Gluttony is the third Circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno and Hell Maiden's confirmed Content Update 1 — still planned for release in 2026 according to AstralShift's official Steam Early Access roadmap published July 16, 2026. Early Access v0.2.32 includes Limbo and Lust with launch-week hotfixes through July 17; this preview page collects verified roadmap details, Divine Comedy context, and practical preparation steps until AstralShift ships the expansion.
What AstralShift Has Confirmed
AstralShift's launch-day Steam news post Hell Maiden Early Access Roadmap states: "Our plan for Hell Maiden is to follow the Divine Comedy's structure with the third Circle of Hell, Gluttony, coming still this year." The studio commits to regular hotfixes alongside major chapter releases — v0.2.31 shipped launch day, v0.2.32 followed July 17 with achievement and localization fixes.
Gluttony will add a new story chapter, map, enemies, and boss encounter following the narrative structure established in Limbo and Lust. Exact card counts, poet additions, and boss names remain unannounced — this wiki will expand walkthrough and boss guides when Content Update 1 ships.

Gluttony in Dante's Inferno
In the Divine Comedy, Gluttony punishes souls who indulged excessively — buried in filthy rain and guarded by Cerberus in classical interpretations. AstralShift reimagines each Inferno circle through anime-styled horde survival stages with unique environmental mechanics — Limbo's fire traps and Lust's wind hazards set precedent for Gluttony's distinct arena rules.
Hell Maiden's narrative follows Dante Alighieri's journey with rescued Poets of Limbo expanding card pools. Gluttony may introduce new poet rescue quests, Forum dialogue, and Forum archway access similar to how Lust unlocked after the first Minos victory.
The Mili opening theme Not my Paradiso and Skyleo in-game OST will likely expand with Gluttony boss themes — AstralShift paired unique music with Minos and Libicocco finales in Early Access.
How to Prepare Before Gluttony
Master Lust endgame before the expansion drops. Stack boss perks from Minos, Scarmiglione, and Libicocco; unlock all four Poets of Limbo; and farm Taboo Arts boss Spirit Cards with three victories per boss.
Refine build fundamentals that transfer across Circles: Spread mod hand placement, Beatrice charm stacking at odd levels, and temple routing from the hidden mechanics guide. Gluttony will punish under-merged decks harder than Limbo — Lust already signals the difficulty curve.
Use the Deck Builder and tier list to lock a flexible two-weapon core. Virgil AOE and Horace crit hybrids both scale into unknown enemy types better than single-poet dedication.
What This Wiki Will Add at Launch
When Gluttony ships, hellmaiden.wiki will publish a full Circle walkthrough, boss guide, map page, and tier list updates in all eight supported languages — English, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese.
Track patch notes for balance changes accompanying the expansion. AstralShift typically pairs content updates with hotfixes for progression bugs — the Libicocco clone fix in v0.2.31 set precedent for launch-day stability patches.
