Action-roguelite Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is set to receive a pretty spicy looking update next week on 13th May.
Update 0.4, also known as Svartalfheim Descent, bumps up the roster by adding a new playable hero to the fold. The Warden Class has been described as a stout dwarven hero with unbreakable resolve, and an unquenchable appetite for combat, food, and gold.
The headlining feature, though, is a new mine-themed realm known as Svartalfheim. Comprised of never-ending stone-carved halls and sprawling mineshafts, this new map also brings with it new enemies, gods, objectives, modifiers, and more.
As we reported late last year, there is currently a demo available for Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel. So, if Norse mythology and Vampire Survivors are your kind of thing, you might want to give it a download.
You can check out the trailer for Svartalfheim Descent below:

Cool roguelike deckbuilders: Balatro | Sorry, Slay the Spire fans, but this poker-solitaire deckbuilder has stolen Mike’s heart and won’t give it back.
Exciting roguelike platformers: Spelunky | Now, don’t get us wrong, Dead Cells is an incredible game, especially with all the DLC switched on. But when it comes to impact, you just can’t beat Spelunky.
