Hello everyone!
We're back with more news about the upcoming Hadean Tactics DLC, and the 2.0 update!
About That Release Date...
We were originally planning to launch the DLC today, March 5th. But as you may know, the sequel to Slay The Spire, the game that inspired us to make Hadean Tactics, is also launching today.
We love STS, and we know a lot of you love it too and are going to be playing it. So we decided that the best move is to postpone the HT DLC launch to April. We're gonna use this time to polish it even further and build more content for you all to enjoy.
In the meantime, we want to share a glimpse of the DLC:
The Moonhunter
Our fourth Hero is Selene, the Moonhunter - an exiled hunter from an ancient Order sworn to slay Luciferos. Cast out by her own people, Selene carries within her the power of the Moon Goddess.
Today we want to dive a little deeper into what she will play like.
Moon Phases
Selene's powers are based on the phases of the moon. The moon cycles through phases throughout your run, strategically changing how you play. Learning to both read and manipulate the moon is at the heart of playing the Moonhunter.
And if you manage to trigger a lunar Eclipse, that's when Selene reaches her full power.
Moonmarks
Though she's been exiled from her Order, Selene is still a hunter. She marks her targets with Moonmarks, which shatter under the right conditions. The effects of shattering Moonmarks depend on the moon phase.
Critical Attacks
On top of her moon mechanics, the Moonhunter also plays into critical strikes. Expect to find crit synergies throughout her cards, skills, and relics, giving you another layer of strategy to build around.
Full Hero Pack
Like the other three Heroes, the Moonhunter comes fully loaded: a deck of 60+ cards, new recruitable units, new relics, alliances, and more...
The 2.0 Update
The DLC launch will come alongside the 2.0 update, marking the biggest content drop Hadean Tactics has ever had. Here's just a few of the things you can look forward to:
Arena (Endless Mode)
We'll be introducing a new game mode: Arena! It's a quick-play experience - choose your Hero, fight through waves, and see how far you can go.
Starter Deck Customization
When playing with a Custom Deck, you will be able to select a card to add to your starting deck.
These are just some of the things we're bringing to Hadean Tactics in April. There's a lot more that we'll reveal next month!
Sale Time!
We're taking part in both the Women's Day Event and #TurnBasedThursdayFest 2026 this month! Hadean Tactics will be 50% OFF until March 16th!
