May 13, 2025 – Discover the All-New Dwarven Warden Class and Roadmap Reveal in this Major Content Update on PC. In Svartalfheim Descent players can explore never-ending stone carved halls, mineshafts, and foundries of the industrious Svartalfar.
Global Indie Game Publisher Grindstone and developer Games Farm are excited to announce that Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series in 2025. The game’s major new content update, Svartalfheim Descent, is now available on PC.
Major Content Update Introduces
A New Realm: Svartalfheim, filled with challenging environments and new enemies.
New Gods: The legendary brothers Brokk and Sindri, Forge Masters and Rune Whisperers, who bring powerful passive bonuses through their runes.
New Dwarven Warden Class: The last of the dwarven kind – a fortress on legs. This semi-ranged tank wields a hammer and shield, boasting heavy defense, crowd control, and a hunger for food, glory, and gold.
New Enemies: Flyers, spitters, troll riders, and hobgoblin raiding parties now roam the mines.
New Boss: A new Jötunn monstrosity awaits in the final act.
New Community Event: Starting May 13, 2025, all players are invited to participate in Hobgoblins Everywhere to unlock unique weapons and a trophy. This update also includes numerous gameplay improvements and bug fixes.
Looking ahead, Jötunnslayer will be launching on PS5 and Xbox Series later this year, with all content released for early access – including the Svartalfheim Descent update – coming to console at launch. The updated roadmap highlights what’s still to come, including the new realm of Helheim, an all-new God, a new Class, and the highly anticipated Endless Mode.
