| Server Issues and Login Queues | 2026-04-04 | Greetings everyone! We are aware of all the login queues and issues with items, merchants etc. We are working to resolve these issues, but it requires some time to get everything done properly. And I emphasize _PROPERLY_ because it is of utmost importance that these systems are done with care, otherwise we can end up with even bigger issues. Here is a statement by our Server Technician: We have identified two main issues that were overlooked prior to the season launch: A bottleneck with the traffic on the "Main"" server that the game communicates with from time to time, especially right after login. This can cause the unfortunate black loadin |
| Brief maintenance | 2026-04-03 | We will be doubling the power/capacity of our main server, so there will be a roughly 30-60min maintenance. The amount of players absolutely succeeded our expectations. We were prepared for around 20k players but it went far beyond that causing our servers to get totally jammed. |
| Season 9 Release | 2026-04-03 | Season 9 is coming out today at 13.00 UTC Our team has been working day and night for 7 months to bring all of this content for you to enjoy, its been a wild ride! We have also released the PlayStation 5 version today, which has cross play with PC but unfortunately cross commerce wasnt an option (due to their extremely unfair cross commerce clause). Here are the major features for Season 9! Incarnation Tree. A passive skill tree that opens at level 100. Each hero level gives you a point to spend in the tree. Points are uncapped, so the higher hero level you get the more points you can spend. Ether Tree. A mechanics tree which lets you boost d |

| Free classes and monetization plans | 2025-11-25 | Greetings, We have been looking more into the monetization of the game and have decided to slowly move away from the excessive pay to play content. We have been working on the game for over a decade and never had a plan for monetization so DLC cumulated over the years and now it looks like a DLC simulator, which is not a good look nor is it what we want for our players. So for Season 9, we will be making these classes a FREE part of the game Amazon, Paladin, Samurai, Shaman, Demonspawn and Demon Slayer People who have previously bought these will get special skins which will replace the old class DLC's, since we cannot just remove them and pe |

| Incarnation Tree Progress for Season 9 | 2025-10-15 | Greetings, wanted to share a bit of the progress on the tree and so on. Currently we are mostly done with the initial tree design and it has 1200 nodes, but we will most likely add 200-300 more to cover more playstyles and class mechanics. The tree is done, working, functional but still needs some visual polish as its still a bit gritty due to zooming and pixel art. All the stats you gain from the tree will be shown in your stat sheet which will also be changed to show the stats you have in blue text on top, and showing the non obtained stats as gray on the bottom (not done yet). The tree features: Shift + hover a node: The tree finds the mos |
| Incarnation Tree Showcase | 2025-09-30 | Greetings, Here is a little showcase of the nodes in the upcoming Season 9 Incarnation Tree! All feedback is welcome and will be considered! |
| Season 9 Teaser | 2025-09-27 | Greetings to all of our beloved gamers, We will be having 2 new skill trees in Season 9. Incarnation tree which will replace the current hero level tree, giving you technically infinite scaling passive skill tree post level 100 and the Ether which is like an atlas tree used to buff mechanics you want to farm. I am aiming for close to 2000 nodes for the incarnation tree (for counter measure, poe tree has around 1250 nodes, correct me if im wrong). Hero Siege is here to serve all of your ARPG needs. Lets keep rocking and moving forward towards an amazing future! |
| Family Share has been disabled! | 2025-09-26 | We have disabled the Family Share option, as it was being exploited by cheaters to bypass bans.Players who previously used Family Share may need to re-link their PAS accounts to their personal Steam accounts. If this applies to you, please join our Discord and contact us via our ticketing system. You can find the contact information at the bottom of the page. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but this change is for the benefit of the whole community. |
| Season 8 is upon us | 2025-09-10 | Greetings fine people of Tarethiel. Season 8 out at 3PM GMT+2 on September 12th 2025 It is I, one of the burnt out developers (Elias). I had to think for a long while what to write so I decided to write nonsense, my brain and I think everyone's brains are fried at this point so we are just happy to be done with our latest development cycle. This is the single biggest patch we have ever done, notes are up to 1600 lines so get ready for a roller coaster.. Our team has also grown in size, we have hired community member and moderator Octa to do tickets since our QA team was kinda doing those and we don't want to waste their time on tickets, thus |
| LAUNCH ISSUE FIXED! | 2025-06-12 | We patched a potential fix to the launch issue yesterday and now confirm that everything is working properly. Sorry for the inconvenience! Now is the time to start cooking on Season 8! |
| ISSUE WITH GAME LAUNCH | 2025-06-10 | We are aware of the issue affecting launching the game from Steam. This can be fixed by reinstalling the game and/or verifying game files by right clicking the game on Steam. The issue is caused by the protection we added for this season to mitigate problems with cheating. We are working on a proper fix, but in the meantime these steps can be used to temporarily fix the problem. Sincere apologies for those affected and thank you for your continued support. We'll keep you updated when the situation changes. |
