Hero Siege season 10 will launch on 14th of July bringing completely re-worked classes and 2 talent trees for each class instead of the single talent tree we had for them before + more awesome QOL changes, balance, back end re-works, optimization and bug fixes for long existed problems!!



We put out some paid content also, so you can support our constant work to keep the game alive and refreshing since most of the work we do is free for everyone who owns the base game!





We also put out a steam integration for awesome custom skins that can be obtained from lootboxes. Keys cost $1.49 and the items are tradable + sellable on the Steam Marketplace. We want to be completely transparent with our playerbase so here are the drop chances for each item tier:

Chances for the lootbox drops are:
- Superior Items (Blue) 65%
- Legendary Items (Orange) 20%
- Mythic (Purple) 10%
- Satanic (Red) 4%
- Angelic (Light Yellow) 1%



Here is a samurai with the new skin and satanic weapon skin + angelic shield skin



We will post the patch notes with the release, but you can still tune in on the open Beta to try out the new abilities and classes!!

We are also going to start working on ACT 8 - Gates of Valhalla after the season comes out, so its going to be a really busy summer. We plan on completely overhaul the questing system, add new stuff to the guild system and bring a new class to the table "Jötunn" which is an Ice / Lightning mage with the good old Orb of Frost from Diablo 2 sorceress!

- Steam Lootboxes + Key purchases & skins are now set up, currently will only work in beta
but items you gain will be added to your steam inventory, so you will have them forever.
the Steam Inventory can be accessed from PAUSE menu. Lootboxes have a chance to drop from all bosses and crystal chests with a steam set interval of 15 minutes.
