April marked a major milestone for Bullet Noir and our team at Wolcen Studio. With the Early Access release and a series of exciting events, we’ve been thrilled to see the game land in players’ hands and watch the action unfold.

Here’s a look back at everything that happened in April:

[h2]🎮 Early Access Launch[/h2]
Bullet Noir officially launched in Early Access on Steam. Players now have access to a gritty twin-stick shooter set in a noir-drenched city, with four playable characters, tactical one-hit-one-kill combat, and unique ability-driven gameplay. Thank you to everyone who picked up the game, left feedback, or helped spread the word.

[h2]🎁 Early Access Gleam Giveaway[/h2]

[h2]Our first Early Access update for Bullet Noir is live! [/h2]

[h3]Here’s what’s new under the flickering streetlights and constant rain:[/h3]

• Arcade Mode is now unlocked for the Doctor. It's time to test your skills.
  
• Cinematics have been sharpened with new voice-overs and richer visuals, pulling you deeper into the shadows.
  
• A new Mini-Boss prowls the alleys: a fast-moving, close-quarters bruiser. Drop them with 2 pistol shots, 1 shotgun blast, or a melee strike... if you’re quick enough.
  
• Loading Screen Tips were added to keep you sharp between runs.
  
• The Menu and Score Screen got a fresh coat of paint: slicker, sharper, and ready for business.
  

[h3]Thank you for playing and supporting us! Stay tuned, more updates are on the way! [/h3]
