When we set out on this journey just seven weeks ago, we never imagined in our wildest dreams that the audience for our MMO would be this big. 104,441 Wishlists on Steam is a major accomplishment for us. You, the community, made this possible; your passion and feedback drives us every day to improve Soulbound and shape it's future. Thank you! Soulbound: Online is coming to Early Access on Steam on July 21st, and since then, we have launched two demos to over 50,000 players, across Bullet Fest and Next Fest. With your help, we've fixed an untold number of bugs, added new content and quality-of-life features (like Dungeon Finder region selector). As always, keep your feedback coming into the discord.
The new Dungeon Finder
Across the demos, many of you asked for a smoother experience when forming parties and entering dungeons, so we rebuild the dungeon finder from the ground up. We also added a new 'minimize' feature which hides the window, and shows a timer under the map, allowing you to carry on playing while you wait for a party.
The new Achievements Diary
One of the features we're most excited about is the upcoming Achievements system revamp: you not only get bragging rights, but you can also unlock some of the coolest cosmetics and mounts in the game. We've expanded this system to include categories, and achievement points to unlock tiers of rewards as you hunt your way through the easter eggs. We're excited to link this to Steam Achievements in the weeks that follow early access.
For now, the Next Fest demo is still live; come join us in Virelda! wWe can’t wait to see you in two weeks when the gates to Early Access open!
