##### Season 9 is coming out today at 13.00 UTC

Our team has been working day and night for 7 months to bring all of this content for you to enjoy, its been a wild ride!

We have also released the PlayStation 5 version today, which has cross play with PC but unfortunately cross commerce wasnt an option (due to their extremely unfair cross commerce clause).

##### Here are the major features for Season 9!

**Incarnation Tree**. A passive skill tree that opens at level 100. Each hero level gives you a point to spend in the tree. Points are uncapped, so the higher hero level you get the more points you can spend.

**Ether Tree**. A mechanics tree which lets you boost different mechanics in the game in various ways! You will gain points from doing special quests that appear and are complete automatically. These quests are given on different Hell difficulties and finally in Inferno difficulty.

**The Architect of Ruin**. A new uber boss with its unique loot pool. Gain access by killing Legion monsters in Act 1-7 and collecting fragments which you can combine into a consumable key.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4204900/Hero_Siege__Prophet_Class/
**The Prophet**. A new mage/summoner/shapeshifter/attacker class that should make many druid enjoyers happy!

Check out the full patch notes here: [Official Season 9 Patch Notes](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ynq859UR3ufZ_flovUQCivNaGN_PVU-Kuyoc-c4cBNc/edit?usp=sharing)

We managed to push only 3 skins this season due to the content work taking all of our time. We thank you for contributing to the ongoing development of Hero Siege!

- Essence Vault system completely re-worked and made much more fun and easy to unlock them.
- Hundreds of lines of Item Balance and Class Balance making less powerful builds more fun to play, also fixing lots of non functional nodes that were missed in prior testing. No significant nerfs except for totally broken builds.

### Season 8 is upon us

##### Greetings fine people of Tarethiel.

_Season 8 out at 3PM GMT+2 on September 12th 2025
_

It is I, one of the burnt out developers _(Elias)_. I had to think for a long while what to write so I decided to write nonsense, my brain and I think everyone's brains are fried at this point so we are just happy to be done with our latest development cycle. This is the single biggest patch we have ever done, notes are up to 1600 lines so get ready for a roller coaster..

Our team has also grown in size, we have hired community member and moderator Octa to do tickets since our QA team was kinda doing those and we don't want to waste their time on tickets, thus we hired a person who is actually good at handling them. We also lacked a person who is responsible and understands ARPG itemization, so we hired Fumacinha, also a community member and moderator. And last but not least our new project manager Rexi who we hired a bit before the last seasons launch, he is responsible of keeping everything intact and making sure everything is looked at and nothing gets ignored. Our team can get quite wild and out of place often.

Hey! Season 6 is starting in just couple hours!
The Patch Notes are way too big to post here as a whole, so here is the Featured content:

**Featured**
**Chaos Tower**
Re-worked: Gain 1 buff/reward and choose 1 of 3 random debuffs per floor. Boss is accessed by key fragments dropped from the floors, no more quest.

**Inferno Difficulty
**Due to player demand we decided to add a new very hard difficulty to the game for late end game challenge (Bosses can drop an additional exclusive loot with 25%)

**Angel of Justice Shrine
**Added a new shrine on Inferno difficulty with a very small chance which always drops a random SS tier item (can also drop angelics).

**Blood Pact
**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. If you are not in an active pact you wont be able to play the character. 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.

- Major optimization to performance

Patch Notes for Update 6.1.4

- Fixed wrong player rank shown ingame

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.
