Hey Jotunnslayers!
It’s been a while since the Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel cross-platform 1.0 launch - but we’ve been far from quiet behind the scenes. The team has been working hard to polish performance, tweak balance, and prepare something we know you’ve been waiting for...
New content updates are coming!
In this dev blog, we’re giving you a sneak peek into what’s next - including new difficulties, fresh weapons for every class, and a hint at a much bigger update lurking around the corner.
Grab your axes, bows, and spells - it’s time to head back into the Hordes of Hel.
NEW DIFFICULTIES: RELAXED ENDLESS MODE + NIGHTMARE MODE
One of the most common requests we’ve seen from the community is to make the endless mode more flexible - something that fits both laid-back adventurers and pure chaos-seekers.
So we’re introducing two new difficulty modes to suit both sides of the spectrum:
Relaxed endless mode
A more chill and sandbox-style take on endless mode.
Enemies scale more slowly, torments and boss intervals are removed, and you can take your time experimenting with builds and strategies.
Just note - you’ll earn fewer resources as a trade-off for the slower pace.
Nightmare mode
Think you’ve mastered Insane? Think again.
Nightmare Mode lets you customize your own difficulty, pushing the limits of what’s possible.
Crank it up as much as you dare - and see how long you can survive the madness.
NEW WEAPONS FOR EVERY CLASS
Every class is getting stronger - and deadlier.
In this update, each hero receives their sixth weapon, unlocking new ways to wreak havoc across Hel.
Berserker - Dwarven axes
Blade barrier: A swirling wall of blades that deals constant damage and grants +40 Health.
Seeress - Staff of wonders
Dark slime: Launches slime bombs that explode into corrosive pools. Also grants a 10% chance for bonus skill or reward choices. 
Revenant - Cursed bow
Cursed caltrops: A volley of spiked traps that curse enemies on contact and provide 5% damage reduction.
Flame Sister - Shade dagger
Fires three waves of impaling daggers and increases Class Skill damage by 14%.
Warden - Clan hammer
Call of the ancestors: Summons charging dwarves to aid you in battle. The hammer also boosts XP gain by 13%.
Kinslayer - Heroic halberd
Unleashes a feral shout that boosts both offense and defense, while restoring +1.5 Health per second. Warcry.
New visuals, new mechanics, new chaos.
AND AFTER THAT...
Once Update no. 1 land, we won’t be slowing down.
A major content update is already on the horizon - with a new map, new hero, new god, and new boss coming soon.
Expect more info in the upcoming weeks of November.

The world of Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is growing - and the best (and bloodiest) is yet to come.
Stay sharp, stay strong, and…
