Greetings Brinehunters,

For the latest 1.3 update, we included a new playable area, new blessings, and an updated skill tree for the Soul Wheel.

However, many of our players have not liked the changes to the skill tree. Our idea was to both expand the skill tree and also encourage players to specialize their characters by unlocking some, but not all, skill nodes. Our community, however, feels this is not a good change and has requested the ability to unlock the entire skill tree again.

The purpose of our game is for it to be as fun as possible, so if our players tell us something isn't having its intended fun effect, we will of course listen!

We are working on an update right now that will enable players to unlock all nodes in the skill tree again. All the new nodes in 1.3 are staying; you will simply need more soul fragments to unlock everything.

Please keep in mind, however, it might take some time to QA test this before we can deploy the change on all platforms. We just wanted to make a quick announcement to let everyone know that we hear you and are working on it!

Thank you for all your feedback, Brinehunters. We’ll keep refining Abyssus according to it, and we are always listening to your voice on the Forums, on Discord, and on our Social media, so keep it coming!

It’s been a little over a month since we announced our update date, and the day is finally here! Brinehunters rejoice as we bring you more free content - as promised - alongside another optional, cosmetic-only supporter’s pack!

Whether Brinehunters have been getting in touch on socials or Discord (or sending a telegram - you know who you are) we’ve been listening. Update 1.3 brings the content that our Brinehunters have been asking for, and we’re live now with:

• A new playable area - full of custom-built Brinepunk machinery and dripping with new challenges for veteran Brinehunters

• Full cross-platform multiplayer - with our console launch, we’re expanding the pool of Brine-hunting comrades you can dive in with

• An updated skill tree and new blessings - with more options for you to level up your approach and blast through the Abyss

• A new God and fresh enemies - giving you more variety and mixing up the challenges you’ll face along the way

• Not just one, but TWO new sea shanties - providing the perfect musical accompaniment as you make your way into the darkest depths

As ever, all update content is free for our loyal Brinehunters! We’ve been busy since Abyssus released in August, and with your support, our free updates now mean that Abyssus now has over 70 hand-crafted levels, 9 different weapons (customizable with 54 weapon mods), over 140 Ancient Forge mods, 36 different enemies and 12 bosses, and over 250 Charms and Blessings to craft the perfect build!

We pledged to you that updates would be free, and we’re sticking to it. But if you’re the kind of Brinehunter who wants to support further, we also have our usual optional and cosmetic-only supporters’ pack ready to go.

The Brinerot pack is here for all of you who want to sport that trendy “Rotten to the Core” look on the abyssal catwalk this season. Grabbing the Brinerot pack will deliver a new helmet and armor, a new emote, and a new frame, too.

We can’t wait for our Brinehunters to delve into the Abyss again with our 1.3 update. As ever, your feedback is critical to how Abyssus expands, and we want to send another huge thank you to all Brinehunters who have been providing your thoughts since we released last year (and some of you even before).

Dive in, enjoy the new cross-platform multiplayer, and please do join us on Discord[discord.gg] where you can give us that all-important feedback and - of course - bring home the Brine! Now let’s get moving, singing as we go, Brinehunters!
