Resolution Games has released the “Warlock” update for cooperative tactical adventure game Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, which adds the Warlock hero, a new One Shot experience, additional language support, and the removal of hirelings.
“With this update, we’re expanding what it means to gather your party in Battlemarked,” said Resolution Games CEO Tommy Palm in a press release. “The Warlock introduces a class built around tension, temptation and tactical risk while our expanded language support ensures that more players around the world can experience these great adventures together. This is about deepening the fantasy, strengthening player agency, and continuing to build Battlemarked into a living world that grows alongside its community.”
Here is an overview of the update, via Resolution Games:
- A New Hero Emerges Among a Frozen Side Quest – With this update, Azruss Drevontir joins Battlemarked as a fully playable Warlock hero, wielding eldritch magic born of infernal promise. His class-based deck unleashes devastating pact-bound spells, battlefield manipulation, and volatile power that rewards bold strategy and precise coordination. Complete this side quest, and the Warlock becomes permanently unlocked—ready to join your party immediately in future campaigns and adventures.
- “Auril’s Cradle” One Shot – From the depths of winter’s cruelty and adding to the adventure, this update also introduces “Auril’s Cradle” as a new One Shot experience. Now available as a standalone One Shot for players who have unlocked Ythryn in the second campaign, this adventure offers a punishing test of tactical mastery. Designed to stand among the more formidable trials in Battlemarked, “Auril’s Cradle” launches without selectable difficulty modes—though additional difficulty options will arrive in a future update. Yet even without scaling modifiers, the shifting threats and strategic demands of this One Shot offer immense replayability. Each descent into the frostbound crucible presents new risks, new decisions, and new opportunities for glory—or defeat. For new players—or veterans replaying the second campaign—clearing “Auril’s Cradle” within the campaign will unlock the One Shot version for future standalone play.
- The Realms Expand: New Language Support – The call to adventure now echoes farther than ever. In today’s update, Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked now supports Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). These additions make it easier than ever for friends around the world to gather their party, strategize, and step into the Dungeons & Dragons universe together.
- Phase 2: Hirelings Redesign – Following on to the two-phase hirelings redesign announcement as a result of player feedback, today’s update marks Phase 2 of Battlemarked‘s hero system redesign, delivering one of the most significant gameplay evolutions yet: hirelings have been fully removed from the game. Moving forward, the only heroes in play are heroes created by players themselves. This shift ensures that every hero at the table is player-driven, reinforcing Battlemarked‘s focus on co-operative strategy, meaningful decision-making, and the shared thrill of overcoming impossible odds together.
Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is available now for PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, PC and SteamVR, and Quest.
