Soulslinger: Envoy of Death News

Heya Soulslingers!

We’re excited to announce that the next update for Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is just around the corner, and this time, it’s all about YOU, the players! Based on your feedback, we will be making several impactful changes and additions to enhance your experience. Here’s what’s new:

First up, combat flow will receive a major overhaul! You’ll soon be able to interrupt reloading and swap weapons on the fly, giving you more flexibility and control in the heat of battle. Combined with vastly improved weapon handling, accuracy, and animations, every shot and reload will feel smoother and more precise than ever.

We’re also expanding the game world with new arenas being added to both the Land of Memories and the Outskirts. These new battlegrounds are designed to challenge your skills in fresh and exciting ways, ensuring that no two runs feel the same.



In Haven, you’ll have even more reasons to linger. New conversations with NPCs will provide deeper lore and opportunities to connect with Death, Lady Valerie, and Helene.

Finally, we’re putting a huge focus on visual clarity and polish. Numerous VFX will be reworked, with unnecessary elements cleaned up or removed, and higher-quality effects introduced. The result will be a battlefield that’s easier to read, letting you focus on the action without sacrificing clarity.

This update is a labor of love, shaped by your voices, and we can’t wait for you to dive back into the Soulslinger experience. Thank you for your feedback and continued support — it inspires us to keep making the game better with every release!

So long, friends!
Ede out!

Heya Soulslingers!

In just a few days, Soulslinger: Envoy of Death will receive its largest update yet, and we can't wait for you to dive in! The second half of the Outskirts realm will finally arrive, packed with treacherous new arenas, a host of never-before-seen enemies, and surprise encounters that break up regular gameplay.



We’re also introducing a brand-new weapon — the Wraithshot. A powerful addition to your arsenal, the Wraithshot schematics can be found after defeating the Revenant Sheriff boss. This gun is devastatingly strong, but its strength is balanced by the fact that it needs to be reloaded after each shot. But if that shot is used well, it can tear through the entire battlefield!



But that’s not all. We’re thrilled to finally introduce the game's main villain, Victor. With him comes a brand-new challenge: Rush Encounters. Victor intervenes in regular battles, summoning five elite enemy types, each more brutal than the last. These enemies can phase through walls and unleash devastating area-of-effect attacks, ramping up the intensity like never before.



Lastly, prepare to confront one of your deadliest opponents yet — the nightmarish Sentinel. This grotesque boss awaits you at the end of the Outskirts realm, wielding soul-devouring powers that pose an entirely new kind of threat. Do you have what it takes to bring it down and survive?

And this is just the tip of the iceberg — it’s not even a quarter of the changes and new features coming your way! After four months in the making, we at Elder Games are beyond excited to finally bring you this massive update!

So long, friends!
Ede out!
