Nexon, the developer of Warhaven, has officially announced the launch date for pre-season 1. This update introduces a new class, a Halloween-themed event, and a ranked game mode called Competition. Fans can experience Nexon's new content on October 18 at 8 pm PT/11 pm ET.
Warhaven is a free-to-play medieval fantasy brawler game that tasks players with assembling two teams of 12 and competing in objective-based matches. Each character is rich in lore and possesses unique roles and abilities. Additionally, players have the ability to transform into Immortals, serving a greater purpose as gods. While Warhaven is currently in early access on Steam as Nexon continues to refine the game, it still offers exciting festivities for players to enjoy.
It's the Soulsdance Festival, an exciting Halloween event that introduces a range of new skins for various Soldiers and Immortals in the game. The festival trailer showcases some of these skins in action, featuring a Werewolf-inspired skin and cloaks inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. At the heart of the trailer is the unveiling of the new class, the Bard, with a captivating introduction that bears a resemblance to Shrek, followed by mesmerizing musical performances on the battlefield.
Warhaven's Competition Mode will be introduced alongside Pre-Season 1 and the Soulsdance Festival for high-level players. In order to participate in Competition Mode, players must first reach level 30. This mode will unlock new rewards for Pre-Season 2 when it becomes available. The rewards will be determined by the player's rank at the end of this Pre-Season. Initially, Competition Mode will be active and enabled for Warhaven's Onslaught, Dominion, and Arms Race game modes, functioning as a ranked mode for the brawler title.
Overall, it will be interesting to see how Warhaven's Pre-Season 1 unfolds and contributes to the ongoing development of the game. The addition of the Bard class adds a fun element that could enhance team composition strategies. The Soulsdance Festival brings season-appropriate skins to the game, adding a touch of charm. Competition Mode ensures that early access players have the opportunity to accumulate rewards before the next Pre-Season. While the specifics of the next Pre-Season are unknown, it appears that Nexon is already planning for the future.
Warhaven is available now for PC via Steam early access, with a console release planned for the near future.
