Build Release Notes – v8.3

By Ares Interactive / April 16, 2026

The Hordes Are Rising — Version 8.3 Update

The battlefield is changing — and the hordes are no longer just something you survive.

They’re rising.

With Version 8.3, we’re introducing a new wave of events, fresh content to unlock, and a mystery that’s starting to unfold across Midlantica.


The Hordes Are Rising Event

Starting April 19, multiple events will take over the game — each packed with new rewards and new challenges.

This update brings:

  • A brand-new hero to unlock

  • A powerful new weapon to build around

  • A new pet to strengthen your runs

  • Unique skins to customize your roster

But beneath the surface, something feels off.

The hordes are behaving differently.

Are they fighting among themselves… or turning against our heroes?


New Adventure — A Mystery Returns

A new Adventure arrives on April 23, and once again, the hero at its center is unknown.

No name. No reveal. Just questions.

If you’ve been here before, you know what that means — speculation, theories, and the race to uncover who’s next.


Improvements

We’ve made updates to improve overall performance and smooth out your experience across the game.

We’ve also updated Battery Saver activation from tap to swipe, helping prevent accidental gem spending during autoplay sessions.


Bug Fixes

This update includes several fixes to improve stability and gameplay:

  • Pet levels now display correctly during restored runs

  • Bombardier Level 5 Forge is now functioning properly

  • Bard Level 2 Forge has been fixed

  • Hero skin carousel issues resolved

  • Zeus attack audio issue fixed

  • Delayed purchase issues on iOS resolved


What’s Next

Version 8.3 is just the beginning.

The story is shifting. The events are expanding. And the hordes are no longer predictable.

Stay ready — because what’s coming next won’t wait.
