With summer just around the corner, the scheduled 2021 Summer Major Update is soon to be available free to all players. Based on the current development progress, we decide to release the major update on Jun. 18th.

The new features in this major update include: a long-anticipated heroine, a new random boss in Act 3, new weapons and adjustments to some legacy weapons, new occult scrolls and Talent 2.0. We're still tweaking and adjusting the new content, especially the new talent system. As of now, the current version of the newly-introduced features are still yet to meet our quality standard. With that being said, we will speed up the development process and strive to present the most satisfactory content as possible.

This month marks the first anniversary of the Early Access release of Gunfire Reborn. Looking back on the past year, we have gone through many ups and downs together, and the most invaluable gift we have received along the way is the devoted support and love from over 1-million players worldwide. This is the most effective catalyst for us to continue this wild ride with you. Thank you again for your feedback and love! We’ll keep on improving the game and delivering more exciting content in the future.
See you in mid-June!
