Sales of Soulmask exceeded 500,000!

Thank you!


This is a real milestone for Soulmask. Every Chieftain's participation in the Soulmask world makes all this happen!

We received lots of critique in the past 6 months. Each one of them was quite resounding, but made Soulmask better with the 800 updates nonetheless.





And your heartwarming positive reviews. Seriously, we can't make it this far without your encouragement!





This notice appears a bit lengthy for a game with only "500K sales", Right? But for a starting team, it's an achievement to be remembered — Thanks for every supporter again!

Guys who haven't put on the Soulmask, you're welcome to join our big clan! We just launched the biggest annual update "Carnival Parade" and the historical-low promotion! Grab this great opportunity to walk into this wild world.

The community's response has been incredibly encouraging: within just one week of the update, our 30-day approval rating has reached an impressive 87%, earning Very Positive reviews.

This recognition from the community reassures us that Soulmask is on the right path. The secret to a successful Early Access game lies in co-creating with the community, and it is thanks to all of you that Soulmask continues to improve and grow.

[h3]We'll keep rolling out new stuff. See you at the next milestone![/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Welcome to "Wild Ride" - our biggest and most transformative update for Soulmask. We've packed every feature we've been dreaming of into one massive release. Get ready - this update will revolutionize your Soulmask experience!

[h3]And there's more good news: we're launching our biggest sale ever with 20% off on Midweek Deal and Autumn Sale! There's never been a better time to join the adventure![/h3]

Let's cut to the chase and dive into what makes "Wild Ride" special:


[h2]New Mounts, New Ways to Explore[/h2]

Tired of your trusty llamas and big cats? We hear you! We've reimagined how chieftains explore the world of Soulmask with some exciting new additions.



For us, mounts aren't just about getting from A to B - they're about expanding possibilities. They can be your cargo carrier, tactical weapon, or even your mobile home.


Introducing our grandest mount yet - the Elephant! Based on one of Soulmask's largest creatures, this versatile mount offers unprecedented functionality. Want to enjoy a hot spring on the move? Rule from a mobile throne? Share hot cocoa with your tribesmen? The platform supports almost everything from your camp - and yes, it doubles as a formidable siege weapon.


Looking for something more adventurous? Meet our new Gliders! Unlike ostriches, these beauties harness wind currents for sustained flight. Your airtime is limited only by your skill!


The world feels smaller from up high, doesn't it? But that's just the beginning of what "Wild Ride" has to offer!


And with the holiday season approaching, we're adding some winter-themed features: Reindeer from the snow mountains are joining your stable of mounts! These magnificent creatures can pull specially designed sleds, perfect for transporting friends or cargo through snowy terrain. Time to hit the slopes, adventurers!


[h2]New Items - Igniter & Gas Canister[/h2]

You probably remember the signature move of the Flint Tribe leaders:



Well, after countless battles, chiefs have finally mastered their technology! You can now spray fuel on weapons and ignite them for devastating flame attacks:


Let’s hope your enemies won’t suffer too much! This attack has a chance to inflict multiple debuffs on your enemies, including defense reduction and slow stamina recovery—happy hunting!

We've also got another tool for tormenting your enemies: the new Gas Canister! It rapidly raises your enemy’s toxin gauge. Those pesky archers won't have anywhere to hide now.

[h2]New Map Events - Plunderer Events & New Boss[/h2]

Through your fearless exploration, the true face of this world has been revealed to your tribesmen. But you're not alone in your pursuits - the ruthless Plunderers have grown bolder, their expeditions to ancient ruins more frequent than ever. Armed with discovered ancient technologies, they seek to dominate these lands, and their expedition tracks are now plain to see. Meanwhile, the tribes are racing to secure resources, strengthening and arming themselves for what's to come. Look there - another mining convoy moves across the horizon, heavy with precious cargo!


Whatever happens, this is a golden opportunity for all chieftains - keep your eyes on those new markers on the world map! Whether you're catching Plunderers with their guard down after their successful raids, or stumbling upon the chaos of Plunderers and tribal transport teams crossing paths, we must seize every chance. Don't hesitate, make your move! You'll find massive mineral deposits, precious ancient artifacts, premium weapons, gear and tools, plus those extra special rewards like rare mount cubs and high-quality gliders!



Of course, they're prepared for your "visit." Tribal expeditions come with powerful barbarian escorts (perfect recruitment targets!), while Plunderer Ruins expeditions are more devious - they hide additional guards nearby, ready to ambush from all directions!

Among them is the Plunderers' new leader - Shadowblade, an assassination machine never before seen by chieftains. Using "Shadow Walker" stealth abilities, she vanishes mid-battle to perform deadly blade dances from behind...


[h2]New Feature - Honor Arena[/h2]

If you're ready to prove the true mettle of your mightiest tribesmen, your chance has come. The honor arena, forged through the alliance of the three great tribes, is about to open its gates. Send your finest warriors to claim victory!


Elite warriors from all three tribes, sorted by skill level, await in their respective arena zones. From common tribal warriors to chieftain candidates, your tribesmen will face their toughest challenges yet - including some formidable opponents you've never encountered.


As inter-clan competition rules prevent chieftains from entering personally, choose your strongest tribesmen and equip them to the teeth!


The rewards won't disappoint: beyond rich material rewards, exclusive new emotes will help you stand out among your peers.


[h2]New Feature - Advanced Animal Breeding[/h2]

Outgrowing your capybaras? Your farm is about to welcome some exciting new additions! "Wild Ride" introduces the new "Large Beast Trap," perfect for capturing baby bison, giant elephants, and moose.


You can also find giant eggs from tortoises and horned eagles in the wild. Carefully avoid the watchful parents, sneak them home... and you'll have adorable baby tortoises and horned eagles!


These new companions not only provide premium animal resources but add wonderful variety to your settlement. I myself love watching the baby tortoises waddle around camp now... adding a peaceful rhythm between your battles and adventures.


[h2]New Free DLC: Cozy Tribe Decoration Pack[/h2]

Hope it's not too cold where you are! (Except for Chiefs in the Southern Hemisphere, of course) We've prepared a special thanksgiving gift. Launching alongside "Wild Ride" comes Soulmask's first DLC: The Cozy Tribe Decoration Pack - and yes, it's completely free!

[h3]This winter-themed decoration pack brings exciting construction updates:[/h3]

Obsidian Construction Series: Our first new building material, cooled volcanic rock that keeps out every bit of winter chill;

Winter Interior Decorations: From hearths to rugs to cozy two-person fur beds - everything you need for the perfect chieftain's winter lifestyle

Outdoor Decorations: If your settlement feels too monotonous, our decorative plants can bring a touch of any biome you miss. Prefer cave mushrooms or riverside reeds?


Which is your favorite? Whatever it is, you can have it all today!

[h2]New Feature: Photo Mode[/h2]

Want to preserve those breathtaking views? Now you have better tools!


The new photo mode in "Wild Ride" lets you freeze time anywhere you want to capture memories. Adjust your angle and showcase the best sides of Soulmask's world.

*Love this angle?
[h2]New Optimization: Controller Support[/h2]
Yes, it took some time, but we've delivered on our promise!


We've thoroughly optimized controller support for all game interfaces, with fully customizable button mapping for every screen. We hope this provides a better experience for controller users.

Of course, we'll continue improving controller support - please keep your feedback coming, chieftains!
[h2]New Event: Twitch™ Live Drops[/h2]
