Soulslinger: Envoy of Death News

Greetings Soulslingers!

We have just released our first major update, The Forgotten Graveyard Update. In this patch, we are introducing a completely new realm, a new boss, a new weapon, new enemies to defeat and much more. We also made some balancing changes and fixed some bugs.

Forgotten Graveyard

Welcome to the Forgotten Graveyard! Are you ready to face the challenges that await you in a realm controlled by The Countess? Be prepared to fight ferocious monsters that you have never faced before to reach her.

But if you manage to defeat her, you will be rewarded with her precious weapon, the Night Quartet. It operates differently from the other weapons you were able to use before, as it has a cooldown mechanism. This means that you can fire it as many times as you want without having to reload it, but be cautious about overheating it!

Blood Essence and Spectral Essence

Blood Essence is used for a set of powerful new abilities focused on absorbing the blood and spirits of your opponents to heal yourself, deal more damage, or enhance your ultimate skill. However, some of these abilities are consumed upon use. Utilizing the Blood Essence abilities can give you an edge in challenging battles and help you in seemingly impossible fights.

To obtain Spectral Essence skills, you must venture into the treacherous 'Forgotten Graveyard'. These abilities are unique and powerful, for example, you can unlock explosive homing projectiles that can hunt down your targets and deal massive damage, or trade in your dash for a double jump.



Power Totem

The Power Totem is another new addition to Limbo. You can now spend the tears you've collected on permanent upgrades that will help you in your fight against the Cartel. You can upgrade as much as you want to get even stronger, as there is no end to the Power Totem—however, the cost increases each time.



This is the complete changelog for update 0.445:


NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS:

• New realm: the 'Forgotten Graveyard'
  
• Added four new enemies
  
• New boss: 'The Countess' can be defeated at the end of the Forgotten Graveyard
  
• New weapon: the 'Night Quartet' is a cooldown-based 4-shooter that you can loot from the Countess
  
• Added the 'Spectral Essence' and all its related abilities and perks, you can access these in the Forgotten Graveyard
  
• Added the 'Blood Essence' and all its related abilities and perks; you can access these after beating the King's Guard for the first time
  
• You can now construct the 'Power Totem' at Haven; this allows you to upgrade Soulslinger's stats infinitely
  
• You can now construct the 'Orb of the Seer' at Haven, this keeps track of your stats and efficiency
  
• Replaced the visuals of the Poison Bullet explosion with a much better looking and more impactful visual effect
  
• Movement with a gamepad is now based on a curve and has a deadzone, so moving the left or right thumbsticks will now respect the strength of movement
  
• All missing items are now indicated in the Workshop, along with instructions on how to get them
  

BALANCE:

• Reduced the length of time dilation caused by the Darkened Moment ability
  
• All AOE dash abilities now trigger 100% of the time
  
• Removed Healing Shards as separate rewards, these became redundant (the Blood Essence has the exact same perk)
  
• Healing Shards can still be acquired as boss rewards or at the challenge arena
  
• Reduced the health of the Cursed King from 9000 to 6000
  
• Reduced the impact circle of the stones thrown by Cartel Brutes
  
• Reduced the gravity of the Ardent Assassin's fireball projectile, making it slightly more effective

BUGFIXES:

• Fixed a bug which caused massive stutter at cut-scene transitions when DLSS was enabled
  
• Fixed a bug where the crafting screen status was not immediately updated upon collecting resources from the Bestiary
  
• Fixed a bug where the hidden gate downside obtained with a Death perk would never reset after loading a saved game
  
• Fixed a bug where saving the game immediately after beating the Cursed King would result in a corrupted saved game
  
• Fixed a bug where an empty or corrupted perk would be displayed when picking up a reward
  
• Tons of visual fixes and tweaks to make sure VFX doesn't overwhelm the screen
  
• Improved the map selection algorithm to make sure maps are repeated less frequently

Please let us know what you think!

So long, friends. Have a great time!
Ede out!

Greetings Soulslingers!

A new Early Access update for Soulslinger is just around the corner! Among other things it will bring you the new relam "The Forgotten Graveyard", plus a new boss to encounter. And it is precisely this new boss opponent that I would like to introduce to you in the sixth edition of "Wanted Dead or Alive".

So, take off your hats and bow before the "Countess":


The Countess is the menacing ghost of a once noble lady who, even in death, has established her own estate. She was a predator in life, sabotaging her poor tenants just to make it easier to fleece them. And it kept going even in death.



However, not long after she settled into her newfound empire in limbo, the leader of the Cartel has paid her a visit, ransacked her domain and took whatever was needed for the Cartel. This has driven the Countess to the brink of madness and has caused her to be suspicious and aggressive towards any stranger visiting her land.


So get ready for an audience with the countess that she won't forget!

So long, friends. Have a great time!
Ede out!

Howdy Soulslingers!

Welcome to the March Developer Update. Today, we would like to give you some more details about some of the new features and content that will arrive soon!

First of all, we’ve made the decision to merge the March and April updates on the Early Access Roadmap, which has given us some extra time to implement and get everything ready. The update is also shaping up to be much larger than initially planned!

So, without further ado, let’s dive right in!


New Realm: The 'Forgotten Graveyard'

Limbo is expanding with a new realm, The 'Forgotten Graveyard', where you will explore new areas and come across new challenges, ferocious monsters, as well as a new boss that will test even the most skilled Soulslingers.




Power Totem

The new Power Totem adds an exciting new dimension to the Limbo experience. You can now spend the tears you collected on permanent upgrades that will help your fight against the cartel. The Power Totem has no end, so you can continue upgrading as much as you want, but it gets more expensive each time!




The Night Quartet

As you venture into the new realm, you might come across a novel firearm called the 'Night Quartet'. This weapon functions a bit differently from the other weapons as it operates on a cooldown mechanism. This means that you can fire it as many times as you like without having to reload, but it is essential to be cautious of overheating!




Blood Essence

Blood Essence gives you several new powerful abilities that allow you to absorb the blood and spirits of your opponents to heal yourself or deal more damage, but it can also be used to enhance your existing ultimate skill. However, some of those abilities are consumed upon using them. Using the Blood Essence abilities can provide you with new ways to approach challenging battles and turn them into victories.




All these new features and a LOT more will be added to our first major update coming in April! In the meantime, if you can't wait to learn more, be sure to join our Discord community, where we often share exclusive sneak peeks!

So long, friends, and see you in the next developer update!
Ede out!

Happy Friday, Soulslingers!

Since the Ealry Acces release, we've been asked time and again to provide the Soulslinger: Envoy of Death soundtrack outside of the game as well. And so far we've always had to say "Unfortunately, that's not possible, sorry!".

But that has finally changed! We heard you, and that's why we teamed up with the Cologne-based label Black Screen Records to make the Soulslinger soundtrack available on all major streaming platforms:

We hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend and lots of fun with the Soulslinger soundtrack, wherever you listen to it: during sports, at work, while driving, or while playing Soulslinger!

So long, friends. Have a great time!
Ede out!
