Sigils - First Set of Permanent Upgrades

Hellbane Playtest · published 20 Jul 2026, 22:01 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi all! This patch adds Sigils, a permanent progression system. Everything you've unlocked so far was lost on death, Sigils change that. Spend your Souls in the hub to unlock upgrades that stick with you across every run. This is just the first batch, more effect kinds and a full upgrade tree are on the way.

  • Sigils: permanent upgrades bought with Souls, kept even after you die

  • Level them up: invest more Souls to raise a sigil's level and increase its bonus

  • Always-on passives: more Max Health, Move Speed, Damage, and starting Gold

  • Saved between sessions: your sigil progress and Souls persist to disk
