addedNew Location - CROGIS InstituteIn all previous updates, we only added new weapons or events to Bloodstorm. It's time to bring something new. That is exactly why we are adding the CROGIS Institute - the largest location for Bloodstorm that strikes a balance between scale and corridor-based layout.
changedKaishakuninFirearms are fun, but remember that weapons can overheat. That's where Kaishakunin comes in - a katana-like weapon developed not even by Daisen, but by a third-party company. Kaishakunin uses the player's Essence (your healing points) to heat up its blade, which increases the damage it deals. Combined with sliding and parrying, this turns the Kaishakunin into a powerful tool in the hands of gameplay virtuosos.
addedOther ImprovementsNew Bloodstorm events: Heat Resonance and Shuffle Time.
addedOther ImprovementsAdded a flashlight.
changedOther ImprovementsAdvanced UI: options to show damage numbers, kill status, and enemy outlines. This will be expanded in the future.

Kaishakunin

Firearms are fun, but remember that weapons can overheat. That's where Kaishakunin comes in - a katana-like weapon developed not even by Daisen, but by a third-party company. Kaishakunin uses the player's Essence (your healing points) to heat up its blade, which increases the damage it deals. Combined with sliding and parrying, this turns the Kaishakunin into a powerful tool in the hands of gameplay virtuosos.

Other Improvements

  • New Bloodstorm events: Heat Resonance and Shuffle Time.

  • Parrying system: the ability to deflect precise enemy attacks (and with Kaishakunin bullets as well).

  • Added a flashlight.

  • Advanced UI: options to show damage numbers, kill status, and enemy outlines. This will be expanded in the future.

  • Camera settings: the ability to disable camera shake/animations (for those prone to motion sickness).

  • Save management: saves can now be deleted directly in the game.

  • Scarlet update: the closer to overheating, the more damage Scarlet deals.

  • Improved enemy AI and reduced their base health.

  • Essence detailing: Essence now drops from the specific body part where the enemy took damage.

  • Added new "Did you know" tips.

  • Steam Integration: friends will now see your status playing Daisen in their library.

  • Bug fixes:

    • shooting around corners in tight spaces;

    • getting permanently stuck in melee attack status;

    • hands disappearing while healing;

    • crosshair disappearing permanently when using the Tiara weapon.

  • General optimization.

  • Other improvements not included in this list.

What's Next?

We recently published the Daisen Roadmap for 2026-2027. We have already completed our journey with Quality Update 1.5 and are moving forward according to the plan.

Quality Update 2 awaits you, after which the most interesting part begins. We are very much looking forward to showing you Prelude and providing you with an even better gaming experience. Thank you, employees... and not only of Daisen. Happy gaming!
