HWR: Reforged Threads of Destiny. New DLC announcement and release date
Threads of Destiny will add four new story branches allowing the player to have even more freedom in choosing their own path. Defecting to the French side, joining Grace and Glory on their head-hunting adventures, offering your mercenary services to the lords of Italian city-states or seizing the English crown for yourself and completing the ultimate journey from a peasant to a king lots of possibilities that were previously only hinted at will now become completely viable options filled to the brim with new adventures, characters and dangerous challenges.
The combat system is going to receive a huge overhaul with all character's stats being rebalanced and new various bonuses introduced. The majority of existing weapons will have their movesets expanded with new attacks, many of them scaling from character's stats or through other conditions. At the same time, some other weapons and weapon classes, that were previously too well-rounded, will be tweaked a bit to better reflect their realistic advatages and disadvantages. Together with that, the game's arsenal of weapons, items and trinkets will be seriously expanded by all kinds fresh additions.
Members of the player squad will now start to more regularly interact with the player, responding to his behaviour in a positive or negative manner. Hiring honourable knights and crusaders and then commiting unvirtuous actions (or hiring thungs and criminals and then behaving like an upstanding christian) will naturally spark a discontent among your men leading to arguments, desertion or maybe even something worse. On the other hand - performing actions that will resonate with the members of your squad will make them train and fight harder or go out of their way to aid you in unexpected ways. These interactions will also extend to the combat sections with allies now being able to hand you over various items - spare shield or weapon if yours is broken, a couple of extra crossbow bolts if you ran out of ammunition or a specific consumable item if you're in need of one.
The overall structure of the civic talent system will remain the same, however it will receive a number of important improvements. The majority of civic talents will be reworked, generally becoming more potent and effective. The upgrade points, on the other hand, will be harder to come by, giving more important to the player's choice of talents.
The patch accompanying the DLC will also introduce public access to the Proving Grounds - a special game mode that allows the player to create a custom character with a specific set of stats and items and then duel against various enemies.
And lastly, as always, the update will bring a long list of bugfixes for various issues. These are the key elements of the upcoming update but the whole list of changes and additions is far from over. We are very much looking forward to release and hope that you are too!

Heads Will Roll: Reforged lets the player to take a role of an ordinary medieval soldier who finds himself in the middle of the legendary Hundred Years War between the kings of England and France. You start your way as a simple footman, whose sole ambition is to survive, but with proper skill and cunning or through blood and preservation, you might soon see yourself becoming one of the most famous knights of your time.
This game is a unique type of RPG with survival mechanics and turn-based combat that requires player to make careful decision both inside and outside the fight. The sophisticated combat system utilizes many different parameters including characters’ stats and attributes, familiarity and proficiency with certain weapons, weapon length, fatigue level, various traumas and injuries, as well as hundreds of different items and consumables.
The game offers more than 200 different lootable items varying from all kinds of medieval weaponry and armor to trinkets with unique effects, several types of poisons, medical supplies and many crafting items.
All of the actions that your character takes will have in-game consequences. The NPCs will change their opinions of you depending on how you treat them and how you behave both inside and outside of battle. This in turn will enable or disable various future interactions with them and sometimes trigger special events.
Make good use of any loot or supplies that you got your hands on. A lot of them can be combined in order to craft medical and utility items, as well as many types of crossbow ammunition.
Heads Will Roll utilizes many random generation elements that will turn two separate playthroughs into two completely unique experiences. Start with different items and stats, face different enemies, make different choices and live through different events each time you play.
The game has dozens of weapons ranging from swords, axes, maces and spears to throwing knives and crossbows. All of them have varying movesets that rely on and make use of different stats & skills (strength, agility etc.), while also having distinct features and countering each other in some way.
Fight not only for wealth and honor but also for the hearts of several stunning beauties with unique personalities, views on life and tastes in men. Conquering some of them might prove to be just as tricky as surviving the war.
Choose from a wide array of authentic medieval defensive equipment: from all kinds of helmets and armor to gorgets, bracers, greaves and chainmail stockings. All with varying qualities and characteristics.
Game features a complete Roguelike mode where player can level his profile with each death, unlocking new starting items and improving character's base characteristics allowing to progress further and take on even harder challenges.
There is a special story mode for those who are after the thrills and twists of the story rather than hardcore survival. It offers just enough of a challenge to keep you engaged as well as quick save and quick load options that can be accessed at any time.
