The Fall of Alfheim is now live!

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel update lands 

on PC and console today.

New God, New Class, and new Jotunn Boss comes for free!

 

 

Kosice, Slovakia – December 4, 2025 – Games Farm, ARTillery and Grindstone are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of The Fall of Alfheim, a massive free content update for the high-octane action-roguelite, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel, available now on PC (Steam & Epic), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. 

The Fall of Alfheim introduces a ruined new realm to conquer, the powerful Earthmother God Nerthus to aid players, a new spell-slinging Archmage class, and numerous new exciting ways to challenge Hel's forces.

 


 

 

A New Battlefield: The Ruin of Alfheim

Discover Alfheim, the former glorious realm of the Light Elves, now tragically infested and corrupted by endless tides of arachnids. This new environment demands entirely new strategies as ancient Elven magic is drained and beautiful sanctuaries fade into shadow.

In Alfheim, players will face:

  • New Modifiers and Objectives: Dynamic new challenges tied to the spider plague.
  • The Arachnid Jotunn (New Boss): The colossal matriarch of the swarm, this new boss commands her brood, unleashing large-scale web attacks and poison waves that can ensnare and overwhelm unprepared Jotunnslayers.

The Earthmother and the Archmage Join the Fight

Two major additions drastically expand the game's combat and customization options:

Nerthus: The Terrible Earthmother

The goddess of the earth, Nerthus, arrives as a new playable deity. Wielding the primal strength of nature, she channels the fury of earthquakes, famines, floods, and storms. Players can now command living forests and summon powerful beasts to combat Hel's machinations across the Nine Realms.

New Class: The Archmage

A powerful Elven magister, the Archmage survived the invasion of his homeland and channeled mastery over arcane and elemental magic. This new class starts with two unique innate traits:

  1. Magic Orbs: Conjured orbs of energy that constantly rotate and wound enemies.
  2. Power of Knowledge: Archmage begins with a 15% bonus chance for Double Cast.
  3. Teleport: Replaces the standard dash with a quick, damage-avoiding blink, balanced by a higher cooldown.

The Archmage specializes into four powerful subclasses:

  • Pyromancer: Enhances skills to inflict Burn and improves Teleportation with additional Dash and Dash Distance.
  • Stormbringer: Magical Orbs cast Chain Lightning, and all skills inflict Shock.
  • Venomancer: Attacks now explode, and skills inflict debilitating Poison.
  • Cryomancer: A defensive specialist; standing still generates an Icy Shield, and skills inflict Freeze.
