Solomon Kane

Solomon Kane is one of the three heroes the Steam page names out loud, next to Conan and Dark Agnes, inside a cast of five. The Grindstone fact sheet repeats that trio. A Wccftech press demo published the same day says Conan is the launch hero and that Solomon Kane arrives later, in a list that also holds Kull of Atlantis and Dark Agnes de Chastillon. Sources disagree. If you are here because you want the Puritan wanderer on day one, that disagreement is the whole page.

What is not on file

No store screenshot labels him. The cloaked figure with a cross on the official library art is a fair thing to wonder about, and the portrait stays unnamed. Howard's Kane is often drawn with severe black clothes and a cross, and the art uses a cross, but the image has no caption. Guessing a portrait into a roster slot would be fan fiction.

No weapon kit, talent, or Memory is published under his name. The announcement's spread of styles, crush, fence, shoot, and sorcery, is not mapped onto him. A rifle would fit the stories people already know. It is not a listed starting gun. Wait for a Warrior Memories note that actually says Kane.

How the disagreement should change your plan

The store names those three heroes together and tells you to choose from 5 distinct characters. That is launch-facing marketing. The press demo is a reporter relaying a presentation in which the studio showed Conan and described the others as later. Both can be "true" in a narrow way if the product eventually has five heroes and the first build does not. They cannot both be a promise about the first week. Until a patch note or a store line names a date for Kane, treat launch access as unconfirmed.

If you mainly want Conan, Kane's timing does not block a wishlist. If you want a co-op fantasy where one friend is Kane, read co-op and temper it. Two players each keep their own rewards in the store text. They cannot keep a hero who is not in the build.

What to watch

Watch the update log and the Steam page, not a tier list. There is no ranking of heroes because there is no shipped cast to rank. The playtest may answer the question early if a wave includes more than Conan. The publisher has not said the test roster out loud.

Verdict: Count Solomon Kane as a named hero on the official roster of five. Do not count him as a confirmed launch character while the press demo says later. Sources disagree, and the later claim is the one that can disappoint a co-op plan.
