About

The Ancient Gods picks up after the end of the main story in a time where, due to the Slayer's actions, the armies of heaven and hell have fallen out of balance. The demons have flooded in to overtake the weakened angelic realm, so the Slayer's been called in to clean up the mess.

Your war is not over… slaying the Khan Maykr left an imbalance of power that threatens all of creation.

Your mission is now you…
