- Version 1.13 - 13 December 2023
A New Way Forward We are happy to announce that we have replaced our dedicated server solution with a more permanent one, allowing players to once again search for matches in the online Play menu! So jump back in and start searching! The Return of Draft Showdown After much consideration and requests, we have brought back Draft Showdown as the main game mode for Godsbane. We feel this adds a far more strategic and exciting element to the game. New Power: Wicked Path Grants the bearer damage. At the start of each round, condemn the tile the bearer stands on. When an enemy steps on a condemned tile, it gets dealt magic damage per second for the rest of the round. Condemned tiles that haven't been stepped on persist the entire match. Noteworthy Updates There has been a complete re-write of the backend networking code, improving stability and reducing issues when playing online matches. Unit…
- Version 1.12 - 3 February 2023
After a long period in the dark, we have revisited our primary game mode and have made the decision to revert back to the classic constructed mode where your custom drafts are taken into battle. This applies for all means of ranked, solo play and friendly challenges. Dedicated servers will continue to remain offline for the time being, however you're always able to jump and on have a friendly match with a Steam friend via the challenge system! - Mike, Andy and Wayne (Project Hyperdrive)
- Version 1.11 - 14 October 2022
We have regretfully had to make the decision to move away from our backend provider and shut down dedicated servers for the time being. In its place, matches will now be held using Steam servers via player hosted lobbies. This can still be done through the usual Play menus and a fully featured lobby browser is now in place. We would like to thank everyone that has followed Godsbane this far! Stay tuned! - Mike, Andy and Wayne

General Changes to the pool to make rolls more consistent later on in the match.

Updated German translations.

- Godsbane Moves Free To Play - 4 May 2022
After a great amount of feedback from the dedicated community, we have made the decision to shift Godsbane towards a free-to-play model launching Wednesday 11 May. We want Godsbane to be as accessible to as many players as possible and we feel this is the way to move forward with that goal. Will Godsbane have pay-to-win elements now? No. We stand firm on our decision to keep the fair competitive aspect as strong as we can. All monetization is strictly cosmetic only. If I already purchased Godsbane before this update, what happens now? All existing players will be given an extremely generous amount of Devotion, our new cosmetic currency. We would just like to thank everyone involved with Godsbane so far and say an early welcome to all new players joining! - Mike, Andy and Wayne (Project Hyperdrive)
- Unit Skins and Showdown Game Mode - 29 April 2022
New Feature: Skins Work towards unlocking weird and wonderful skins for your units and show off to your enemies! Experimental New Mode: Showdown In this brand new mode, you'll be able to construct your draft on the fly just before the match starts. Given a limited amount of time, you must pick the right units and powers from a limited pool to destroy your opponent! Each player is given 15 seconds to pick one out of three units or powers until their draft is full and the match begins. General Divine Trials may now only be completed in Ranked mode. Solo matches, Divine Trials and Whack-A-Sol no longer award gold as rewards. Starting mana reverted back up to 10 based on community feedback. Balance Sentinel: Ability damage is now correctly calculated based on damage taken during the curse and not absolute health lost. This will prevent shields and healing from rendering the ability useless.…
- Version 1.5.7 - 21 April 2022

Hibernate: Stun duration increased by 0.5 seconds.
- Version 1.5.6 - 20 April 2022

Mortar: Should now correctly deal damage from any distance. Priestess: Basic attack damage reduced from 50 down to 47.

Healing Affinity grants 12% attack speed. Ignite: Now procs every 6 seconds instead of on spell cast to make it more reliable given its use case.
- Version 1.5.4 - 13 April 2022
Noteworthy The start of the first competitive season has brought with it certain exploitation issues. One of which is the increased viability of playing multiple instances of the same power across a number of units. To combat this and promote a more healthy meta, the following changes have been made: Powers can no longer be used across multiple units. For example, if you play Adrenaline on one of your units, you may not play it on any other unit you control. The amount of powers in a draft has been increased from 8 up to 10. This is to naturally allow two powers per unit in your draft while increasing the amount of "sideboard" options that you have available to you. General End of round and match sequence has been shortened even further to speed up matches. The amount of draft slots available has been increased to 10. Adjustments to unit and power pool numbers to ensure better draws lat…
