@FiskyBizniz that is next on the line once we get PS5 out the way :)

@panicartstudios No xbox launch?

Hero Siege season 9 will be available on April 3rd 2026 on PlayStation 5 and STEAM! Featuring: - Incarnation Tree, featuring 1600+ nodes (Passive skill tree, but it opens at level 100 and replaces the old hero level skill tree) - Ether Tree, featuring 400+ nodes (Atlas tree, buffing all different mechanics within the game) - Prophet Class (Strong influence from Diablo 2 druid, but more thematic towards nature´s prophet from dota thematically) - The Architect of Ruin (New uber boss with its own side zone, collectibles to unlock access and insane new items in its drop pool) - Cursed Spirit overworld map mechanic, endless waves of monsters till the timer runs out. Kill monsters and pop pustules to gain more time! The farther you go the more magic find the spirit will have when it gives its loot! - All items and gold are now 100% behind server authority thus rendering cheating and duping them impossible (Fair and healthy ingame economy and marketplace) - Massive texture optimization and new drawing system paired with deltatiming everything from skills to effects improving the performance of the game significally. - Massive improvements to controller functionality, UI navigation and local co-op splitscreen. - Tarethiel Market now suggests a default price for items according to selling history for said item, you can also inspect the most recent prices the item has been sold for. - We replaced Samurai, Paladin, Amazon, Demon Slayer, Demonspawn and Shaman class DLC's with skins and made the classes free, moving towards a less pay walled product. - Essence Vault system completely re-worked and made much more fun and easy to unlock them. - Hundreds of lines of Item Balance and Class Balance making less powerful builds more fun to play, also fixing lots of non functional nodes that were missed in prior testing. No significant nerfs except for totally broken builds. youtube.com/watch?v=dwxpcG…

@bromanguy0 cheers <3

@panicartstudios Thank you! I really like Hero Siege too

I lost my job because of AI today, and now I won't shut up about my game. Wishlist SOULGRAVE - it's the only thing I have left now

The Incarnation tree is stupidly insane, you take the summon nodes that turn your summons into walking bombs and delete Shadow Reaper so fast it doesn't even give you loot or create a portal. A little fix is needed here :D

@NeltharionV Its pretty neat yeah, it was done for the trailer but I dont see a reason why not make the current one into this. 🔥

@panicartstudios Omg, can we keep this character selection screen? It's sick!

Here I am at 5 am doing this thing just for a trailer :D Turned out pretty cool!

@TorgHeadbanger We made that 1 season ago, its a full character class 😁

@panicartstudios You got a redneck class? How about a metalhead class with a guitar weapon?! XD

@dieemjoseph 🫡 Cheers! I hope this patch will provide a ton of enjoyment, we have worked day and night for 7 months to make it reality 🌞

@panicartstudios I’m ready to drop 100 dollars

@dieemjoseph You get 17 out of 23 classes from the base game + the valhalla expansion. We are also making most of them free for PC with the next big update.

@panicartstudios Hey looking forward to the ps5 release. I have been watching closely for years. How exactly is the pricing going to be for all the characters. Is there a bundle I can buy with the game for all of them or will I have to buy the additional characters separately?

Every person needs one of these. You mess with the honk you get the bonk 💀

@metaroot_ch What is it that you can actually offer? I have never thought of a publisher as other than a leech that benefits from someones hard work with next to no benefits for the hard worker (comparing publisher to self publish). Just curious.

Hey devs, We are a small, family-run publisher based in Switzerland. We are currently looking for PC games to publish this autumn, as well as for 2027 and beyond. We'd love to see your projects! We look forward to receiving your pitches at: chat@metaroot.ch

@SteveJackn111 majority of them are just unrealistic expectations of business practices, nothing to really do with the game it self which is sad.

@panicartstudios your reviews are trash on steam

After season 9 we will be focusing on our next Expansion which we have been silently working on on the side ;) So much to come for Hero Siege!

@Nappy_Thrasher We have the latest expansion paid and the old one becomes free and part of the base game, this is how we keep the servers up and the development online.

@panicartstudios Are the expansions free?

HERO SIEGE | COMING SOON TO PS5 I'm so thrilled to announce that "Hero Siege" will coming soon to PlayStation 5 on April 3, 2026 where you'll catch me voicing Luna, the Prophet (As shown in the PS5 photo), and Miss Exorcist! ⚔️🔥 Game Development Team: @panicartstudios Wishlist Now on PS5! 🕹️💥 #voiceacting #actionrpg #pixelgraphics #2dgame #ps5

@chakelata @Jungroan Havent noticed a significant bump in pricing for our servers at least, lets hope not.

@panicartstudios @Jungroan I imagine it's getting even more experience now with hardware prices increasing due to AI (and I'd guess AI itself has been driving prices up as well)

losing maps that cost 100 divines+ due to server instability is insane too LMAO. come on GGG

@Dread7404 @Dexerto We made 16k first day of hero siege in 2014. We made 70k in one day in 2025. That doesnt mean anything. Now we hope he keeps working hard and making more stuff and gaining more following and making even more money (money which is just a necessary evil in all of this)

@Dexerto 30k is very little no? Or is it such a hit it’ll blow up after this? 30K is what most people make a year so 4 years of time for 30k seems pretty bad but I’m not hating I’m just curious what the deal is. I know it’s only 30 hours but what’s the predicted outcome

Game dev Cakez77 reacts to how much money his game made 30 hours after release following four years of development

@guidedcucumber android yes, ios no

@panicartstudios Any plans for the update to reach android ios?

Since PlayStation 5 store lacks a lot of couch co-op games, we made sure that the couch co-op in Hero Siege is absolutely amazing! I LOVE the split screen effect, 360 rotating and merging when youre close!
