Listening to your feedback

Here's a brand new patch with many improvements and fixes!

We've adjusted enemy hitboxes and damage windows based on your feedback. Please let us know if you feel like the overall experience has improved after trying this update. More patches are in the works and we'll share those when they're ready!

If you still encounter issues, such as if your progression has been soft locked, you can contact our Support Team who can provide replacement save files at each Chapter of the game.

Patch Notes - October 21, 2026

Balance and Design Changes

• Adjusted attack hitboxes for many enemies and bosses to better match their animations. This should prevent the feeling that attacks are hitting players when they appear to visually miss

• Tuned damage windows for several enemy attacks, including Risen Duelist, Eternal Guardsman, Howler, and others, which should improve hit consistency

• Improved the readability of attack windups for the Risen Sapeur’s push attack and the Risen Lancer’s unblockable red attack, making it more clear when they are coming

• Fixed a bug where Steam Deck and SteamOS could prompt players to update drivers despite being on latest
