Dear Seekers,

Thank you for your patience!

As Steam Next Fest kicks into full gear, Seekers Alliance: Hero's Journey is receiving a major demo update.

Based on feedback from previous playtests, we've analyzed Hero pick rates, popular deck archetypes, and deckbuilding trends to further strengthen each Hero's unique identity and playstyle.

This update introduces the all-new Signature Abilities, along with Hero stories, expanded Collection content, and a brand-new unlockable Hero, Lil' Gecko, S.W.T. We hope these additions make your adventure across Sovereign's Island even more fulfilling.

The first set of Signature Abilities is now available for:
