Loot goblins, rejoice! Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 has just dropped its very first free update, and it’s stuffed with everything your grind-happy heart could want. Titled the “Epic Missions” update, this chunky slice of post-launch content adds brand-new endgame Map Missions-perfect for testing your mettle (and your gear) with up to three friends in co-op.
Expect familiar bosses with new tricks, fresh biomes, and tougher arenas as you take on revamped versions of classic nasties like the Bandit Lords, Spiders, and Ghosts from Hammerwatch 2. Think you’ve mastered them already? Think again. These returning villains come with beefed-up movesets and the promise of sparkly purple-tier loot if you can survive the onslaught.
More than just new maps…
Alongside the juicy endgame missions, the update also brings:
- Improved Steam Deck support so you can loot on the go
- Full localisation in French, German, Russian, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese
Never the same run twice
If you’re new to Heroes of Hammerwatch 2, here’s the deal: it’s a rogue-lite action-RPG bursting with randomly generated levels, deep customisation, and persistent progression. Smash through the ever-twisting halls of the Dark Citadel, collect powerful gear, and slowly turn your character into a walking death machine. Every run earns you progress-even when it ends in disaster.
Return from your dungeon dives to build up your town, enhance your kit, and unlock permanent upgrades. And when you’ve crushed the Citadel? There’s always New Game+, with even tougher enemies and fatter rewards.
Oh, and right now, you can grab Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 on Steam for 50% off. Just saying.
