 Patch Notes

[h2]Featured[/h2]
- Sub Skills; All non-buff/passive skills now have a sub skill tree which includes 10 small nodes that boost the skills attributes and 4 big nodes that change how the skill works. This makes up for a total of 2800 new skill nodes to boost build variety and make up for some very cool interactions!

Greetings noble heroes!

Our development kitchen has been full of steam from all the cooking we have been doing during the 5 month long development cycle! It has been a roller coaster of emotions from depression and despair to hype and excitement with a hint of burnout. We managed to pull off something we can be really proud of! We can finally take a small break before putting our hands to our next colossal barrel of ideas!

[h2]So what exactly was cooked? Lets get right to it![/h2]


Each non-buff/passive skill now has 14 sub skill nodes. 10 small nodes to boost its attributes/add an effect and 4 big nodes to completely change how that skill works. 2800 nodes in total!

The sub skills provide a wide variety possibilities and play styles for every class in the game. This also caused the meta to shift which should give players more to find out and explore!




A new uber boss version of Anubis with its own unique drop pool of new items!




You can now upgrade items by using dust obtained from unstable rifts or prospecting items increasing its stats!




Craft or farm these codexes with randomly rolled zone, duration and sockets to force a custom satanic zone! Socket orbs into the codex to gain the buffs you want or you can even turn the codex into a runeword for a really insane buff on the zone for its duration!




New an improved local co-op is re-introduced to hero siege! We are releasing the game on PlayStation 5 very soon, so we had to overhaul everything regarding gamepads and local co-op!


Many uniques have been balanced based on player feedback. We will put more focus on items in future seasons as the workload for this one was insane.

We have also added some new items with the time we had left!

[h2]Season Supporter Packs[/h2]
We are removing the old season packs from sale for the foreseeable future, so this is the last chance to buy them. Just a heads up!

- PAS

- 6.4.3 is a security update!
