KING Art's next big undertaking with The Dwarves is a content update that they are saying will be available in March 2017. One of its most prominent features will be an option called "Challenge Mode" that will change things up on the player. Expect to be able to hold off hordes of new enemies as long as you can, or even kill a specific amount of enemies as fast as possible, as well as a few other challenges.
The Dwarves is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
