The giant Witchfire Reckoning update adds the melee brutality it's been missing, because its dev wants you to show off

The new Witchfire Reckoning update has just landed, marking the second-to-last milestone on the dark fantasy FPS game's road to 1.0. There's a whole heap of additions to expand the progression and challenge, along with a range of powerful handheld weapons that let you get up close and personal. Ahead of the update, we spoke to The Astronauts CEO and founder Adrian Chmielarz about what the new melee options bring to the table, and why it's okay to shelve your lore bible for a bit and just hit things with a big morningstar.
