Enjoy the trailer for our new game mode - Demon Horde 5 Year Anniversary Event - April 29th to May 13th 2024: Players joining the game during this time-limited anniversary event will be rewarded with an exclusive in-game emblem and banner to commemorate MORDHAU’s legacy. Plus, enjoy extra GOLD and XP throughout the event. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/bcd04f753ab033c0ce04d88d757141f2998a33e3.jpg Demon Horde: As part of the anniversary patch, the Horde Mode has undergone a substantial overhaul. This classic game mode is revitalised with revamped maps, inventory system enhancements, skill tree adjustments, the introduction of new NPC adversaries, and an array of fresh weaponry. Did somebody say “Blunderbuss”? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/6508ffc1a2f9bf8d4a1944c6b21dcea88a3277b6.png New Map Variants: Castello, Mountain Peak and Totenwald have undergone a hellish transformation, infused with demonic energy and swarming with fresh enemies.. Amidst the chaos, the players must navigate through a variety of objectives, each demanding a different approach, culminating in a final battle. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/e0f53cc39eba5a37189168169c869171a0891b0b.png Difficulty scaling - Prestige: We are introducing a new difficulty scaling system in the Demon Horde maps - Prestige. Consecutive wins will increase the Prestige level by 35%, while consecutive losses will reduce it by 20%.

The atmosphere marks a significant departure from our existing maps. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/d359c587613ba0211538cbbdc0ffc2dc4c7c281e.png The map was conceptualized and designed to have a dark and ominous tone. The forest setting itself draws inspiration from German and Austrian forests, while the castle is inspired by “Gravensteen,” also known as “The Castle of the Counts.” {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/a004abf4aae8d548facd4e2ceac4fa80b9840cdd.png The rain and fog contribute to giving the map a unique and bleak atmosphere. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/c12eb3b0b27ef961f8ef838f504494cc2fd43b38.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/8d389d2fd45624559ced03f21eeb0093e1c314c5.png The Joust set is inspired by one of the most savage competitions humanity has ever witnessed. Charge into the arena as the noble Knights did with the prominent frog-mouth helm. To complete the look, we've re-imagined the awl pike as a partisan skin. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/ff1da6dfff91dcef5449bbde1d7bdaea7b4c4059.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/00e31d0b94c2361f5c46b64d8eb727cc077384bd.png The Archduke Set DLC draws heavy inspiration from Gothic plate armor of the 15th century, paired with an elegantly etched polehammer. This DLC features one of the most intricate designs inspired by our history. The armor set will shine thanks to the newly added third pattern variation, which unlocks different metal tints for each piece. Adorn yourself with the luxurious fluted sections and explore never-before-seen configurations with the new sash, serving as a skirt substitute. Stand out with the ornate sallet in either the medium or heavy variant, enhanced with additional deer antlers.

A free-for-all where everyone starts the match with the same weapon. With each kill the player receives the next weapon that is set in the weapons list for the mode, and has to use it to score the next kill, after which the process repeats. The first player to reach a predetermined kill score with the weapons from the list wins the match. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/fd3de4c3af29156f8d5835b36088bfc366690abb.png We wanted the Crude armor set to be the embodiment of usability, durability and to represent an armor that has seen its fair share of battles, so we had a total rework of it with improved texture quality and the additions of two helmet and two shoulder variations to represent our vision. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/09ef8bf6fb8522a113b27f01837fd878b5b4c792.png New skins for the RoyalGuard halberd and the Crude bill with a more refined and royal look to them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/43de913a70dea01828e177f0b07a863a9d633df1.png Two new female voice sets are being added to the core game; Female French & Female German. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/8d945c9f1270fcac7d5b41adb9278fb1c2229f85.png For those of you that want to scream and shout at your opponents with additional pugnacity and contentiousness, we have prepared the perfect combo!

Instead of horses, you will now be able to find more theme appropriate camels across the desert landscapes - Noria and Arid, that is. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/ce2ab533bcc2a7c0c3907f98f88efafc12f6041b.jpg Actually, it's a dromedary. We have merged the Frontline & Invasion playlists, with end of round voting deciding what maps and modes get picked. This step was necessary to consolidate the fragmented player base and there was significant overlap between the two modes. With this update, we are experimenting with novice servers for the larger game modes in hopes of reducing the barrier to entry. We will be tweaking this as we go.

Eastern Invasion is here! The main attraction is Noria, a new large Invasion/Frontline map. On the customization side, we have the new Nubian character complete with his own hairstyles and beards, a large amount of Eastern-themed cosmetics, and an all-new Eastern voice set, as well as a new weapon, the Scimitar. That's not everything, though. This patch also contains Cortile, which is a smaller map for the Brawl (and Ranked) modes, and a revamped Horde mode. Horde now has 52 skills that players can specialize in across 4 different trees, and changes the focus of the mode to defending a central noble AI character. The enemies have had several passes to make them more interesting and fun, and more changes and improvements will come to the mode in the future. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/e4cb84bf27ffca47ced7a9d6f65eb63868652ddc.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/81aad131a9e1b92094b8a37b540d2b990243e8ba.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34421058/e08ed7e4bb788a5885b52542962e1f59e43b2712.jpg We're also releasing two full sets of armor (plus weapon) as DLC: the Grotesque and Lion sets.

With Patch #22, we have upgraded Unreal Engine from 4.20 to 4.25. This spans two years worth of engine updates, solving many underlying technical issues and giving us access to new tools. We know this took a while, but we had to make sure everything still works, and fix a lot of things that simply stopped working for one reason or another. While not the massive content update a lot of you were hoping for (that one is still coming!), we have included new cosmetics, entirely redesigned the play areas of maps for Brawl, added two new Frontline variants, and some combat changes to shake things up. Among the changes to combat are making miss combos easier to punish, combo feint-to-parry easier to perform, while movement has received changes to make it more streamlined and fun. Bloodlust has been reworked in order to tone it down, the viability of gambling with kicks has been reduced, and weapons are now less likely to get stuck on environment. For a more detailed description of changes, take a look at the changelog below.

We are also enabling double XP and Gold for a week!

Combat

• Adjusted horse bump, removing bumps from behind and greatly reducing bumps from sides
• Shield wall can only be raised out of idle now, fixing various exploits
• Bloodlust reworked - no longer gives extra health on kill, now starts regenerating health on kill right away which will stop if you get flinched or start a parry. Point cost adjusted.

• Global knockback reduced slightly

• Time to get ragdolled from falling increased from 1.25s to 1.5s

• Toolbox now banned in skirmish
• Killing peasants no longer hitstops
• No flinch attacks no longer knockback

Hi all! We've been closely working with our server providers, and yesterday we replaced all of our east and central North American servers - this should help a little with some of the issues we're facing. If you're in these regions, please let us know how you're liking the new servers, and keep in mind that this isn't the end-all-be-all for server improvements; we are continuing to monitor our network situation and we'll be looking into ways to improve things going forwards. Thanks for your patience!
