KING OF THE HILL: SEASON 28

• Seasonal Mutation: "Season of Newbies" •

In the previous 27th season, we introduced "Seasonal Mutations" – significant changes to Despot’s Game that alter the game's perception for one season. Seasons last on average 3-4 weeks, and when the season ends, these changes are reverted.

"Season of Titans" has ended! All item prices and the Healers' healing bonus return to their original values.
Welcome to Season 28: "Newbie Season".
Now in modes with food, the price of newbies will increase just like in no-food modes—each subsequent newbie will cost 1 token more; price cap – 11. In no-food modes, the price cap price is increased and is 20.

We have taken your feedback from the previous season into account: seasonal mutations do not apply to "Normal" and "Eazy" modes.
