Soulbound Legacy Launch - Patch Notes

Hey everyone! Thank you once again for your incredible support!

Finally, Introducing the Soulbound Legacy update. A final push from the original development team to update and polish Soulbound to the original vision!

It brings with it tons of new features, including achievements, updated visuals and Steam Remote Play, so you can finally cross souls with your friends online!

We’ll also be putting out some smaller bug fixes and tweaks in the near future, but this update squashes most of the known bugs from the original build.

🌟 Key Features Added

⏱️ New Visuals

We’ve refreshed the look of the game, updating some background visuals, character sprites and some animations, all with enhanced UI and effects, not to worry though, the classic visuals can still be found in survival mode for those of you who don't use dark mode!
