Nexon is excited to share that brand-new content is scheduled to drop today as part of Warhaven’s Pre-Season 2 mid-season Steam Early Access update!

The new content includes the first of Warhaven’s indoor maps “The Hangar”, a new 12v12 reclamation game mode, as well as a handful of in-game events that will run in parallel with Twitch Drops campaigns where players will be able to obtain unique rewards.

The Hangar is a unique location in the Warhaven universe, home of the wyverns used for transportation to and from the battlegrounds of the immortals. The Hangar serves as both an airbase for troop housing and deployment and as a safehouse for the storage of Divine Stones, magical artifacts reclaimed from battlefields around the world. A large-scale, 12v12 variant of the reclamation game mode will be available exclusively in The Hangar. In this variation, teams are tasked with securing a Divine Stone, transporting it to a predefined evacuation point, and escaping with it before their opponents. The indoor nature of the Hangar will open strategic opportunities for soldiers to either push the frontlines and drive the Divine Stone forward, or flank the opposing team and reduce their numbers by attacking when they least expect it. The map also sports both daytime and nighttime versions.

In addition to the new map and game mode, this mid-season refresh will also feature new in-game events. The “Artic Hangar” event will run from January 10th to January 24th, The “Jade Dragon Rising” event will run from January 24th to February 7th. Both events will feature rewards such as skins for your favorite soldiers, avatars, and profile cards and will run in parallel with Twitch Drops campaigns.
