🔥 Update 0.718: New Arenas, Improved Weapon Handling, Polished VFX, And More!

Greetings Soulslingers!

As announced last week, update 0.718 for Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is now available! This update in general is about listening to your feedback, and make the game the most enjoyable experience possible.

As of now you can interrupt reloading and swap weapons, the weapon handling, accuracy and animations were improved vastly, new arenas have been added to the Land of Memories and the Outskirts, new conversations with NCPs have been added in Haven, and VFX got polished and cleaned up or removed (when unncessary). Furthermore we've added new, higher quality ones for the sake of easier readability (clarity) of the battlefield.

The 0.718 update brings many more new features, balance changes, improved features and bugfixes; here is the complete changelog:
