Greetings, Town Managers!

The holidays are upon us, and we're bringing gifts to A Hero's Rest! We're thrilled to announce the release of Patch 1.2, packed with new features, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes to enhance your town-building experience.

But that's not all! From December 22nd to January 5th, 2025, players can unlock unique, limited-time seasonal decorations to deck their towns with festive cheer.
