Soldat News

[p]You're a drug-enhanced hitman with the moral compass of a broken slot machine, turning iconic Vegas hotels into impromptu abattoirs. Every table, chair, and kitchen utensil becomes a weapon in your hands because apparently, even the cutlery wants in on the action.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]WATCH THE TRAILER:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Welcome to the demo of the definitive top-down murder simulator where mobsters become meat puppets and physics is just another drug.

• [p]Ultra-violent room redecoration[/p]
• [p]Rooms shift. Layouts change. No run is ever safe.[/p]
• [p]Chemical superpowers: faster, stronger, higher — until you crash.[/p]
• [p]Brutal finishers: not just endings, but punchlines.[/p]
• [p]Inspired by the sickest, bleediest pop-culture nightmares: Hotline Miami, Pulp Fiction, Fear & Loathing in Vegas.

[p]Created by Michał Marcinkowski – the madman who gave us Soldat and clearly never learned when to stop.  "Jackal combines my love of John Wick fight scenes, Scorsese's mobsters, Tarantino's storytelling, and the soul of the 1970s," says Marcinkowski, presumably while cackling maniacally.[/p][p][/p][p]Release Info:

(A taste of the full massacre launching January 2026)[/p][p][/p][p]Warning: Side effects may include uncontrollable urges to redecorate with viscera, sudden appreciation for 1970s interior design, and the inexplicable need to wear sunglasses indoors.[/p][p]

In the wake of recent events in the Soldat community, I think, everyone felt the need for some kind of change and resolution. Trying to help with the situation I only discovered I can't help much, because Soldat needs a strong leadership and management. Not only from the community side, but it needs a developer effort. Unfortunately I can't provide that because my efforts are entirely focused on Soldat 2. Out of this seeming despair a solution sprang out during the last few weeks.

I have been contacted by a team of individuals offering to take over Soldat and help fix everything that is currently wrong. At first I was skeptical, but after much talking, I learnt they have not only good ideas but the resources and work power to do this. They want to first and foremost fix the Gather situation, unite the community and fix some of the long-standing Soldat bugs and issues.

It sounds very good to me, that's why I think we need to give this effort a chance, it might be exactly what the game needs. So, this week, we made a deal and Soldat will be taken over by a new management. This includes the community sites like Discord and forums and Steam. The game will remain open source, so anyone wanting to play with their own version of the game is welcome.

More information will be revealed as the transition takes place. I do realize how much this game means to you, that's why I've thought carefully about what I can do and what I can't, to help this game. And I've come to the conclusion that letting go of my creation is the best I can do now. Time will tell what this brings.

But I do hope this is a new chapter for Soldat and that the game will bring even more fun times for the next 20 years!

Have fun!
