Each fighter has now a third secret outfit set (a fighter's outfit set includes a costume for each of their form: human, deity and, if available, aternative deity). 
Leïla and Houssem also have two standard outfit sets and a secret third one like any other fighters despite being new to the roster.
===Outfit selection===
Now the player can also chose which costume the fighter will wear depending on his form, as opposed of the predetermined two outfits selections in the original game. 
To do that, the player has now, on the character selection screen, a fourth outfit option where he can select, through the three different sets of costumes, the outfit of the human, the deity and, if available, the alternative deity forms. 
In the VS mode, you can’t choose an outfit if it was already selected by the opponent.
Caleb and Darren are the only fighter who can’t use this option as they don’t change their outfit between their form, their outfit evolves with them.
When you finish the arcade mode with a fighter, you unlock a cinematic where is shown a memory from the fighter in the form of a slide of images. With two new fighters in Requiem from the Dunes, two new endings are unlockable.

HOUSSEM
"I am the weapon" we can hear Houssem's voice.
In Morocco, Houssem looks at his watch, it seems to indicate something dangerous near of him. He starts to walk faster, and active his robotic armor entering in his Media Form.
"I was trained and elevated to fight against the Heirs, to rival the gods"
The display on the watch shows that a Heir is close. Houssem uses his tentacles to escalate some buildings, the population around is breathless by the spectacle.
Houssem finds the Heirs, Leïla, she is sitting pensive on the corner of a fountain. She looks at him surprised. "I know who you are... Media the soldier.", Houssem freezes one instant and then responds to her "and I know what you are..." but instead of saying a Hier, he says "the most magnificent woman that I've never had the chance to take a look at."
Leila smiles.
With two new fighters in Requiem from the dunes, two new endings are unlockable in the Ascension mode.

HOUSSEM
:Interviewer tone: Excited
Don’t you fear your rivals? They are claiming revenge!
*"I fear nothing so come see me, I need some warm-up."
What do you want to say to all your fans out there?
*Even gods can be beating up! So don’t give up!"
Now that you’ve won, what’s the plan?
*"Anything my wife has in mind."
The Heirs to the Wrath - Requiem from the Dunes DLC offers new tracks to the game. Following the Arabian themes, most of the new music bring classical Arabian music sounds from the typical focus on electronic beats with, among others, the use of ouds and female vocal.

Thanks to all of you who took the time to draw the characters of Heirs to the Wrath! If you did an art about this game and want me to share it here just post it in the comments.
* Houssem's Deity form, Media, is heavily inspired by Cthulhu from the Lovecraft mytho. As Cthulhu doesn't belong to an ancient civilization mythology despite being very popular as a fictional deity, the HTTW Team choose to turn him into a robotic soldier.
* Special thanks to for giving advice during the creation of Leïla
* New outfits for Saeko, Caleb, Elek-Trode and Qingyun were designed by users on Fantendo, respectively , , and . Thanks to them!
