Check out the full details below, as published on the game’s Steam Page:

The Hamlet may have fallen on hard times, but the creak of wagons and blare of abused trumpets signals a change in fortune for the bold and meek alike: the Circus is in town!
A weathered and bloodstained pavilion tent beckons, the Twins flank the flap, and a rheumy-eyed Barker announces:

“The Butcher demands a show!”

“Buy the ticket, take the ride.”
― Hunter S. Thompson

Features:

• New Hamlet Location: The Butcher’s Circus
• Engage in no-holds-barred PvP combat with teams of 4 heroes (without risking your Campaign heroes)

• Unlock banner components and use your creativity to assemble your own duelist heraldry
• Strategize with new gladiatorial trinkets that can mean all the difference in pitched battles against other heroes
• A gleefully warped musical theme by Stuart Chatwood, Narrator quips by the esteemed Wayne June, and all new gripping sound FX by Power Up Audio
