Big Changes are coming to Soul Survivors, and this first change might come as a shock, but let's start with branding. We realize some people don't like change, but Early Access is and has always been about improving the game to us, and over the past few months we have improved a lot!

Soon, the game will no longer be called Soul Survivors. We will be announcing the new name as soon as the new promotional art and logo is finished up (likely next week).

We are not abandoning the game. We are simply re-branding, as we strongly believe this is the right decision for the long term. The game itself is not changing, and we will continue to push out weekly updates as we progress forward in Early Access.

Second, We would like to introduce you to Kalinov, the Keeper of Souls. Kalinov is a key character, not yet in the game, but he will be introduced when we arrive at Castle Usvit in version 0.7.x.



We want to introduce you now, as he is going to play a role in the rebranding of the game.

If you've been here since the beginning you will know there have been a massive amount of changes and improvements we've made to the game, and we will continue to improve the game until it is finished. We released in Early Access to build a small community and get player feedback to develop the best version of this game, and we believe we are succeeding in that. We listen to everything players say and we appreciate the feedback!

There is lots of other changes to come over the coming weeks/months, including a new character class, The Shadow Monk, a new XP system, enhanced lighting and scenery with new environment props and additions, and lots more. We will post more on all of this in the coming weeks.
