The 79th Update — Chapter 1 Completely Rebuilt, Reignited in Blood and Fire!

Handsome Rebels, good afternoon! Wishing you an early Happy Spring Festival!

We have reignited in blood and fire. After months of intense overtime + nearly every night staying up past midnight this past month, we have finally completed the full reset of Main Story Chapter 1.

"Rebellion GODSOUL" V1.79 (Chapter 1 Rebuild Version) is now updated on February 12. 70,000 words of rewritten script + over ten newly drawn CGs have been added.

This update includes:

• Approximately 70,000 words of brand-new script

• More than ten newly illustrated high-quality CGs

⚠ Old players are strongly advised to carefully read this announcement. If your old save file was in the Prologue / Chapter 1 of the previous version, you may encounter progression issues.

Overview of the major updates:

• Main Story Chapter 1 has been completely rewritten and restructured. The new Chapter 1 is about 70,000 words (old version was about 35,000 words).

  • Adjusted parts of the worldbuilding and character settings

  • Return to a more classic heroic narrative style

  • The protagonist (player-insert character: Rebel, name customizable) has been strengthened: still an AI creator in reality; enhanced combat capabilities in the Otherworld—

  • Now capable of both tactical command and personally participating in battle.Steam post image

  • Chapters 2–5 have fixed certain setting inconsistencies

  • Chapter 5 has removed / revised some controversial content

  • Minor adjustments at the end of the Prologue

  • Staff writing credits have been updated

• Chapters 2–5 of the main story are currently transitional Early Access versions, revised from the launch version. Most original voice acting remains. Further optimization will continue.

（Currently most programming work over the past three months has focused on the upcoming free Roguelike mode. In the main story, the protagonist mainly participates narratively for now. Exclusive cards may be added in the future. In Roguelike mode, the colorless card pool mainly belongs to the protagonist and Miss (the AI you created).）

The protagonist is very strong. He has no HP bar.

We would also like to apologize to some veteran players. If your save file was in the Prologue or Chapter 1, progress will reset in the new version as follows:

• Explanation regarding new version and old save files~

  • If your old save stopped at the Prologue, loading it will restart from the beginning of the new Prologue.

  • If your old save was in old Chapter 1, loading it will restart from the beginning of the new Chapter 1.

  • If your progress has reached or exceeded Chapter 2, loading will maintain your current progress without rollback.

  In short: if earlier content loads from an old version, it will switch to the new experience; later progress will not be affected.

• About the old version

  The final old version before 2026/2/12 1.78 will remain available in the beta branch. Access via Steam → Right-click Properties → Betas → Enter code. This allows veteran players to adjust saves or transfer data.

  • Players who do not enter the beta code will no longer be able to access the old version.

  • New players will directly enter the new version. The old version is invisible without entering the beta code.

• Old version beta code: GSOldVerson178 (no spaces, letters + numbers only)

  To return to the new version, simply exit the beta branch.

I'm a veteran player — how can I see the new Chapter 1?

You currently need to start a new save to fully experience the rebuilt Chapter 1.

We will later add a "Chapter Reset / Story Review" feature. This will allow you to reset to a specified chapter while retaining collected Linkers, items, gold, etc., though progression will reset.

The Story Review function will allow viewing previous story content without loss. For example, if your save is in Chapter 5, you can view the rebuilt Chapter 1.

We will notify everyone once this feature goes live.

Other important updates

• Added a more detailed Intent System. Hovering over a monster icon now shows the specific card it will use. Damage is previewed (based on the attacker’s value; final value depends on target status and battlefield buffs).Steam post image

• Based on player feedback, Xiaoshen’s real-world portrait has been optimized (left was previous version; most players preferred the new B version). If you prefer the old version, a downloadable mod will be provided later. The front portrait has been updated; side versions will also be improved.

Voice Acting Update

Some voice interjections were edited and reused from previous materials to avoid monotony in the rebuilt Chapter 1.

• Multiple newly illustrated high-quality CGs added

• Carefully crafted dynamic combat cinematics

  

We hope immersion is stronger than before.

Once scripts are finalized and voice acting is supplemented, we will prioritize improving Japanese voice acting.

If you enjoy the new story, please help spread the word! Thank you very much!

**Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and English versions have been synchronized as much as possible to minimize impact on experience.

Current translations were completed using internal tool assistance. Further polishing and refinement will follow.

If you are proficient in these languages and find inaccuracies, we welcome your feedback and will actively improve them.

Players of Rebellion GODSOUL are the coolest!
