PvE finally comes to HEX next week

[AL:HEX]For the longest time, PvE seemed like it would never arrive in the beleaguered HEX — so much so that it became a running joke of sorts. Well, it’s time to put that joke to bed, because HEX announced that it will be coming out with the first installment of its PvE game next week.

“Not a day goes by where we don’t get asked, ‘When is PvE coming?'” the studio posted. “Well, the answer is… THE END OF JANUARY! Yes, the week of January 24th we’re planning on launching the first update for PvE, of which there will be many to come!”

The first update, called Chronicles of Entrath, will allow players to create a character by picking a faction and race, choices of which will impact the story. From there, players will venture to Crayburn Castle to explore, experience the story, and fight many a battle.

Past its PvE announcement, HEX has been talking up the Usurper Dungeon, giving players pointers on how to build decks with the Hero of Adamanth, and looking at the current PvP meta of the game.

Stay tuned this weekend for a full report from Massively OP’s MJ Guthrie, who’s currently scoping out the new mode in person at a press event.
