Heya Soulslingers!

It’s official — Soulslinger: Envoy of Death has left Early Access and launched into version 1.0! After four years of development, your journey through the afterlife reaches its most intense and personal chapter yet. And trust us, this update is massive!

Step into Trauma, the darkest and most dangerous realm yet. Twisted memories, shattered souls, and haunting fragments of the past swirl together in this new endgame zone. It’s a brutal, atmospheric gauntlet designed to test everything you’ve learned so far. Only the strongest Soulslingers will survive.

At the heart of Trauma, you’ll face Victor — the elusive and powerful mastermind behind the soul-corrupting horrors you've been fighting all along. This is the ultimate showdown, and it introduces brand-new, never-before-seen mechanics that will challenge even the most seasoned players. Victor isn’t just another boss — he’s the boss.

Heya Soulslingers!

The wait is over! Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is leaving Early Access and stepping into its full release with Update 1.0 on April 17! This update is packed with new content and the long-awaited conclusion to Soulslinger’s journey. Let's dive right in!


Brace yourself for the Trauma realm! Within its depths, you’ll face four new, incredibly challenging enemies, each embodying one of the first four stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargain and Depression. All four are much more powerful than any enemy you’ve faced before. For instance, Anger is an explosive powerhouse with devastating area-of-effect attacks that can wipe out the unprepared whereas Depression is unlike any enemy before, as it doesn’t attack. Instead, it slows you to a crawl with its oppressive aura, making escape almost impossible.

Survive these manifestations of grief, and you'll earn the right to face the ultimate adversary...



At the end of the Trauma realm, the battle you've been waiting for finally arrives. Victor, the enigmatic mastermind pulling the strings, is now a full-fledged boss fight, featuring never-before-seen mechanics that will test your skill, strategy, and determination. This is the final confrontation – do you have what it takes to take him down?


A brand-new crafting category is here! Tomes unlock new perks and ultimate abilities for each Essence, breathing new life into your combat strategies.

• Tome of Fire – Unleash devastating fire-based abilities that make it much easier to set enemies on fire, as well as the Firestorm ultimate ability.
  
• Tome of Lightning – Harness the storm to stun enemies much longer, and also unlock the Tempest’s Wrath ultimate ability.
  
• Tome of Blood – Turns the Blood Essence into a powerful tool for survival, making health regeneration more viable than ever.
  
• Tome of Poison – Inflict slow, painful damage with enhanced toxin-based attacks, and unlock the Plague’s Embrace ultimate ability.

In addition to the new perks, you can also combine the new utlimate abilities with the Bloodshed ultimate ability, creating some of the most powerful abilities in the entire game!


Looking for the ultimate test of endurance? The new Trail of Ghosts mode is an endless survival challenge where waves of enemies grow stronger with each round. The deeper you go, the greater the rewards – but beware, Victor's Army won’t be your only concern. Expect bosses and elite enemies to show up in overwhelming numbers, making every second a fight for survival. How long can you last?



The stories of Death, Helene, Lady Valerie, Victor, and of course, Soulslinger himself are finally coming to a close. New conversations in Haven wrap up their arcs, bringing surprise twists and an emotional conclusion to your journey through the afterlife. If you've been invested in their fates, now’s the time to see how it all ends.



This is it, Soulslingers – the full release of the game you've helped shape with your feedback and support. From new enemies and realms to groundbreaking new game mechanics, Update 1.0 is our love letter to you, the players. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
