The release of Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 with the enchanting Kronwerk has taken place
Traditional fantasy envelops the mind more strongly with pleasant expectations. This update for me was accompanied by a spectacle, similar to that which accompanied the release of The Pier. On the night of December 31, 2025, my heart began to beat faster, and my pupils dilated at the sight of three digits — 1.8.0. Kronwerk fits as a New Year's gift even better than The Pier or The Factory, although both cities are the most beautiful and unique. I want to stroll through the worn streets of The Pier, shake hands with the denizens of The Factory. The Factory has emerged very polished, with solidity felt in every breath of the fighter or puff of steam and smoke from The Factory.
Kronwerk, on the other hand, immediately sets a harsh atmosphere of cold winters — the view of the new town exudes a cozy 'Skyrim' vibe or even the adventure of 'Siberia' with its secrets, if you will.
Kronwerk is a city focused on defense, allowing heroes to learn the secondary skill “Runes”, which fits well into the existing balance. The city of snow elves, Vori, has a long history but has been developed most actively since the end of 2023 — in the New Year, I wish the HotA Crew immortal glory and to not rush in releasing gifts to the heroic community, which I also wish good luck.
