Purgatory DLC
There’s a lot of incredible talent rocking the world right now. To catch them, and then channel their furious voices into Metal: Hellsinger, is a sight to behold. A sight – or sound, rather – that you can hear right now, with the Purgatory DLC!
Put the pedal to the heavy metal with three new original songs, written by Two Feathers:
- Goodbye, My Morning Star performed by Matt Heafy (Trivium)
- Swallow the Fire performed by Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum)
- Mouth of Hell performed by Joe Bad (Fit for an Autopsy)
Strongly disagree with the denizens of Hell using a new tool of destruction: The Telos bow.
- Slay demons with arrows from a powerful bow.
- Deal extra headshot damage and charge up your shots.
- Pick up fired arrows to shoot without pause.
- Unleash a hail of arrows in a wide area with your ultimate.
Lastly, slay like nobody’s watching with three new cosmetic skins, available in the Outfits screen.
Horde Mode Free Update
Horde Mode has arrived! Escape the maw of the Leviathan and battle waves of increasingly challenging demons on various arenas.
Between each wave, choose one of three power-ups, and build yourself into a mean demon-slaying machine. The farther you get, the more void echoes you’ll earn, which can be spent on permanent upgrades between runs.
You can even create your own Horde Mode playlist, so the music shuffles between songs you’ve selected when you progress to another arena.
Should you succeed in completing the new mode, you will be rewarded with a badass new skin for the Unknown, giving you the power to spread her wings and glide slowly to the ground.
Thank you, Hellsingers!
Finally, we’d like to give a huge thank you to all of you. We feel your energy through the screen, especially when we announce new things like this. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on everything we’ve just released.
Go forth, Hellsingers.
Make Hell fear the beat! ????
NEW ADDITIONS
New game mode: Leviathan
- Pick up from where the story ends in the Main Campaign with the new Leviathan horde game mode, accessible from the main menu.
- Find a way to escape the maw of the beast, through three arenas, hordes of demons, and a new boss fight!
- The Leviathan is ever in flux, and the order of the arenas will be different every time you begin your escape.
- To carve a path forward, you’ll need to hone your skills: kill demons, gather Echo Shards for experience, unlock new Memories and upgrade choices, at the Altar of Echoes.
- Beware of the Leviathan’s decaying aura – weapons will fade from your hands and the Unknown’s usual methods of destruction are not to be taken for granted.
- Find comfort in death by gathering Void Echoes; with enough of them, you can unlock Dreams, more permanent abilities, that will aid you in your next escape attempt. And the next one. And the next one...
- If you change your mind, you can reset your Dreams, and try a different path.
- Encounter a new foe! Defeating the final boss unlocks a new outfit (which comes with its own new ability, too. Unlock it to find out!).
- Use any of the songs you have available to create a Leviathan Playlist, which will shuffle and give each arena a song of its own.
- If you choose only one song, only that one favorite track will play.
- If no choice is made, all the songs you have available will shuffle.
- Note: the Leviathan Playlist does not affect the boss music in Leviathan.
