Hammerwatch 2 (New thread). Jul 10, 2016 @ 12:05pm I loved the art, how you improved the graphics without losing the focus, the essence. Action RPG rogue-lite Heroes of Hammerwatch is here with all the DLCs! Wow, that is good news! I am really looking forward to Hammerwatch 2, even if we have to wait for Christmas 2016.

Heroes of Hammerwatch [Official Site] isn't quite Hammerwatch 2, but it this roguelike hack and slash RPG/adventure game should release for Linux.
I know there's a number of Hammerwatch fans in our readership, so hopefully this will be interesting for you!
Konami slots code. It was announced last month, which I somehow completely missed. I didn't see any platform release information so I reached out to the developer about a Linux version and they said:
(TLDR at the end) Good-day all Hammerwatch fans, in this little news update I will tell you guys about our new game in the series and something about Hammerwatch 1. People expecting Hammerwatch 2 news will have to wait a little while, perhaps end of next week or the week after, where I will give a similar post but focus on that game alone! 7th February 2013 / 12:00PM It’s the greatest guilt trip in gaming: “Red Valkyrie shot the food”. You and your friends are surrounded by skeletons, there are monster spawners in the corners of the room and all the wizard needs to make it through the harrowing battle is a roast chicken.
Yes, it's what we're aiming for!

Okay, but what will it feature?

Biker gang games. They plan to release it in 'Q1 2018' with seemingly no firm date set just yet.
Also, they've said they have a patch for the original Hammerwatch in development which will overhaul some character art, add in a new class and balance changes. They hope to release that patch 'at some point'.
On top of that, it seems news of Hammerwatch 2 is due soon as well! You can read all about it in this post on Steam.
