We are proud to unveil our latest patch for MORDHAU which introduces four brand-new Demon Horde maps, adds Horde maps back into the rotation, includes an array of quality-of-life (QoL) improvements, addressing Banner and Bear-trap intractability, and bug fixes, unveils updated weapon animations and attacks, and features a new Weapons Pack DLC

You can read the full Change-logs below!

The four new Demon Horde maps bring new and distinct and immersive aesthetics to the mode. Brace yourself to venture into a blight-infested Grad, where twisted roots and dark corruption have overtaken the once-proud castle walls.


Face the eerie and ethereal inhabitants of Contraband and confront the darkness within.


Confront the treacherous alleyways of Feitoria, a town shattered and warped by the devastating influence of a demonic comet shower, leaving destruction and dark magic in its wake.


Venture into Taiga, a forest village twisted and corrupted by the dark forces emanating from the nearby mine, where the unfortunate inhabitants lurk among the blaze inferno of the forest.



We are excited to present the Banisher Weapon Pack DLC, featuring 12 beautifully crafted weapon skins inspired by demonic forces. Each weapon showcases a blend of refined craftsmanship and dark, menacing designs, turning your arsenal into a collection of legendary tools to cut through enemies—human or demonic—with brutal precision. We can’t wait to see how you unleash these masterpieces and bring a new level of style to your battles.

It has been 5 years since MORDHAU was unleashed into the world, and to celebrate this momentous occasion we have been busy working on a brand new game mode, cosmetics and some great new giveaways to those who play the game during the anniversary event!

Enjoy the trailer for our new game mode - Demon Horde

5 Year Anniversary Event - April 29th to May 13th 2024: Players joining the game during this time-limited anniversary event will be rewarded with an exclusive in-game emblem and banner to commemorate MORDHAU’s legacy. Plus, enjoy extra GOLD and XP throughout the event.



Demon Horde: As part of the anniversary patch, the Horde Mode has undergone a substantial overhaul. This classic game mode is revitalised with revamped maps, inventory system enhancements, skill tree adjustments, the introduction of new NPC adversaries, and an array of fresh weaponry. Did somebody say “Blunderbuss”?



New Map Variants: Castello, Mountain Peak and Totenwald have undergone a hellish transformation, infused with demonic energy and swarming with fresh enemies.. Amidst the chaos, the players must navigate through a variety of objectives, each demanding a different approach, culminating in a final battle.



Difficulty scaling - Prestige: We are introducing a new difficulty scaling system in the Demon Horde maps - Prestige. Consecutive wins will increase the Prestige level by 35%, while consecutive losses will reduce it by 20%. This feature ensures that the challenge level dynamically adjusts according to player performance.



Horde Skills rework: Many of the existing Horde skills have been updated to work with the new Demon Horde mode and offer returning players a broader range of options to tailor their gaming experience.

Blessed Weapons: Players will have the ability to bless weapons at Altars for a fee, granting them enhanced damage and giving them new abilities or alterations. We have also introduced new weaponry to combat the demonic forces. Can you find them all?



New DLC Content: Introducing the Adventurer Pack, consisting of four unique armour sets incorporating fantasy elements.

Patch #28 is finally here! It brings a new map called Totenwald, a fresh cosmetic set named Joust, and a brand new cosmetic DLC set known as "The Archduke," alongside various game changes and some fixes!



Totenwald translates to "Forest of the Dead” in German. The atmosphere marks a significant departure from our existing maps.



The map was conceptualized and designed to have a dark and ominous tone. The forest setting itself draws inspiration from German and Austrian forests, while the castle is inspired by “Gravensteen,” also known as “The Castle of the Counts.”



The rain and fog contribute to giving the map a unique and bleak atmosphere.






The Joust set is inspired by one of the most savage competitions humanity has ever witnessed. Charge into the arena as the noble Knights did with the prominent frog-mouth helm. To complete the look, we've re-imagined the awl pike as a partisan skin.







The Archduke Set DLC draws heavy inspiration from Gothic plate armor of the 15th century, paired with an elegantly etched polehammer. This DLC features one of the most intricate designs inspired by our history. The armor set will shine thanks to the newly added third pattern variation, which unlocks different metal tints for each piece. Adorn yourself with the luxurious fluted sections and explore never-before-seen configurations with the new sash, serving as a skirt substitute. Stand out with the ornate sallet in either the medium or heavy variant, enhanced with additional deer antlers.

The new DLC set can be found here:

Patch #27 is finally here, and it includes several exciting additions; including a new game mode - Swordgame, two new female voice sets French & German, Continental voice pack 2 DLC, rework of the Crude set, new weapons skins and more!



The new game mode will be added to the Brawl playlist; the Sword Game. A free-for-all where everyone starts the match with the same weapon. With each kill the player receives the next weapon that is set in the weapons list for the mode, and has to use it to score the next kill, after which the process repeats. The first player to reach a predetermined kill score with the weapons from the list wins the match.



We wanted the Crude armor set to be the embodiment of usability, durability and to represent an armor that has seen its fair share of battles, so we had a total rework of it with improved texture quality and the additions of two helmet and two shoulder variations to represent our vision.



New skins for the RoyalGuard halberd and the Crude bill with a more refined and royal look to them.



Two new female voice sets are being added to the core game; Female French & Female German.



For those of you that want to scream and shout at your opponents with additional pugnacity and contentiousness, we have prepared the perfect combo! The new Continental Voice Pack 2 DLC, which includes:

• two Male (Nordic, Irish) and
  
• two Female (Italian, Slavic) voice sets
