[h2]Hi, Chieftains![/h2]

We're thrilled to announce another milestone for Soulmask: our Steam Workshop is now officially live!

At this stage, since we are still in the testing phase, you can access the Soulmask Modkits by joining our Soulmask Modding Discord Channel!


But that's not all! As a vibrant Soulmask Mod creator community, you can enjoy:

1. A Modder channel with many experienced modders eager to answer your questions about mod creation.

The arena of ancient warriors is about to open, where blood and treasures await all! It’s Maggie here again!

If you're feeling a bit weary from the previous battles in Soulmask, then Fantastic Chieftains will be your perfect chance for a “second ignition.” Whether you prefer to unleash chaos in the new arena mode or let your creativity flow with other chieftains in our Workshop, the choice is yours. Or perhaps dancing with your friends dressed as tribe leaders could be an equally delightful idea?

Regardless, this update brings so many changes that we need to prepare a more convenient format for you to quickly grasp the new transformations brought by ‘The Chieftain’s Evolution.’ Let’s dive deeper into what’s ahead!

Some chieftains may have already caught wind of some information, but yes, we have indeed created something bigger and crazier...


What do you think it could be? Feel free to leave your guesses in the comments. We'll announce more on September 28th!
But for now, what matters most is — Enjoy ‘Fantastic Chieftains’!
